Seven Viagra tablets are sold every second.
In 1998, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer set out to cure Angina Pectoris, or spasms of the heart’s coronary arteries, in plain English.
In order to do this, they developed a pill named UK92480.
However, UK92480 failed at its desired effect rather terribly, but the secondary effect of their little blue pill was certainly arousing, pun intended.
That pill went on to become one of the world’s biggest-selling drugs, Viagra.
In fact, it is estimated that seven Viagra tablets are sold worldwide every second – that’s 604,800 a day!
