The debate over whether there are more doors or wheels in the world is igniting the internet. #teamwheels
Ryan Nixon, New Zealand’s rugby league manager, tweeted the following on March 5, 2017.
Although it seems like a simple question to answer, the Internet has been split in two by the answer. It’s either #teamdoors or #teamwheels. Since Bella couldn’t decide between Edward or Jake, we haven’t seen opposing forces divide us so much.
Automakers are among the companies that put in their two cents.
UPS went as far as to count every door and wheel in its fleet of delivery vehicles and planes. The winning wheels were: 768,000 to 510,000.
The report from NBC shows that the Internet favors wheels over doors. According to Twitter, #teamwheels has 109 million views and #teamwheel has 17.6 million views respectively, while #teamdoors only has 48.4 million views and #teamdoor has 35.9 million.
I was Team Wheels at first, but James Corden’s stop-motion video to debate the question with his audience made me realize that although every car has four wheels and 2-4 doors, each car also has 4 wheels. This reduces the advantages for wheels.
This unanswerable question may also change depending on the way you define a door and a wheel. Is wheel-shaped pasta considered a wheel? Kitchen cabinet doors are considered to be doors. Lego wheels might be the clincher. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the LEGO brick company is world’s largest tire manufacturer with 381 million tires annually.
We car lovers don’t want filthy doors to win. We are passionate about wheels and will defend them until the end. We agree with the original questioner: Ryan Nixon has #TeamWheels on his Twitter bio.
