1. I live in WA, with approx population of 7M people
(So, the answer should be less than 7M)

2. I like Ginger Ale

3. Let's estimate that each active adult (from 18 to 65) drinks 2 cans of soda per day (someone doesn't drink soda, someone drinks a lot)

4. Considering normal age distribution it should be about 4M active adults in WA

5. Ginger Ale is not the most popular drink, probably the fourth after Coke,Pepsi and Iced Tea

Considering Coke and Pepsi takes the majority of the market, we can estimate the distribution as following:

Coke: 35%
Pepsi: 35%
Iced Tea: 10%
Ginger Ale: 10%
All Other: 10%

So, the answer is about 10% of 4M = 400K cans per day.

However if you asked this question the interviewer probably just wants to know if you are eligible to work in the US.

So, your answer might be: "I am eligible to work in the US for any employer" or "I am would need visa assistance/sponsorship before I can start"

Suprisingly I am asked this question in slightly different forms once in a while.

The best answer is to answer it by saying that you know about company approved holidays and that everything else would definetly count as part of your vacation.
