And then people don’t get why they are putting on weight. It is also worrying that bottled water is increasing as it is harmful for the environment and not a necessity in most countries.
does this only include Coca-cola or also Diet and Zero? If so, your calorie count could be WAY off.
Hello from Russia!
Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?
These numbers are for ALL Coca-Cola Company beverages, not just the soda drink.
You see, the kids today, they drink the Arizona Ice Tea, which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin’, and the hoppin’, and the bippin’, and the boppin’, so they don’t know what the jazz… is all about!
Also, you are correct. This is for all Coke brand drinks (though I’d be interested in the numbers if you combined Coke AND Pepsi AND Dr. Pepper).
no it is acyually for coca cola products if you read the title of the article duh!
Something they appear to have missed: our consumption has only increased by 4 in ten years, placing us below everyone else mentioned here except Canada for growth. The lower graph even shows that consumption has been going down over the past few years, while bottled water has risen to overtake everything else except soda.
Excellent information thank you.
the best country in the word it´s Spain and them USA!!!!!!!!
what i m never gonna drink this thing again
Major props to Coca Cola. They sure do know how to promote their product. In the southern US, the word “coke” is synonomous with soda. In the DR, we traveled to the local colmado for a coke with the locals on a hot day. Coca Cola has a worldwide presence and has worked hard to get it.
Ma che cazzo significa????
how much coka cola does the average person consume in a year, lifetime, day?
