Things that make you surprised when you learn

[loginci 877]

So basically in this topic we will share the things that make us surprised when we learn them. 

 

my info for today: 

 

Population of the U.S.A: 330 million.

 

Number of starbucks: 15 000

Number of McDonalds: 40 000

Number of gun dealers: 65 000

 

Here is the source (2017)

 

 

 

Another information: If you take a ladder with you when you go to somewhere, you can enter for free to a lot of places as they will probably think that you are a worker of the interested place. That made me surprised as well.

 

 

What's your interesting info?

 

Share it in this topic.
