@not_a_newtgermany is taxing every little thing and movement. look at the math for a 1 liter bottle of coca-cola containing 10.6 grams of sugar per 100 milliliters. the sugar tax alone is 38 cents per liter. add 19% vat on that levy, which comes to about 7 cents. you end up with total taxes of about 45 cents per bottle. that means there is a €0.45 tax for a bottle of coke. the final price hits €1.68 instead of €1.23.
