something funny in the absurdity of it all..... Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump... Trying to find something funny in the absurdity of it all ......................... The price of Gas versus Printer Ink | 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 to other things we buy. | 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.) 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 Printer Ink!? | Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump... |
