Several commenters on Jalopnik’s OP are calling BS on the $100,000 worth of duct tape, and I agree:
The most common length of a roll of duct tape is 54m (60 yards), 180 feet. 25,001 rolls would be 4,500,180 feet or, 850 miles of duct tape.
I’m calling bullshit.
Going to say the same thing. 25 thousand rolls of duct tape is BS. Even 10K rolls is BS. I cannot imagine the time it would take to unroll 10K rolls…At best, 3 mins per roll, so 30000 mins, or 20 days going at 24/7 for just 10K.
Agreed. I figure if the number means anything it is most likely the total length of duct tape in feet. 25,000 feet would be around 150 rolls, which is much much more feasible.
