        @Isramations @ma_makosh ok so new hypothetical: what if the business were a car wash? I guess in that case the product being sold is a service rather than an actual good (there isn't usually enough water residue left on a car after a car wash to be worth keeping), so never mind...

      @Isramations @ma_makosh Let me try again: Let's say hydrogen fuel cell technology becomes feasible & mass-produced, so cars can run on hydrogen extracted from water. Gas stations are replaced w/water stations for cars to fill up their tanks w/water. Would these stations have to apply the wet items tax?

    @Isramations @ma_makosh (The car itself could be considered the "container" in this case, but it's not really what the station is selling to you, nor would I consider it to be "wet" when filled up... the water itself that you're filling up with, though, now that's a separate question...)

      @Isramations @ma_makosh (or, to clarify, while I'd consider the car's fuel tank to be wet when filled, I wouldn't consider the car itself as a whole to be wet)
