Beverages Leave 'Geographic Signatures' That Can Track People's Movements

  • Congratulations, I went through college drinking Coca Cola imported from somewhere like Khazakstan because my convenience store was cheap as shit and they sold it for almost $0.25 cheaper per can.

    The Coke-Zero I drank today was made in Toronto. The beer I drank this afternoon was made in Halifax Nova Scotia. Some of the beer I frequently buy comes from England, Belgium and I drink wines from Niagara, Australia and France.

    Not to mention a large proportion of the water I get daily comes from my food. Much of which can come from far of places like Chile and South Africa, and for my Kiwi's New Zealand.

    Yes beverages may leave geographic signatures, but by what I eat and drink in a single meal I can be receiving water from a half-dozen places around the world.

  • Cool idea, but what practical use does this have?
