Pecan pie , if you have never tried one before , you need to . <| sep |> Holy shit that is a ton . In the US , most items have around a 6 % tax depending on where you go . Some things are taxed a little bit more depending on where you go . Fireworks and I think alcohol are usually taxed more . Things like airfare are taxed significantly more . But most places here don ' t tax food you buy at the grocery store ! That ' s crazy that yours is . Here it is taxed if it ' s prepared like at a fast food restaurant or precooked chicken at the deli counter . <| sep |> Ridiculous . I grew up going to the Juice Bowl because I lived close to the park and it was always a peaceful , fun affair . Our homicide rate is really alarming this year .
