Were the soda tax' implementation not so stupid, I wouldn't have any problem with it. Sweetened drinks are taxed by total volume, not by amount of sugar eg. a 2litre of soda is taxed at $1.01, regardless of how many grams of sugar it has. Furthermore, sugar-free drinks sweetened with zero-cal/zero-carb sweeteners are also taxed at this rate.
At that rate, 3l Dollar Tree sodas, were the stores still selling them, would have to be sold at $2.52 eacg, well over double the original pricetag.

The product itself does not contain any calories. However, it triggers an insulin response which makes the body more likely to put on fat if you currently have a caloric surplus. That is usually the case since people typically drink soda with a meal.

Pepsi One had just 1 calorie per 12 ounces.
Diet soda has less than 1 calorie per 12 ounces, not 5-10 per 6 ounces like you're suggesting.
Although either way this is a retarded tangent since even were there to exist some imaginary diet soda that had 5-10 calories per 6 ounces that would still mean if you switched to it from a regular Pepsi you'd be going from 150 calories per 12 ounces down to 10-20 calories per 12 ounces, which would be around a 90% reduction in calories from soda.
And it would still make no real difference because, once again, soda does not make people fat, eating like fat idiots is what makes people fat. Soda's just an excuse fat people focus on to avoid dealing with their eating habits.

You are mistaking what they say it’s for with what it’s actually for. They SAY it’s for health. It’s ACTUALLY to rob people of more of their money while simultaneously pricing out the poorer people they claim to care about. Richer people can afford the soda tax, poorer people are more likely to drink soda and pay the tax and be unable to afford it. So essentially they are robbing poor people of a basic freedom to drink what they choose. Soda alone doesn’t make you fat. How many or how often you drink it could but that’s beside the point.

>Richer people can afford the soda tax
Whether they could "afford" to pay extra for contaminated garbage water in a tacky plastic bottle is beside the point. Well off people just generally don't drink soda at the same level as poor uneducated people, they drink water, or obscenely overpriced fresh pressed juices, or whatever meme-of-the-month beverage their friends think is cool. And they are healthier because of the big picture, not because of one thing. Poor people aren't going to change their big picture through a single pigouvian tax. What may change though is their filthy soda habit, if it can be made more expensive than water, rather than cheaper.

You're just repeating tired talking points from the "grassroots" pro-soda campaign from a few years ago. It was incredibly transparent at the time, and the fact that you fell for it doesn't speak well to your intelligence. It's like saying that a progressive tax on income is going to make people work less. The reason that's faulty logic is because as you make more money less of your cash flow goes to basic non-negotiable needs like food and shelter. And in addition, the kinds of progressive tax changes usually being proposed affect people in the $500k+ brackets and yet are always being ardently opposed by people making like $50k a year, for some reason.
