By this logic, TicTac should be worth more than all car manufacturers combined, since there are more TicTacs in an 1$ pack than I will ever buy cars in my entire life. And I'm sure their margin is much higher, percentage-wise, at least compared to most car manufacturers.

Let's be real here: TikTok is a big social network, yes, but ARM owns most of the embedded market. Every smartphone your average consumer buys runs an ARM chip. And hardware is harder to replace than software.



Car manufacturers make about $2k per car. Do you buy 2k packs of TicTac every 10 years?
