London, UK reggae fusion artist Maxi Priest sends an SOS to the world on his remake of "Message in a Bottle," the 1979 new wave single from The Police.
I'm aware that it's hyperbole, but that line about a hundred billion bottles washing up on the shore?
According to this article in Business Insider, Americans average 399 servings of Coke products per year.
With 307 million Americans at the time the article was written, it would take nearly 68 years for all of those bottles to be emptied.
Further, this article gives the diameter of a standard 16.9 fluid ounce bottle of Coke as 2.5 inches.
So, if 100 billion bottles were placed side by side, they would stretch for roughly 378,787 miles.
The entire coastline of UK, according to this site, is a mere 11,073 miles.
