the price of gas versus printer ink

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.

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 a gallon for WATER and the buyers don't even know the source

Evian spelled backwards is Naive.

(does that give you a clue about buying water!!!)

So....
Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?


So they have you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at ....
$5,200 a gal.

(Five thousand two hundred dollars a gallon!!!)

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 God forbid, Printer Ink!

Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...
