For example, Coke costs 3.84 a gallon, while a 16oz Grand Latte from Starbucks checks in at 32 bucks a gallon. And a gallon of nail polish will set you back over a grand (1,024 dollars per gallon).

 

Ok, so maybe most of us (read:none of us) are buying 15 to 20 gallons of nailpolish or lattes at once.

 

Still, something interesting to look at.
