Really cool statistics

Posted by foslock on Oct. 28, 2006, 9:24 p.m.

I get Time magazine at my dads house and it always has really little tid-bits or facts about the world. The current issue gives us a load of numbers about the average person in the US.

Item - Number sold per day

Porsche 911's - 34

iPods - 88,163

Barbie Dolls - 125,000

Trojan ultra-thin condoms - 123,287

12 oz. cans of pepsi - 50,051,507

Dell Laptops - 20,826

Twinkies - 500,000

Pregnancy Tests - 14,100

12 oz. serving of Bud Light - 35,079,448

Pampers - 300,000

20 oz. Bottle of Aquifina Water - 8,179,726

Burger King Whoppers - 2,400,000

Domino's Pepperoni pizzas - 536,000

Federal Express packages shipped - 6,000,000

Hot Wheels Mini cars - 150,000

lbs. of starbucks - 153,424

Axe Phoenix body spray - 28,876

Very cool stats, and I would never imagine that the number of condoms is only 1.5 times more than iPods. Very cool though.

I just got this awesome new 2.1 speaker system for my computer/iPod and the subwoofer is awesome. The tweeters are smaller than I would have hoped but they still pack a huge punch. I think I got the bang for my buck. Literally.

Well, I still am kinda obsessed with 64digits and come back here like every five minutes when I have nothing to do. But I'm working on that :)

I thought the condom score would be higher, but now a days, its coming to a stop.

I mean, look at the population. Way to high; we'll need population control.

That is only ONE brand of condom.

Yes, Hitler was on to something. If only he weren't a picky bastard. But hey, look at the Whopper consumption. A high demand for meat, and an abundance of humans. I think i've got a solution!

Um, fast food meat is NOT real meat. We would need a LOT more cows if we wanted to have 2,400,000 patties of beef. Not to mention that's ONE product in ONE fast food restaurant.

Yes, they have black spots and they give out milk.

You know, they probably already use people in fast food meat…
