“studies suggest that an average coffee drinker’s consumption of coffee increases with age, from age 10 through age 60. even after age 60, coffee consumption remains high. the average cola drinker’s consumption of cola, however, declines with increasing age. both of these trends have remained stable for the past 40 years. given that the number of older adults will significantly increase as the population ages over the next 20 years, it follows that the demand for coffee will increase and the demand for cola will decrease during this period. we should, therefore, consider transferring our investments from cola loca to early bird coffee.”
