Compared with Gasoline......

[Ron/Sharon 0]

All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....

You will be really shocked by the last one!

(At least, I was...)

Compared with Gasoline......

Think a gallon of gas is expensive?

This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective to other things we buy.

Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29............ $10.32 per gallon

Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19.......... $9.52 per gallon

Gatorade 20 oz $1.59................. $10.17 per gallon

Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25............ $10.00 per gallon

Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15.............. $33.60 per gallon

Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35.............. $178.13 per gallon

Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85............. $123.20 per gallon

Whiteout 7 oz $1.39................... $25.42 per gallon

Scope 1.5 oz $0.99.................... $84.48 per gallon

And this is the REAL KICKER...

Evian water 9 oz $1.49..$21.19 per gallon! $21.19 for

WATER and the buyers don't even know the source

(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?

So they have you hooked for the ink. Someone calculated

the cost of the ink at

(you won't believe it....but it is true........)

$5,200 a gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars)

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car

doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God

forbid, Printer Ink!

Excellent point.

You can buy refill kits for most printer cartridges. Much cheaper this way.

Excellent point.

If I drank the same amount of water as gas I use each month, I'd have a full-time job as a pisser.

They pay people to do that??

I could collect a welfare check every 1st and 15th and just tell everyone I get paid to piss.

There's another factor to consider as well. With the exception of "brake fluid," the other items listed aren't quite essential for the majority of people living in the United States. While having a car isn't a necessity, getting around large cities would be a nightmare without one. Most cities have extremely poor public transportation systems and if someone doesn't live downtown or very close to most (or all) of their needs, getting anywhere can be next-to-impossible and/or outrageously expensive. As high-priced as gasoline is, try taking taxi cabs everywhere and see which costs more.

Evian must be the worst tasting bottled water I have ever tasted. I do not know why some one would even buy it!

I tend to think that getting a water filter would be a better option than using bottled water. Sure, the initial price is higher, but the cost over the long-term is far less.

The quality of the tap water in my city is far superior to any bottled water I have tasted, that I prefer it unfiltered from the tap.

That way I don't have any waste to deal with.

Use Laser toner instead of ink. A car never runs on water used for drinking.

Spell "Evian" backwards and you'll have the answer
