JensenPark Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Think a gallon of gas is expensive? This makes one think, and also puts things into perspective. Diet Snapple, 16 oz, $1.29 ... $10.32 per gallon! Lipton Iced 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 a gallon of WATER!! and the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.) Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap? So they can hook you for the ink. Someone calculated the cost of the ink at, you won't believe it but it's true: $5,200 a gal. $5200 A GALLON!!!

Enforcer57 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 The ink price doesn't surprise me. I got my TGB scooter back last week after 2 mos and no less than 7 guys trying to figure out what was wrong with it. I got a new engine (turns out nothing was wrong with the old one), and am spending $15 a week on gas instead of 55..........and going alot more miles. Sheeesh. Not like this wasn't expected for the past 35 yrs. Btw, tonight was the first friday night in the 8 mos the resturant I work evenings in wasn't a total madhouse and packed. I was amazed how slow it was................until I found out oil set a record increase today. Now it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
