actually, no. We use the "stick it in your ear" kind.

Love those things. Indispensable for little ones.

One lightbulb contains that much. How much does a household contain?

The point here is not really about 'how much', but why even bring it into your house to begin with??

I am aware this is a very unpopular opinion.
