More people visit France than any other country
France is a beautiful country, filled to the brim with delicious wines, scrumptious cheese and tons of romance. So there is no surprise that more people want to visit France than any other country according to UN world tourism organization.

There are only 3 countries that don't use the metric system
Most of the more than 200 countries in the world use the metric system when describing things like length, mass etc. How ever there are 3 countries that stand out : LIberia, Myanmar and the United States which dont use the metric system
Four babies are born every second in this world
Every second, we welcome four new babies into our overall population. Do a little math and you'll find out that means there are approximately 250 births each minute, 15,000 each hour, and 360,000 each day. In a full year, there are around 131.4 million babies born on Earth, according to the Ecology Global Network.
The coldest temperature ever recorded was -144 degrees Fahrenheit
You might have been accustomed to chill air and blustery winds but the average winter day has nothing on the coldest day ever recorded, which was -144 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature was recorded in Antarctica during a span of research between 2004 and 2016.
Just a few breaths of air at that temperature would induce hemorrhaging in your lungs and kill you.

North Korea and Cuba are the only places where you can't buy Coco Cola
Where ever you go, it is comforting to know you can always enjoy a Coco Cola almost anywhere in the world. But while this drink is sold every where in the world, it still hasn't made its way to North Korea or Cuba. This is because these countries are under long-term US trade embargoes. How ever some people say you might be able to take a sip of the drink if you try hard enough ( although it will typically be lot of more expensive that what you pay in the states - and probably imported from a neighboring country like Mexico of China )
