The following comparison price checks between a gallon of gasoline and a gallon of various food products (commonly used by most of us) is a unique way of performing a "Reality Check".
I think that you will find it interesting. Albeit a little tongue in cheek, it does cause one to stop and ponder.
As the friend who sent it to me said, "I hope we will always be able to buy gasoline at some price because I don't like walking............"
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 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..................$170.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85..................$123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39........................$ 23.42 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.
So, the next time you're at the pump be glad that your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whitout, or God forbid Pepto Bismol or Nyquil.
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the puimp.......
Have a great day!
Big Hugs
