Erasing An SSD Hard Drive? Not So Fast...

The (literally) sure fire way to destroy a SSD is to put it in an old truck rubber tire, drop some diesel in and light it up. I assure you not even CSI movies can recover one after that.
Either way, the thought of destroying a marvellous SSD drive makes me cringe.

Try covering it in fox poo; if anyone's willing to try after that, they're welcome to whatever secrets I've left lying around. [It is, to date, the most noxiously vile smelling substance I've encountered in my life - kind of like being punched in the nose with faeces.]

Don't download any programs, just fill the USB with 0's and then re-format it to ext4 or ntfs, whatever.

better yet, don't store anything incriminating on it in the first place!
