I highly doubt that Norwegians consume the 2nd most tacos. If there was actual data on this subject then I think that we would probably find that the US consumes the most tacos, followed by Mexico.

Mexico's population is about 40% the size of the US population. There are also a lot of Mexicans living in the US, and there are Taco Bells everywhere.

After the first stat it's probably normalized to population.

I would think that to be the case, but he final line stating the population of Norway implies that these aren't rates, but total numbers.

You're right, of course. But I think it's equally plausible that the original writer didn't really grasp the difference and mixed some things up.

I was thinking, no way they have France or Italy beaten in absolute coffee consumption. We are quite addicted to coffee and there's 10x more of us
