You Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive?
This little list makes one think, and may put
things in perspective:
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 $ 9.52 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 $10.00 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 $10.17 per gallon
Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 $10.32 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 $25.42 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 $33.60 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 $84.48 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 $123.20 per gallon
Vick’s Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 $178.13 per gallon
And this is the REAL KICKER . . .
Evian water 9 oz $1.49 $21.19 per gallon!
$21.19 FOR WATER! . . . and most buyers don’t even
know the source. But then again “EVIAN” spelled
backwards is “Naïve.”
So, the next time you’re at the pump, be glad your
car doesn’t run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or
even worse, PEPTO BISMOL or NYQUIL!!!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your
next trip to the pump . .

LOL! Great perspective!!!
The sad thing is that we can’t live without gasoline for the moment. Thank God we can live without the other things. While I’m doing some thanking, I want to thank you for the kind comments and good advice I always find when you comment on my blogs. Infinite Blessings
Excellent list! Another interesting one would be the price of gas in some other country — where it’s not so heavily subsidized
