I get several restaurant and gourmet market trade magazines. All kinds of statistics are included, and here are a few I have culled...this will probably be a work in progress. I'll update it occasionally. If you have any interesting ones to add, let me know!
From Restaurants and Institutions:
Taco Bell distributes 54 billion sauce packets for tacos and other menu items annually.
The highest grossing McDonalds location is in Moscow's Pushkin Square, with annual sales of $8.4 million.
From The New York Times:
Date of the first published recipe using tomatoes: 1692
Weight of the biggest tomato on record: 7 pounds 12 ounces
Annual per capita comsumption of fresh tomatoes in the US: 19 pounds
