The Great Aero Scam ??

[martin56]

I was just tucking into an Aero bar @ lunch break when a really cynical thought entered my head (not like me to do cynical - MUCH !!)
Are Nestle' ripping us all off by passing 1/2 a bar of chocolate as a full un' cos' half of it is only bubbles ??
Anyone else think the same or is it just me ??
Waggon Wheels are also a Ripoff these days.

Any more budding Vic' Meldrews out there ??

Oh mate the list is endless. Like you i'm a tight arse Yorkshireman and do nothing but moan (so the wife says)
Packets of crisps have gone bloody massive but then i begrudge paying good money for what is effectivly about one potato.

Mars bars have shrunk, but then i don't like them anyway as i reckon they are sweeter than they used to be.

I like marathons, but refuse to call them snickers.

As for waggon wheels when i was a kid it took two of us to carry one out of the goody shop.

2 Words....................CAR INSURANCE ............................... Rip off of the century!!!! You can potentialy pay out 20 grand in your life time for half a packet of A4 paper!!!!! It`s not like if you go ten years they give you one for free and what do you get for your money exactly? "Sorry that was not covered under your policy sir" or "well due to your claim your premium will now double for next year" (* even though its your 1st crash in 20 years of us getting cash for free*)

Twisted system!!!!!

Compared with Petrol......

Think a gallon of petrol is expensive?

This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.

Diet Apple Juice 16 oz £1.29 ........... £10.32 per gallon.

Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz £1.19 ........... £9.52 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.

Tippex (White out)7 oz £1.39 .......................... £5.42 per gallon.

And this is the REAL KICKER.

Evian water 9 oz £1.49 ……….. £21.19 per gallon.
£21.19 for WATER and the buyers don’t even know the source.

(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

You don’t even want to compare it with perfume or after shave.

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 per gal ... (five thousand two hundred pounds)

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!

Just a little humour to help ease the pain of your next trip to the petrol pump.
