Norway has some surprising stats

Nah these people are 1/3 caffeine.

Their cross country skiers might be 🤷

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

they have 20 hour long nights in the winter. they probably need coffee to function

Coffee is remarkable for the digestive system.

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.

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.

I order about 1.5kg of beans per month here in the UK, mostly from farrers in Kendal, and it’s easy to drink that much, it’s only 2 or 3 cups a day.

I drink about 20kg of coffee per year. Those Norwegians are lightweights.

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

Make sure you fill out your Tracking And Consuming Order Sheet.

I would bet my life that given the choice between Texmex tacos and European tacos, the vast majority of people raised on authentic tacos would choose Texmex. At least Texmex sometimes accidentally gets authentic flavors by virtue of proximity to the same ingredients.

I wouldn’t even call what they’re eating in Europe “tacos”.

Well we would. Stop gatekeeping!

You don’t have any good peppers and wouldn’t know what to do with them if you did. Peppers are the key to authentic Mexican food.

When people in Scandinavia says they’re eating Tacos. What they mean is, we’re making and eating burritos.

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.

And Sweden in second place.

Per capita ofc.

And USA isn’t even in the top 20. Stuff like this makes me wonder if anything in the post is even remotely correct.

Depends on if you count in total or per person, and what you’re defining as coffee.

It doesn’t say #1. For any of the stats.

Yeah. It says 2nd. After the USA. Guess who is first?

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.

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.

Sounds legit. Same in russian banyas.

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

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.
