The numbers, 2010 per capita beverage consumption in the US, are just insane. I know a lot of people who never touch the stuff and even more people who’ve cut back tremendously. Where is all this soda consumption coming from? Which mad man is making up for miss healthy vegan’s zero soda drinking by double or even triple fisting at lunch time? Can people legitimately drink that much soda? Could you?
People, you’re pumping yourself with 170kg of that stuff! I used to love soft drinks as much as the next guy but those needless calories and extra sugar eventually catches up with you. On a good note, the number is falling. On a bad note, the number is still numero uno in the standings. What I also can’t believe: how disappointing our national beer consumption is! 80 litres is like a pint every two weeks. Weak. Check out the full infographic over at AdAge. [AdAge]
