Is it against the law to sell soft drinks at a garage sale?
I am having a garage sale next weekend and before I go out and buy a bunch of coke and sprite, I want to know if it is okay for me to sell soft drinks at a concession stand at my garage sale. I live in Germany and I think it may not be okay to sell US drinks to the Germans in my village. If not, is there anything that I am allowed to sell? I would love to make some extra money next weekend.

I'm not sure about another country. I live in Florida, USA and to do a garage sale we need to get a permit at our City Hall. I would say ask some city/village authority that way you can have a garage sale free of problems. Hope it goes well!!

No one in either the US or Germany is going to care if you sell a few sodas one weekend. Law enforcement agencies have bigger fish to fry than that.

As long as you are selling unopened cans or bottles you are OK. You'll need a health department permit (and likely a food hander license) if you pour soda into cups from another container.
