> On December 3rd, 2007, Diageo announced the sale of the billionth bottle of Baileys since it was first introduced in 1973. That’s a thousand million bottles. And they will have sold at least a further 250 million bottles in the decade since then bringing the total up to something in the area of 1,250,000,000.
Slightly off topic but this writer seems to have a really low expectation of his readers.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoIt could have something to do with the old British definition of billion, which is a million million (10^12) and different to the new (American) one (10^9). (1000 + 250) million seems to also be simple maths but maybe that's also to clarify this.
