I had this emailed to me, and though it was pretty good....

Think a gallon of gas is expensive?
This makes you think, and also puts things in perspective.

Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ............... $9.52 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 ................ $10.00 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ..................... $10.17 per gallon
Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ................ $10.32 per gallon
Evian water 9oz $1.49..................... $21.19 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ....................... $25.42 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 ................... $33.60 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 ........................ $84.48 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 ................. $123.20 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 ................. $178.13 per gallon

The one that gets me is the Evian water!!

Thats really interesting. I thought mouthwash (Scope) was a lot cheaper. With gas prices around the $2 mark, these prices are outraegous for what you actually get.

Publix Deli Ice tea (1 gallon) $2.19

Who the hell buys a 9 ounce bottle of water?

If one had to buy gas in 9oz containers, then it would probably cost much more. For many of the stuff quoted in the OP, it IS possible to buy them in large drums, with the cost per oz cut to less than 10% of retail.
