Comparing Prices to 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.)

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or God forbid Pepto Bismol or Nyquil. Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump.

It helps that we don't use those products as much as we use gas.

Evian water comes from natural springs in Évian-les-Bains, France, long thought to bring miraculously improved health to the drinker and has been prescribed by physicians for such for upwards of 200 years. Just a tidbit to log away and make you the life of the party at the next social gathering. :)

That's what they want you think about Evain. What's sad about gas is that we now think 2.50 a gallon is cheap and a year ago that was expensive. Yesterday I paid 3.34 a gallon, it kills me.
