This article doesn't say that. How many people would pay a toll/transit fare and spend an hour on the road both way to get a larger soda?

Indeed, the words "New Jersey" do not even occur in that article.

It's not clear why someone who really, really wanted more than 16 oz. of soda could not simply order two, if they want it so much they're willing to consider traveling to New Jersey. Or for that matter just go to the store and buy a 2 liter bottle of soda.
