California: Vending Machine Fruit Tax
Buying fresh fruit from the grocery store or farmers market doesn’t require you to pay extra sales taxes on it. But if you have a hankering for fruit from a vending machine, it will cost you — a 33 percent tax to be exact. It’s unclear why this is — or why anyone would want to buy fruit out of a vending machine in the first place — but in California, that’s the way it is.
