The Price of Gas versus Printer Ink

May 7, 2008

I’m just trying to find something funny in the absurdity of what is called everyday life.

So you think a gallon of gas is expensive?

Well the following comparisons may lift your spirits a bit at your next trip to the gas station. If not go to Parago Exports and learn how to safe on fuel.

All the following examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; they just illustrate how outrageous some prices are in comparison:

 

• 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
• Scope Mouthwash 1.5 oz   $0.99 ………. $  84.48 per gallon

And here is the REAL KICKER…
Evian water 9 oz $1.49……$21.19 per gallon!  $21.19 for WATER and we, the buyers, don’t even know the source 

(Now mind you: Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

And just one more mindblower:
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 God forbid, Printer Ink!
Have a Great Day!

Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump…
a 5 dollar gas bill
