This is the poorest and most mysterious area in Mexico. People here drink 2,2ml of Coke every day. Coke here is a sacrifice to the gods. Every year, 24, people here die of diabetes caused by Coke. So what causes Mexicans to drink coke instead of water? How did he become a sacrifice to the gods?
As the largest consumer of cola in the world, Mexicans have a famous saying, we don't drink water, we only drink cola. On average, everyone drinks 22 ml of coke every day, which is about seven cans of coke. In particular, Chiapas, the poorest state in Mexico, is very poor and backward, with a very high illiteracy rate, and still believes in traditional shaman religion. Everything in life is related to sacrifice. Even the burping caused by drinking it is a blessing to purify the body and mind and spit out evil spirits in the eyes of local people. Therefore, it even replaced the originally scarce medicine and became a panacea for diseases.
in Mexican culture, coke is not only a sacrifice, medicine, holy water, but also the best gift when giving gifts. The root of all this comes from a devil's deal, and evil money controls it all. In 1926, in order to open up the international market and reduce costs, Coca-Cola Company set its sights on Mexico, the neighbor of the United States. At that time, Mexico was very poor, but there were abundant water resources and cheap labor, so American capitalists signed a contract with Mexico to extract 1.13 million liters of water from Mexico's local pure water sources every day, and the water fee exceeding this amount was much lower than that of the United States, which caused a large amount of water resources in Mexico to be controlled by Coca-Cola companies, and the other part was polluted by these factories, so Mexicans could not drink clean water at all, so they had to go far away to get water.
Smart Americans, however, saw business opportunities. They lowered the price of Coke to a very low level, even lower than the price of ordinary water. Therefore, Mexicans who are inconvenient to drink water stop drinking water and start drinking coke. At the same time, the Coca-Cola Company also promised Mexican distributors that as long as you are willing to sell Coca-Cola, they will sponsor the equipment in your stores and restaurants for free, such as refrigerators, snack racks, tables and chairs. This has also caused a large number of supermarkets and convenience stores in Mexico not to sell drinking water at all, but only to sell coke.
