The Breast Map

Someone made a world map of average breast sizes by country. Russia and Scandinavia at the top, Asia and Africa at the bottom, Europe hanging around the comfortable middle with C and D cups. It’s dumb enough that you can’t look away from it.

I’ve examined this map far more thoroughly than necessary. Not because the data means anything—it obviously doesn’t—but because someone bothered to visualize something this pointless, and now it exists in my brain. You see a map of the world and your eyes are drawn to completely the wrong thing.

My actual taste doesn’t follow any geographic pattern. Small breasts, large breasts, whatever—it all depends on the person, and geography has nothing to do with it. Still, the idea of treating this map like a travel guide is weirdly funny. Start in Southeast Asia, work your way up through the rankings, end somewhere in Scandinavia like you’ve completed some kind of strange world tour based entirely on this chart.

The internet’s compulsion to quantify and rank everything is kind of relentless. This map is probably one of the most harmless examples of that impulse, which might be why it stuck around.
