For 30 years, Dubai Duty Free has tasted tang of success | The National:

"The sales figures for Dubai Duty Free, the biggest airport retailer in the world, are impressive.

But it is not the monetary amounts that are most staggering. It is the sheer volume and variety of the items it sells.

On average, something is rung through the tills every two seconds, adding up to about 74 million products a year.

In terms of weight, the powdered fruit drink Tang tops the list with 1,471.46 tonnes sold last year, or about 5.8 million individual servings.

This is closely followed by nuts, of which 1,037.24 tonnes were sold last year."
