"Econ 101"

*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 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!
Just a
little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the
pump...
And - If you don't pass this along to at least one
person,
your muffler will fall off!!
Okay, your muffler
won't really fall off...but, you might run out of
toilet
