Number of Lego pieces created every minute: 36,000
Pieces in the largest Lego set: 11,695
Trivia: When it comes to tires, we tend to think of brands such as Bridgestone and Goodyear. But those companies technically produce far fewer tires than the world’s leading manufacturer, Lego. The toy company produces around 306 million tiny tires a year, and while they may not be road-ready, they’re still 100% rubber. At the height of production in 2010, the total amount of rubber used in Lego tires was roughly equivalent to 1.9 million full-sized tires in that year alone. Lego first introduced tires in 1962, and the pieces have since become an integral component of many Lego sets, to the point that there are now more than 100 different variations of tires and treads available for purchase. The smallest Lego tire is a mere 14.4 millimeters high, while the largest tire is 10.7 centimeters, found on the Power Puller set introduced in 2000.
