If you think gas is expensive




This makes one think and also puts things in perspective


Diet Snapple 16 oz. $ 1.29 $12.90 a gallon




Lipton Iced Tea 16 oz. $1.19 $11.90 a gallon



Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 $12.72 a gallon



Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 $12.50 a gallon



Brake fluid 12 oz $3.15 $41.99 a gallon



Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 $222.67 a gallon



Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 $154.00 a gallon



White Out 7 oz $1.39 $31.77 a gallon



Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 $105.60 a gallon

And now for the REAL KICKER



Evian Water 9 oz $1.49 $26.49 a gallon

$26.49 a gallon for WATER

And the buyer doesn'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 ink at....................

You wont believe it .

But it's true .

$5200.00 a gallon ( that is fifty two hundred )

So..... the next time you are at the pump ........

Be glad that your car doesn't run on ,Water , Scope , White Out ,

Pepto Bismol , Nyquil , or printers ink.

Actually Crystal Geyser water runs a dollar per gallon. Let's hope water is the next Fuel source.

[Layon07]

[TBITB]

i think i'll stick with reg... at least while im baller level 1!

[bwood87]

How often and how much do you use any of those things, compared to gas?

[TBITB]

fair point... water nearly as often as gas - everything else, hardly. but the perspective is interesting nonetheless

The last thing that I needed was a guilt trip about the amount of money I have to pay for gas.

[JRBRUIN7@aol.com]

At least its not just one person, we are all suffering, it should not cost $40 to fill up a tC, near me gas is $3.41 for regular right now.

[TBITB]

[Soulbane]

I'm in SoCal

$3.67 for regular gas.

It is teh ghey

[navylife59]

[budoleg]

[TBITB]

lol that's funny

Im sure if you bought anyone of those products by the gallon ( if it was possible to even by one of them by the gallon) it would be so much cheaper! look arizona green tea is $1.10 for a 20 oz can but yet a gallon of it is 2.99...your figures are way off. Its basic economics and your basically going to be buying the product at whole if you buy a gallon or more. I dont just pump a gal of gas when I get gas, its usually around 5-8 gals. Now imagine buying 10 gals of green tea straight from Arizona Tea Co., it would be like $6 prolly. Just took 2 seconds to pull up some figures from a wholesale website, they've got 480oz of Arizona Tea @ 75 cents a can. Thats 35 Cents less than buying just a single can. $18 for 24 cans!

480 fl.oz. (US) = 3.75000 gallons !!! so almost 4 gallons for $18...$4.80 a gallon.. pretty darn close to what our gas prices look like in some places. Sorry I just had to put this out there, and to think of how many times I failed math. lol
