Putting it in perspective.....

[Glenn and Lorraine]

What if you were to buy a gallon of . . .

1. - Diet Snapple 16 oz for $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon
2. - Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz for $1.19 = $9.52 per gallon
3. - Gatorade 20 oz for $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon
4. - Ocean Spray 16 oz for $1.25 = $10.00 per gallon
5. - Quart of Milk 16 oz for $1.59 = $6.32 per gallon
6. - Evian (water) 9 oz for $1.49 = $21.19 per gallon
7. - STP Brake Fluid 12 oz for $3.15 = $33.60 per gallon
8. - Vicks Nyquil 6 oz for $8.35 = $178.13 per gallon
9. - Pepto Bismol 4 oz for $3.85 = $123.20 per gallon
10. - Whiteout 7 oz for $1.39 = $254.17 per gallon
11. - Scope 1.5 oz for $0.99 = $84.84 per gallon

So next time you’re at the pump, be glad your car doesn’t run on Nyquil or Scope or Whiteout!

I posted this about 6 months ago and you wouldn't believe how many smart A-- comments were made. It apperared that it went over a lot of folks head and they couldn't see the humor or irony of it. Be ready for the backlash, it made me wish I had never put in on the forum.

Jim, Backlash?? I thrive on it. It would not be the first and I doubt the last time someone disagreed or misunderstood my intentions.

If they don't understand the humor or the irony of my post than so be it.

Back when gas was $1.50 and milk was over $3.00/gal. I remarked that at least I was glad our cars didn't run on milk... Stupid comment that I still remember...

Anyone remember the turbine engined car GM was working on (as I recall it was a corvair body demonstrated around the country) -- was supposed to run on just about anything that had alcohol. Yupp -- that $200 per gallon whiteout would do well in it I'm sure!!

I think I seen somewhere that using the ink from printers it would be over a $1,000.00 per gal. That may have been posted on one of the previous threads. At least it's somewhat consoling but gas is still way too high!

Think that was a Chrysler product.
