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.
100% of statistics that make the EU sound good are believed on the spot.
Norway isn't in the EU dude.
100% of people who say shit like this in reference to Norway don't know that Norway isn't a member of the EU.
Skjera bagera
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.
Bull-fucking-shit that USA consumes more coffee per capita than Sweden, Finland and Norway. https://coffeeabout.com/coffee-consumption-by-country/

Fuck, gotta go get moar coffee
The site coffeeabout.com references worldatlas.com which is so full of advertising that it hangs Safari on a weak iPhone and thus I can’t dig any further for a reliable source of that info.
Ah to have natural resource riches and a liberal society!
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.
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
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.
