sticker shock

[3mnkids1]

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.




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



< BR>
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!!!!!

:smt006 That is true 3mnkids, but the problem with that is that you don't use gallons of Pepto Bismol, White-out or Scope everyday or in a lifetime for most people.
I will still grumble as gas is up to $3.29 a gallon here! If a gallon of gas lasted as long as a bottle of White-out I wouldn't grumble!

Our gas here in Souther Missouri was $2.87 yesterday. Looks like it will be another hot and weary summer for travelers.

Thanks for the comparisions that was neat.

If you were married to my husband, you too would use Pepto by the gallon! :smt005

Thanks for making me feel better. :smt017 :smt002

This is SO true. It's the same deal with the Senseo coffee makers. They practically give them away, then you have to buy their expensive little coffee pods to use it.
