It is a stretch. Millions of K-Cups are intentionally disposed of daily. I doubt that more than 100 AirPods are disposed of daily, probably closer to 10-20. That will naturally accelerate as they get towards their end of life, but the comparison is ridiculous.

If 10 million airpod units had an average lifespan of 5 years, they would be disposed at a rate of 5480/day.
There’s no question that K-cups are a bigger ecological problem, though.
