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!

I know for a fact, that you can find 32oz gatorade for around a dollar.

You need to wait for them to be on sale. Too bad gas doesn't go on sale...nor are there gas coupons...like buy 8 gallons get one free.

I paid $265 for a gallon of Chrysler PR4 paint and the matching clearcoat. At least my truck doesn't run on paint.

I can live without any of those things in the list. They are all luxuries. I wonder what the price of a gallon of TAP water is? Sadly, I can't do without gasoline, neither can most other people.

what is with making stupid comparisons with gas? NOT one of those items is needed. Last time i checked Gas is a necessity (grr public transportation needs to get better) to survive.

Public (tap) water ranges from $2 to $6 per thousand gallons used. Even if it was $10 per thousand, that would still only come out at a penny per gallon. :D

that is not accurate because it is going by the high prices of buying in small quantity. you can make your own tea for a whopping 30 cents a gallon, and you can probably get a gallon of mouthwash for $10, no idiot is going to buy a gallon worth of travel size mouthwash, only a moron is amazed by these figures.
