Think a Gallon of Gas is Expensive?

My brother gave me this in an article from the Hometown Journal.

Trying to find something funny in the absurdity of it all.....The price of Gas vs. Printer Ink.
All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are.

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

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!!
$21.10 for WATER (Evian spelled backwards is Naive).

Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?
They have you hooked for the ink. Someone calculated the cost of ink at $5,200 per gallon!

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Niquil or Printer Ink!!

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