Per capita it’s Finland that drinks the most coffee apparently in total numbers it’s USA, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia…
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.
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.
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.
I drink about 11kg dried beans on average. Daily brew is 60g and I drink half, so 30g. 365*30 = 10950g, just under 11 kg. There are occasional days I’ll have an extra cup out and about.
Vast majority of it is locally roasted.
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.
Probably 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
Nah these people are 1/3 caffeine.
Their cross country skiers might be 🤷
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.
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.
