Life With Boys

From an enewletter I get … THE PRICE OF GAS VERSUS PRINTER INK

All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; they just illustrate how high some prices are …. Puts prices 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.)

Someone calculated the cost of printers’ ink at $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, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil — or, God forbid, Printer Ink!
