This makes one think, and also puts things into perspective:
* 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 a REAL KICKER...
* Evian water, 9 oz, $1.49 .. $21.19 per gallon! That's $21.19 for a gallon of WATER!! And buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
LAST, (but not least):
Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap? So they can rip you off for the ink refill cartridges!!? Someone calculated the cost of a gallon of ink in all those refills at.
$5,200 a gallon .
That's right...$5,200 A GALLON.
So, the next time you're at a fuel pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or, (God forbid), Printer Ink.
