If you are living in any city of India and you feel thirsty, you will drink water. But this does not happen everywhere. In a city of Mexico, Chiapas, when people feel thirsty, they prefer to drink Coca-Cola instead of water. People here drink so much Coca-Cola that the company has made the price of Coke equal to that of water. Now let us tell you why people here are doing this.
The matter is related to religion
Coca-Cola came to this city in the year 1960. Within a few days, its popularity increased so much that the religious leaders of Chiapas started keeping this drink in religious meetings instead of firewater. Gradually, Coke became a religious drink in this city and people started taking it as prasad. Later, a Coca-Cola plant was set up in this city itself, due to which the prices of Coke came down considerably here. Today the situation is such that every person here drinks about 800 liters of Coca Cola in a year.
People have become addicted
According to a report of the Audit Central website, in the last 50 years, people here have drunk so much Coca Cola that they have now become addicted to it. Children, old and young, all are victims of this addiction. Here people look for Coke instead of water to quench their thirst. Every person living here drinks about 2 liters of Coca Cola in a day.
People are falling prey to diseases
According to the report of Economic Times, due to Coca Cola addiction, people of Chiapas are now falling prey to serious diseases. Most of the people here are suffering from type 2 diabetes. Apart from this, they have many other health related problems. You can guess how much the people living here are addicted to Coca-Cola by the fact that a 6-month-old child drinks Coca-Cola here.
