Coca Cola is everywhere just look around. It's cool, it's fresh, it's young, it's energetic, it's tolerant, it's on your way to the cash register. The various drinks from the Coca Cola and Pepsi hydras easily and uselessly occupy maybe 10-20% of shelves of any grocery store?

in Mexico, and perhaps repeated elsewhere in the world, the dominance of Coca-cola can be traced directly to their policy of providing a free, serviced, high quality refrigerated unit to tens of thousands of tiny mom-n-pop storefronts on the condition that they are kept stocked and in a prominent position in the shop. In many of these shops today, and in all of them back in the 70's and 80's, it is/was the only refrigerated storage in the shop, and sometimes (rarely nowadays) the only source of chilled anything in an entire village.

Maybe not. Not at any grocery store I go to, anyway. I might give you 5%.
They have a full isle of sugared breakfast cereal though.
I have no judgement about people eating junk (in reasonable amounts). I eat it too from time to time.
But a full isle of junk for the "most important meal of the day"?
