re:"How BIG was that soda?"

It was a six pack.

Philadelphia is taxing BY THE OUNCE. So things like THIS are now happening:
 

Chuck Andrews picked up a $1.77 gallon jug of tea, got home and looked at his receipt.

"When I read the receipt I'm like, 'Wait a minute. I paid more in tax than I did for the product,'" Andrews said.

The tax on the $1.77 gallon of tea was $1.92 cents.

$5.99 ?????

How BIG was that soda?

And then $3.04 tax on top of that?

Small wonder you 'voided' that order.
(Remind me not to go to Philadelphia.)
