Beverages Leave 'Geographic Signatures' That Can Track People's Movements

Congratulations, I went through college drinking Coca Cola imported from somewhere like Khazakstan because my convenience store was cheap as shit and they sold it for almost $0.25 cheaper per can.<p>The Coke-Zero I drank today was made in Toronto. The beer I drank this afternoon was made in Halifax Nova Scotia. Some of the beer I frequently buy comes from England, Belgium and I drink wines from Niagara, Australia and France.<p>Not to mention a large proportion of the water I get daily comes from my food. Much of which can come from far of places like Chile and South Africa, and for my Kiwi's New Zealand.<p>Yes beverages may leave geographic signatures, but by what I eat and drink in a single meal I can be receiving water from a half-dozen places around the world.

Cool idea, but what practical use does this have?
