🐳 Whales, Dentists, and Scrabble

This is the weekly newsletter from the team at Refreshing - hoping to cheer up your Friday and leave you some numbers for the weekend.

457,000 -  Number of calories that a Blue Whale eats in one mouthful. It's made up of krill and is 240 times the energy that it takes to open its mouth and eat them. 

30% -  Percentage of Brits who haven't visited the dentist in more than 2 years. 

9,522 -  Number of 7-Eleven stores in the US. Every one has a vertical strip stuck to the door with lines marking out height in feet and inches. They're to help eyewitnesses of robberies to gauge the height of fleeing thieves. Since their introduction ten years ago, robberies have halved. 

386,000 -  Number of words in the French Scrabble dictionary. The French Scrabble champion is New Zealander Nigel Richards. He doesn't speak French but has a very good memory. 

46 years -  Time from discovery/invention before electricity was used by 25% of the population. It took TV 26 years, and smartphones just 4. 

16% -  Percentage of the public who think that Brexit is going well. The figure is just 31% among Leave voters. 

900 -  Number of times that your skin will replace itself during your lifetime.
