Imagine if they were dumped into the ocean how good of a headline that would be.
"The drugs were dumped into the ocean. The ocean, weighing 4.9x10E21 pounds, according to Google, means we just stopped 4.9x10E21 (plus a few) pounds of drugs from reaching the public. As we all know, this is the official standard measurement procedure used by police in the US.
Cocaine has a street price estimate of $120 per gram on average according to Google. Because of how averages and math work (no source needed), we can just double that to $240 per gram to get the highest price out of the average.
To convert grams to pounds, we just multiply by 453.59237. This means 1 pound of cocaine costs $108,862.17.
4.9x10E21 pounds, multiplied by $108,862.17 per pound means we just stopped $533,424,633,000,000,000,000,000,000 worth of cocaine from going to the general public. This is the low estimate, because it does not even include the weight and price of the original drugs or the shipping container it was in. We truly are godly and just heroes on this day."
