Think a gallon of gas is expensive?

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.

Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?

They have you hooked for the ink!

Someone calculated the cost of the ink:

You won't believe it, but
it is true...

$5,200.00 a gallon!

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on Water, Scope, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or Printer Ink!!!

Someone e-mailed this to me yesterday and I thought y'all might appreciate it. ^.^

It really makes you wonder why each of these things is so expensive compared to an equal amount of the others.

What you do notice though is that each of the products used is given in a usable amount, and the price is for the most part under $5. So is that what determines the price? Or is it just an odd coincidence?
