How is it possible to tax non tangible products. like online services and what not? And what about water? I buy 1 gal of water at a supermarket like shaws or hannaford and there is not tax. but when i buy a disani or other water product they tax it.

Services are tangible when they carry a price tag. It is at the discretion of your state whether or not services are taxed. The bottled water question is similar; some states may consider smaller bottles of water as the same type of product as soda, and therefore may impose a "junk food" tax. The gallon jug of water is probably viewed as a staple grocery item, therefore not subject to sales taxes.

Disani and the other one is owned by the pepsi/coke companies. Not sure about the others.

They can tax prepared foods. I sell lobsters and if I sell them live there's no tax but if I cook them first there's tax. There is no tax on water but there is on soda. I guess the state can decide what is essential and what isn't.

The Government motto, "If it moves, then put a tax on it, if it doesn't move, then put pavement on it..."
