Gas Cash Guzzlers
So you think a gallon of gas is expensive? Perhaps this table will put things in perspective.
$21.19 for WATER?!
And the buyers don't even know the source for that water!
HINT #1: The water source is a 3-letter word that begins with "T" and ends with "A - P"
HINT #2: "Evian" spelled backwards is Naive.
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, or Nyquil.
At least this explains why the guy in the next cube (at work) is always broke: he drives a big ol' pickup - and he runs on Scope, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, and Nyquil (plus - I think he snorts brake fluid, but I'm not sure).
| 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 "Cocktail" - 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 - 15 oz: | $0.99 | = | $ 84.48 per gallon |
| *** And this is the REAL KICKER *** | |||
| Evian water - 9 oz: | $1.49 | = | $ 21.19 per gallon |
