Yes, they are having an amazing time per capita.
Yeah i he's dropping the 5mil bombshell as if that was mindblowing. 5 million people drink almost as much coffee as 150 million? Craaaazy
Yeah I was going to say - interesting, but presumably per capita?
Even then it's not true. Sweden and Finland regularly trade first place when it comes to coffee consumption per capita.
So that the US sold be in first is just not true. And if I know for fact that's not true. I have serious doubts about the rest of his claims
I know the coffee bit is bullshit (https://coffeeabout.com/coffee-consumption-by-country/) so likely the other stuff is too
Person who made this mixes absolute and per capita measurements. Probably in more than one category
Well it might just be a mistake.
Norway is second on that per capita list and USA is first in tonnage. I could see how USA first, Norway second could be bungled out of that. Perhaps after a glass of wine or two. Or three maybe.
12KG of dried beans per capita is astounding. Those Scandinavians are giants among us.
No Australia in that list at all??? Not sure how we sit, but boy do we hit coffee hard in this country
I was curious so went digging a little.
This page says 2.2M 60KG bags in 2023 which works out at just over 5KG per capita (2.2 x 60M / 26M). That would put Australia around Croatia level on that graph.
So something smells. Not sure if it's the dry weight part as roasted coffee is lighter than the unroasted beans that come in those huge bags but those beans are dried. Maybe that graph is just plain wrong.
Anyway.... It looks like you guys are fair coffee junkies alright.
Nope - Finland is #1 coffee consumer. By a lot.
It's not correct about tacos either. I wouldn't even call what they're eating in Europe "tacos".
The US has got to be eating the second largest amount of tacos in the world. Not only are there millions of Mexicans in the country, tacos are part of the national cuisine.
Should I be informing some kind of official census each time I eat tacos at home?
Are you publicly admitting to not filling out your Daily Ration and Nutrient Survey? I'd delete this
I wouldn’t even call what they’re eating in Europe “tacos”.
the same applies to most americans as well
I wouldn't even call what they're eating in Europe "tacos".
Well we would. Stop gatekeeping!
Yes. It might even be that Sweden is second in Europe at least, but I may remember the last statistic I saw on that wrong.
Indeed, multiple countries come before the US on this chart too if I remember correctly.
Would be funny if it wasn't complete bs. Except for the amazing time part. They're fun folk.
Based on their mystery novels and TV shows, everyone there is depressed and living in a stark, bleak landscape.
I'm thinking they want to discourage tourism.
And this is why we should be critical to our sources, especially when it's "some guy on the internet".
It's simply not true.
I highly doubt that Norwegians consume the 2nd most tacos. If there was actual data on this subject then I think that we would probably find that the US consumes the most tacos, followed by Mexico.
Mexico's population is about 40% the size of the US population. There are also a lot of Mexicans living in the US, and there are Taco Bells everywhere.
After the first stat it's probably normalized to population.
I would think that to be the case, but he final line stating the population of Norway implies that these aren't rates, but total numbers.
You're right, of course. But I think it's equally plausible that the original writer didn't really grasp the difference and mixed some things up.
There's simply no way Norway has the US beat for total taco consumption; even per capita consumption would be impressive.
Seriously. Southern CA alone is 4-5x the population of all of Norway, and that region often has 3-4 taco shops per block when it’s allowed by zoning.
Edit: the USA has 75,000 Mexican restaurants. That means that there are only 73 people in Norway for every Mexican restaurant in the United States.
The average restaurant in the USA serves 100 people per day. That means that, on average, US Mexican restaurants serve more people daily than the entire population of Norway.
Another odd thing is that their oil fund owns about 1.5% of all globally listed stock shares. That's a lot by capita, since their population is less than 0.07% of the global population.
Per capita
That cannot be right. The usa isn't even in top ten of coffee consumption
Best Norway fact I have is that their wine (and spirits) is nationalised. Anything over 4.75%.
You can only buy it from the government in places called Vinmonopolet (English: The Wine Monopoly), and it is directly taxed.
And it's awesome. The staff have to actually study and pass a test so they can advise on wine selection. The selection is huge and far beyond what's visible in the stores - and there's a great app for ordering stuff. They even have massively subsidised wine courses and a free wine magazine that's surprisingly good.
Bull-fucking-shit that USA consumes more coffee per capita than Sweden, Finland and Norway. https://coffeeabout.com/coffee-consumption-by-country/
Also Norway is the country with the second most of Norway in their country. Just right after Hawaii.
And they are the second most planet in the galaxy. Just after the time lords.
Per capita it's Finland that drinks the most coffee apparently in total numbers it's USA, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia...
Ah to have natural resource riches and a liberal society!
You forgot the most important one, Norway is the world's first country of electrical car ownership by percentage, yet they are among the world's highest oil and gas producers, and they like to call themselves the most eco-friendly country in the world.
100% of statistics that make the EU sound good are believed on the spot.
100% of people who say shit like this in reference to Norway don't know that Norway isn't a member of the EU.
And somehow they're still depressed as shit, or so I heard.
Well given how much sun they get and thus vitamin D, no wonder.
Ok, wait, USA consumes the most coffee, I can believe that. But do they actually consume the most caffeine?
No, they're all bullshit stats. Finland is #1 /capita with Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark also super high but not quite as high. If we're talking total, then Norway isn't even in top 20. Too few people. Top is something like USA, Brazil, then other big countries like Germany, France, etc.
Also France is 2nd biggest manga consumer. Googled that a few months ago when I noticed a bunch of manga stores on the street and went into one and it had lots of people.
