Last night I posted some info regarding gas prices. Well, I thought I would share this. Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...

Trying to find something funny in the absurdity of it all!

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......

This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective to other things we
buy.

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.)

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!

I worked out that insulin costs $278.84 per fluid ounce, if you're curious as to how much that is per gallon....there are 128 fluid ounces in one gallon.

Wait for it...

That's $35,691.52 per gallon of insulin.

OMG! And to think about how much insulin we all go through here, that is just unreal! Imagine the cost of just one of us for a life time??? In that aspect, I'm grateful for insurance, that's for sure.

Holy sheeot :eek: Someone needs to take that and show it to the dog lady in the park on that other post. That would shut her her up!
