Price of gas...

You Think A Gallon Of Gasoline Is Expensive?

This will put things in perspective (well maybe not):

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

This is the REAL KICKER...

Evian "water" 9 oz for $1.49 — $21.19 per gallon.

$21.19 FOR WATER! ....and the buyers don't even know the source. But then again EVIAN spelled backwards is naïve. So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, Whiteout, or God forbid, PEPTO BISMOL or NYQUIL!!


Long time no hear from. Hope all is well.

Funny stuff Bubba!


A few years ago, I think it was about two big oil price fluctuations back, gas was down to under a dollar per gallon. One of our salesman went out to try to make a sale at an oil company. He was talking to one of the officers of the company and the guy told him that he was quitting the oil business because you could make more money selling bottled tap water than gasoline and gasoline is a lot harder to get.

The last time I looked the source of Sparklets water was the Houston municipal water system. They used to bottle it next door to my friends parents house. they had some big filters on the back of a converted house where they put it into bottles. :nuts:
