Higher than Gasoline

[barbiedoll1973_tn]

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!



Compared with Gasoline......


Think a gallon of gas is expensive?





This makes one think, and also puts things in 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 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!


Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...

And - If you don't pass this along to at least one person,
your muffler will fall off!!

Okay, your muffler won't really fall off...but, you might run out of toilet paper

Oh, I love that one. I guess it doesn't compare in the sense of cost per gallon but in terms of how long it lasts, gas prices sure seem higher.

As much as I appreciate the humour, it doesn't make sense! We don't use white out and printer ink in the same volume as we use gas-although the water is debatable. It's nice to try and lighten the load, but I think my brain is too literal :P

[spiderpig]

lol, I definitely adore the comparisons on printer ink. We may not use as much on average, but its still a good way to realize that many things we use are expensive and if we used gas in the same moderation we used printer ink we'd never feel the pinch.

That is very scary. So what is regular snapple priced at? And the deal with the naive I could have so seen that one coming an mile head (mile walking of course since driving a mile is useless when the prices are this bad).

I found this linky with printer ink for $129 dollars a gallon...
That is a savings of $5071.00, you can buy a lot of gas with that...

I certainly agree with the point about the printer inks. By the time you are through with the set that comes in the box, you might as well buy a new printer to get more ink.

It depends on how much you use these things, there are people who use a lot of printer ink based on their business.

Barbie... good job, it helps to look at things from a different angle
