LEGO Fun Facts: By Zathan Z

According to an article in BusinessWeek in 2006, LEGO could be considered the world's Number 1 tire manufacturer because the factory produces about 306 million tiny rubber tires a year.” That is a small tire but a really big number!
            More than 400 billion LEGO bricks have been produced since 1949.  If all of them were stacked on top of each other this would be enough to connect the Earth and the Moon ten times over. Children in Brazil have built the tallest LEGO tower in the world. With some help from their parents and a crane, these children built a LEGO tower which consisted of 500,000 which is a lot of pieces of LEGO and it is 102ft tall. It just beat the old record of 101ft set in Chile November.
                In 1934 the company and its products now take on the name LEGO, which is formed from the Danish words” leggodt” (play well).LEGO’s are fun and they come in all sorts of genres like aliens, space, miners, movie themes, city life, and a lot more! So no matter what, any child will enjoy any LEGO set depending on what they like!
