Of Consumer Liquids

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.

If a gallon of gas lasted me as long as a gallon of ANY of the above liquids, I'd be one happy consumer!

Wow! That is an eye opener! I try to buy things like koolaid (without sugar) and Gatorade powders and add my own (tap) water. I mostly do it for the lack of garbage, but it also saves money.

I have seen this before and it is an eye opener but the problem is that we consume way more then a gallon of gas. I highly dought I have consumed a gallon of Nyquil in my entire life.

Crazy when you calculate it all out isn't it!?

Unbelieveable prices. Glad I don't have to purchase
a lot of these items.

I doubt it too... can you imagine what a gallon of the "coughing, sneezy, stuffy head, how the heck did I end up on the kitchen floor" medicine would do to you???

It's amazing what things cost, and yes, glad gas hasn't reached those prices yet (and if they do, I may just make the first car that runs on Liptons!)
