So you think petrol is expensive
« on: June 17, 2008, 02:36:40 PM »
Well try these comparisons:

Tippex 7 oz £1.39 ....... . £5.42 per gallon

Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz bottle £1.19 ...........£9.52 per gallon

Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice 16 oz bottle £1.25 ......... £10.00 per gallon

Brake Fluid 12 oz can £3.15 ...... £33.60 per gallon

Vick's Nyquil 6 oz E8.35 ... £178.13 per gallon

Pepto Bismol 4 oz £3.85 ... £123.20 per gallon

Evian water 9 oz £1.49 ... £21.19 per gallon!
By the way ever noticed that Evian spelled backwards is Naive?

And have you 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.

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, or Tippex, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink! Hope that eases the pain of your next trip to the petrol pump... And - If it doesn't make you smile your exhaust will fall off!!











Okay, your exhaust won't really fall off....but you might run out of toilet paper    lol:

Don't think I buy any of those products by the gallon though.




Not long now and this will be the norm and not just one greedy bastard.
