So You Think Petrol Is Expensive?

All these examples do NOT imply that petrol is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are. You will be really shocked by the last one (at least, I was)!!!

Think a litre of petrol is expensive? This makes you think, and also puts things into perspective.

Can of Red Bull, 250ml, $2.95 ... $11.80 per litre!

Robitussin Cough Mixture, 200ml, $9.95 ..... $49.75 per litre!

L'Oreal Revitalift Day Cream, 50ml, $29.95 ... $599.00 per litre!

Bundy Rum, 1250ml, $51.00 .... $40.80 per litre!

Visene Eye Drops, 15ml, $5.69 ... $379.00 per litre!

Britney Spears Fantasy Perfume, 50ml, $29 .. $580.00 per litre!

And this is the REAL KICKER.

Evian water, 375ml, $2.95 ...$7.86 per litre!
$7.86 for a litre of WATER!! And the buyers don't even know the source
(Evian spelled backwards is NAIVE!!)

Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap?
So they can hook you for the ink!! Someone calculated the cost of the ink at, you won't believe it but it's true; $1,040 a litre.
$1040.00 A LITRE!!!

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Red Bull, Robitussin, L'Oreal or, God forbid, Printer Ink!!!!!
