    Facts:

    Bottles sold daily: 140 million

    Each bottle: ~0.25 meters

    Equator : 40 million meters

    140 mil. Bottles * 0,25 m = 35 million meters

    35<40 (equator) which means you can't circle it not even once with the bottles sold in US in one day!

    So 40:35 = 0,875

    That means we can circle only 87.5% of the Equator!

    Info: you need 160 million bottles to circle the Equator once.
