Also, interesting that it appears diapers and adult diapers are taxed too in some states. I wouldn't call them luxury items either.

I was surprised about 15 years ago when I bought a bag of ice and tax was added. Ice is considered a luxury item. I guess keeping your food safe in a cooler with ice is luxury.
