Time to start selling Mitch Greenlickmyballs t-shirts. Apparently he's the Democratic rep from NW Portland. I don't care who he's running against, I'm sending that person $100.
btw, a cup of apple juice or orange juice has more calories than a Coke or Pepsi. There is nothing redeeming about 100% juice. Even the vitamins that they have, including vitamin C, are largely added, not natural.
But to RE-clarify - the rate is not .005 CENTS per ounce, it's .005 DOLLARS per ounce. That is, it's 0.5 cents per ounce -- "at a rate of $0.005 per ounce."
Converting between dollars and cents -- and you're changing by two orders of magnitude, hence you have to move the decimal point over by two if you want to talk in cents instead of dollars.

Hence, on a 16-ounce Pepsi, 8 cents.
