Lego
20 billion Lego bricks are produced yearly, Lego was started 1934, and they have been building Lego non stop since then, every single day. There are approximately 5 hundred billion Lego bricks, It is one of the most successful industries in the entire world. It is the toy of the century, but still, not many children out there can tell me what its made of, and what happens to it after its been thrown in the trash.
It is made polyethylene, just like plastic bags, so it will stick around for thousands of years after you die. Why? Because polyethylene is not biodegradable, it will not rot, and it will not be turned into sand through wind erosion. You can't melt it, and it is not recyclable. So now the world is filled with polyethylene products that will stay there forever, polyethylene is so indestructible, it would survive a nuclear war.
