It would be interesting to see the effect of a sweetness tax. See if the manufacturers can make desirable beverages that don’t taste so sweet (and don’t have whatever effect triggering sweetness receptors so intensely has).
- scotty79 2y agoIn Poland there's a tax for both sugary and artificially sweetened drinks since 2021. Also caffeine and taurine. In one year the effect for beverages over all was 36% raise in proce and 20% drop in sales. Surprisingly sales of energy drinks rose by 4%. Caffeine drinks can't be sold to non-adults now so that probably dropped too. In two years 60% of beverages altered their ingredients. Tax income was less than you expected.
