      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

    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.

    There’s simply no way Norway has the US beat for total taco consumption; even per capita consumption would be impressive.

      Taco related products have their own aisle in almost every Nordic supermarket no matter how small and is often eaten once a week in every family. Not surprising considering any flatbread based food will inevitably be a hit in the Nordics.

      The way we eat tacos would seem foreign in the U.S or Mexico. Way more fresh vegetables for example.

      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.

        Even serving 7.5 million people per day that leaves 330-some million people every day who don’t eat tacos. Assuming every customer ate a taco with their meal, ~2,200 out of every 100,000 people eats at least one taco each day, so ~2.2%. This doesn’t account for people eating multiple tacos, however.

        Taco trucks just park wherever they want and deliver delicious tacos to the world. Zoning laws be damned

    Per capita it’s Finland that drinks the most coffee apparently in total numbers it’s USA, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia…

    Am I reading this wrong, or are apart from the Pepsi thing all per capita facts? How is this surprising you don’t need a large population for that.

      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.

        I think Norway not too dissimilar to Saint Petesburg. So probably they want to discourage tourism indeed.

        They also whip each other with shrubbery in the sauna. (or so I’ve heard)

          I’m from Finland (shares border with Norway) and yes, that’s a thing. I mean who wouldn’t love them some hot sweaty whipping anyhow?

          Just remember to use birch and not spruce.

    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.

    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.

      Well, the US is the country with the most people of Norwegian descent, ahead of Norway. Of course it helps up the number when you can include people with less than 100% ancestry in a much larger country.

    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.
