Reply #14: And it's not just recently that this has happened

I read a very interesting book a couple of years ago, called "A History of the World in Six Glasses". It was about how six beverages (beer, wine, distilled spirits, tea, coffee, and Coca-Cola) changed the history of the world.

What really struck me was a quote from Roberto Goizueta, the CEO of Coca-Cola, I was able to find it again:

"A billion hours ago, human life appeared on Earth. A billion minutes ago, Christianity emerged. A billion seconds ago, the Beatles performed on The Ed Sullivan Show. A billion Coca-Colas ago was yesterday morning."

Since he died in 1997, it had to be uttered before then. Right now, the Coca-Cola company is up to a billion and a half servings per day.
