My father forwards things from the Internet, most times I read them, but sometimes I don't. Often he'll ask me, "what did you think of that article or those pictures?" and I don't want to hurt his feelings by telling him I didn't bother to look at it so....
Anyway, dad just sent me a price list of items we often use comparing them to the price of gasoline. Last night at the gas station we left with our wallet $30.00 lighter and just a little over 8 gallons of gas. Price per gallon $3.64.
On that sad note here's what my father sent me:
Lipton ice tea 16 oz bottle 1.19......$9.52 per gallon
I found this picture of red tea. We don't have it around here but it looks yummy.
Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail 16 oz bottle $1.25.....$10.00 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz bottle $1.59.....$10.17 per gallon
Snapple 16 oz bottle $1.29....$10.32 per gallon
Evian 9 oz bottle $1.49...$21.19 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz bottle $1.59.....$10.17 per gallon
Snapple 16 oz bottle $1.29....$10.32 per gallon
Evian 9 oz bottle $1.49...$21.19 per gallon
Evian is naive spelled backwards.
White Out, 7 oz bottle $1.39....$25.42 per gallon Brake fluid 12 oz bottle $3.15...$33.60 per gallon
Scope mouthwash 1.5 oz sample size .99.....$84.48 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz bottle $3.85....$123.20 per gallon
Nyquil 6 oz bottle $8.35...$178.13 per gallon
Scope mouthwash 1.5 oz sample size .99.....$84.48 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz bottle $3.85....$123.20 per gallon
Nyquil 6 oz bottle $8.35...$178.13 per gallon
I hate this stuff, I always feel sicker after I drink it.
Finally coming in at a whopping $22.00 per oz is... HP printer ink
That's more than one ounce of imported
Russian caviar and prices out to $2,816 per gallon!
Now I'm sure that this didn't make you feel any better about the price of gas but I guess we can be thankful that our cars don't run on any of this stuff.
Wow, how do the guys at HP sleep at night charging that kind of money??
ReplyDeleteAmusing comparison. If oil prices stay over $110/barrel, it's not hard to imagine $5/gallon gas by Christmas is it?
