I frequently watch The History Channel and am often confounded
by their inaccuracies and out-right spurious claims.
On Modern Marvels today ( re-run) they claimed that more steel in
the U.S. is used to make bottle caps than for automobiles.

Appearing to be an obvious mistake, I estimated the amount of
sheet steel in the the body (only), of an average automobile to be
125 sq ft. and the area of a bottle cap to be 1.544 sq in.
This amounts to 94 bottle caps per sq ft. or approx 12,000 per car
Auto production in the U.S in 2000 was approx 3.37 million.
This amounts to 400 trillion caps per year, or about 4 million caps
per house hold per year.
Even if my estimate of sheet steel use was double the actual number, the bottle cap total is still beyond belief.
Does anyone have any contributing information and or a thought
on this. and would you think that if I posed more of these claims
that it would be a good subject matter to routinely place on this site
