Few things are more recognizable than Coca-Cola. No matter where you travel and regardless of the local language, all you have to see is the familiar curved white stripe against a red background, and you instantly know what product is being promoted. Take a look at these 19 fun facts about the most popular soft drink in the world.

1. On average, more than 10,000 soft drinks from Coca-Cola are consumed every second of every day.
2. Of the 57 billion servings of all kinds of beverages consumed each day (other than water), just over 3% (1.9 billion) are drinks trademarked or licensed by Coca-Cola. It is the most widely distributed product on the planet.
3. There are only two countries in the world where Coca-Cola is not sold: Cuba and North Korea.
4. Coke makes so many different beverages that if you drank one per day, it would take you more than nine years to try them all. Coca-Cola has a product portfolio of more than 3,500 beverages (and 500 brands), including sodas, energy drinks, and soy-based drinks.
5. If every drop of Coke ever produced was placed in 8-ounce bottles and laid end-to-end, the bottles would reach the moon and back more than 2,000 times. Put another way, that would be one round-trip a day for five years, seven months, and 14 days.
