We spend our money on these products
We know roughly what we spend our money on. But, what about the others? Find out about the top 10 best selling products in the world.
From one product or another, we thought it might be on the list of top 10 selling products in the world . But we absolutely did not expect any candidates. But see for yourself what the investigation by Financesonline.com reveals.
Product # 1: Coca Cola
We all know Coca Cola and most of them will have drunk one or two bottles of lemonade in their lives. But would you have guessed that around the world, 1.8 billion bottles of Coca Cola go over the counter every day? That would mean that two out of ten people drink coke at least once a day. The global corporation Coca Cola has really made it to find its way into every corner of the world.
Product # 2: Lay's Chips
The world-famous brand Lay's sells 633 million bags a year - and only in the United States. The total weight of these chips is heavier than an aircraft carrier. Just to make that clear.
Product # 3: Playstation
On September 1, 1995, the first Playstation was launched in the US. That's almost twenty years ago. Meanwhile, the still-successful console has become one of the top 10 best-selling products in the world. 344 million Playstations have been sold to console fans since the launch. If we put the weight of these Playstations together, that would be twice the weight of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Product No. 4: Toyota Corolla
Yes, among the top 10 best-selling products is the Toyota Corolla. Since the start of the sale in 1996, 40.7 million models of the Japanese speedster have been purchased. If we put all these Toyota Corolla together, that would be comparable to the distance from New York City to Los Angeles, but 48 times. That would be about 134, 400 miles or a good 216, 000 kilometers.
Product # 5: iPad
We already thought that Apple would appear on the list of the top 10 best selling products. The iPad has been sold 211 million copies since 2010, not even in four years. With this number of Apple tablets, the earth could be circumnavigated once.
Product # 6: Angry Birds
This games app should be familiar to all of us. But we did not expect these sales figures anyway. Angry Birds has been downloaded 2 trillion times so far. Assuming that one person downloaded the app just once, it means that nearly 30 percent of the world's population has this game on their smartphone.
Product # 7: Michael Jackson's album Thriller
In 1997, Michael Jackson released his most successful album Thriller on the market. The record has since sold 70 million copies (as of 2012) and is therefore not only the most successful music album of all time, but also one of the best-selling products in the world. Since the younger generation can still cut off a slice of. For example, One Direction's first album sold 15 times less.
Product # 8: Harry Potter books
No question, the success of JK Rowling's Harry Potter series is undeniable. But would you have thought that since 1997 a total of 450 million copies of the successful novel series have sold? That's about 90 percent of full book sales in 2013.
Product # 9: iPhone
Sure, if it creates the iPad in the ranking of best-selling products, then the iPhone. And that even surpasses his tablet colleagues. Since 2007, 516 million iPhones have been sold around the world. By comparison, there are approximately 505 million people throughout the European Union.
Product # 10: The magic cube
Everyone has had it in their hands before. That's not surprising with these sales figures. The magic cube, which was originally developed in Hungary, has sold 350 million copies in the last 34 years. The number of magic cubes sold is roughly comparable to the population of his home country.
