A Detailed Study on Facts

Why are North Korea and Cuba the only places you can't buy Coca-Cola? How does the entire world's population fit inside Los Angeles? Why do more people visit France than any other country? Read to find out.

Let’s learn about some unthinkable facts about the coca-cola ban, in Los Angeles and France.

 North Korea and Cuba are the only places where you can’t buy Coca-Cola. 

Coca-Cola was introduced by a pharmacist named Dr. John S. Pemberton in 1886. Coca-Cola is a soft-drink beverage that has held a high position as the most popular soda drink or soft drink in the world. Some call it Coke, some call it cola but the actual brand name is Coca-Cola. Its most known Rivals are Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Dr Pepper. 

Events like the Olympic games in 1928 and during World War 2 demand for soda drinks made coca-cola renowned in the market. Soon enough its formula changed to diet and it became the best-selling low-calorie Drink on the planet.

Even now you can easily spot Coca-Cola in many pulling prank videos as people do not drink as much soda as they used to initially.

Why is coca-cola not available in Cuba?

After the Cuban Revolution, led by Fidel Castro, halted the production of Coca-Cola in 1962. The new Cuban government started seizing American firms. Coca-Cola moved out and never returned. Even now the United States holds the commercial, financial and economic embargo against the Republic of Cuba. Hence, no American companies trade with Cuba. This is the reason there is no Coca-Cola in Cuba.

 Why is coca-cola not available in  North Korea?

During the Korean War from 1950 – to 1953 the United State-imposed some trade sanctions on North Korea and after the attack of North Korea on South Korea in 1980 these sanctions were restricted further as a result of a long period of time trade between the US and North Korea was also restricted. Thus, Korea has not sold Coca Cola since the Korean War

In North Korea, coca-cola was spotted in  restaurants. Later, the company clarifies that they didn’t sell it. It must be smuggled.

For a long period of time, even Myanmar and Vietnam weren’t selling coca-cola but later the ban was lifted. 

The entire world’s population could fit inside Los Angeles.

Do you feel the world is overpopulated? It’s a fact that the world’s total population is more than 7.5 billion but once you learn that according to National Geographic if this population stands shoulder to shoulder it can fit within 500 square miles of Los Angeles

To clarify this fact let’s assume that each person occupies an inch of 18 square feet which means they would take up around 2.25 square feet and if you multiply that with 7 billion which is the world’s population you get 15,750,000,000 square feet.

  To fit Everyone in Los Angeles we need to follow some steps:-

  •  Build skyscraper

 We already know that we can make buildings as high as Burj Khalifa. The world’s tallest building. We already know the world’s population can  fit into the Los Angeles floor but to give them living space. We can make tons of these tall skyscrapers.

  • Maximum Occupancy in small apartments 

As per Michigan laws,  we could put 10 people into 750 square feet in the apartment Finance Center allowing for the narrow hallways and small lobby space. It means we can fit 10  people in each apartment and each skyscraper 72,860 people. 

  • Cover Los Angeles with these skyscrapers 

 If we fill Los Angeles with these 132,318  skyscraper buildings.

Now with these three steps, if you can assume living in a world far more densely populated than Hong Kong with buildings starting at the foot of the ocean, small and cramped, then the answer is yes, we can fit the entire world in Los Angeles. 

More people visit France than any other country.

 It might come as a surprise but France’s 8% revenue comes from tourism every year. France is known as the most visited country. France not only welcomes movie shootings but also nearly 90 million visitors every normal non-covid year. 

  1. France is famous for its landscape.
  2. France’s old towns and villages also attract visitors.
  3. Architecture from all across the ages like cathedrals, abbeys, medical market halls, Roman temples, and amphitheaters. 
  4. France is known for its cuisine which also helps to attract more and more visitors.
  5. The wine plays a vital role as they have many vineyards, which allow visitors to explore by Golf cart and can arrange picnics in the midst of the vineyards.
  6. The beautiful beaches.
  7. The sources of inspiration.

Conclusion

Through this article now we know how we can fit the entire world’s population in Los Angeles in three steps and France is one of the most beautiful cities. Also why no coca-cola for Cuba and North Korea.
