Which Countries Have The Biggest Sweet Tooth?

South Korea — 15%

15% of South Koreans explained that they consumed sweets and chocolates regularly, which turned out to be an interesting contrast with other Asian countries on the list.

Kenya — 22%

Kenya was the only African country to make it onto the list. This begs the question: Why don’t more countries on the African continent have a sweet tooth?

China — 25%

One-quarter of Chinese people surveyed said they regularly indulge their desire to enjoy a sweet treat. But why such a big jump from those living in South Korea?

Japan — 35%

People in Japan have an even bigger sweet tooth than those in China and South Korea, which is interesting considering the country’s fascination with umami-centric dishes.

France — 38%

You’d think the land of butter and croissants wouldn’t be so high on a list of nations that regularly indulge their sweet tooth, but the French do have an amazing dessert culture.

The United States — 41%

Italians aren’t known globally for loving sweet-tasting treats but they apparently have one of the largest in Europe.

Italy — 43%

15% of South Koreans explained that they consumed sweets and chocolates regularly, which turned out to be an interesting contrast with other Asian countries on the list.

Belgium — 53%

This one is no surprise since Belgium is one of the world’s most well-known chocolate producers and one of the few places you can eat waffles on the street without getting a funny look from passersby.
