Not All Countries Have a Sweet Tooth

Statista Consumer Insights reveals that Brits have the biggest sweet tooth among 21 nations surveyed. Almost as many people said they consumed sweets and chocolate regularly in Germany, Austria, Finland and Sweden. In Italy as well as Australia, Brazil, Poland, South Africa, Spain and Switzerland, more than 40 percent of respondents are eating candy or chocolate frequently. The same number was 40 percent in the United States.

Inhabitants of Asian countries were less likely to say that they ate sweets or chocolate regularly. 31 percent in Japan, 27 percent in China and only 17 percent in South Korea said so. This made South Koreans the nations with the least avid sweets consumers in the survey.
