I don't believe this has been brought up (to be honest I did skim through the thread very quickly) but I'm pretty sure a similar tax was passed about 10 years ago or so... in the Seattle area.
I remember there being a sugar tax but at that time candy was also taxed along with soda.
If I remember correctly it lasted like 2 months.
Edit: I googled a bit and found that it was sales tax that was added to candy, gum, bottled water and beer in 2010. So kind of similar but definitely not has heavy on the wallet. It did only last a few months though.
