One brand 1.825 billion units sold in a year and in ten years 1.82500 (eighteen billion two hundred fifty million)
1.82500 billion multiplied by 20 (thirty-six billion five hundred million)
We must have come to that point where as, the amount of lighters decomposing (500 years) is equal (roughly) to the number sold annually worldwide
500 years !
