Canada Has More Donut Shops Per Capita Than Anywhere Else
On the global stage, Canada is well-known for a few things, including Justin Bieber, beavers, and peacekeepers. It may therefore come as a shock to learn that the most courteous individuals on earth also own the greatest number of donut shops.
Even while Americans may adore Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts, Canada has 3,500 Tim Hortons locations nationwide. The nation has five times more donut shops per person than the US overall. In the 1990s, there were more than 500 stores in Toronto alone. Nowadays, Canadians eat a billion donuts annually. With only 38 million people, that means each and every Canadian consumes, on average, more than twenty-two dozen donuts annually.
Because coffee shops like Tim Hortons and Starbucks are recognized as much for their coffee as they are for their pastries, some have claimed that the high doughnut numbers are due to increased coffee consumption. It's also true that Canadians adore coffee. They may not be the best consumers in the world; that distinction belongs to Finland, where people consume more than 26 pounds of alcohol annually. With 14.33 pounds of coffee consumed per person, Canada is the only non-European nation to make the top ten.
