  • Analyses at 6 months based on n=820 restaurant periods.

  • *Robust clustered standard errors adjusted for seasonality and clustering. Percentages are the exponentiated coefficients of change in log-transformed numbers of beverages sold per customer and are calculated from: Embedded Image  (see online supplementary appendix 3 for more details).

  • SSBs, sugar-sweetened beverages.
