Tax Reform in This Election Year: It's Not Likely
Which Credit Card Rewards Does the IRS Care About?
While the sweetest of soft drinks may now be off limits in high-school vending machines, some hip new options may soon be available to the nation's students. In May 2006, the beverage industry voluntarily agreed to stop selling full-calorie sodas in schools. The agreement stated that companies could sell milk, water, diet sodas, sports drinks, and unsweetened and low-calorie juices.
The industry has now expanded this list to include additional beverages meeting the criterion of fewer than 100 calories per 12 ounces. Certain flavored iced teas and vitamin-flavored waters fit the bill. Most varieties of Glaceau VitaminWater, a recent acquisition of Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), have 75 calories or less. The same is true for the various flavors of SoBe LifeWater, owned by PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP).
