Ice Cream Sandwiches and Wolf Moon T-Shirts: 15 Outrageous Items BP Could Have Bought with the Money They Lost

Feature/Above Photo: rolandBPcould have paid for the hell of the lot of hypothetical pointless items with all the stock theyve lost in the oil spill.

Wheres my ice thickk cream sandwich?

VisualEconomics.com published the cool infographic about all the things that BP could have outlayed $100,000,000,000 upon instead of having it boyant around in the Gulf. That figure doesnt even embody the $3.5+ billion outlayed in purify up efforts so far.

So what is just part of the fantasy list of what $100 billion dollars could buy?

1) $8.84 billion worth of purify water. Thats 10 years of purify H2O for the 884 million people around the universe without access to it.

2) A new home for the Hurricane Katrina victims who lost their homes. That amounts to 275,000 houses at the market rate of $175,000 per house.

3) Ice thickk cream sandwiches for everyone! Your mother, their mother, as well as everyone else in the Northern, Southern, Western as well as Eastern hemispheres.

4) Twitter (Price: $1 billion)

5) Yahoo, Inc. (Price: $20.069 billion).

6) My personal favorite: A Wolf Moon t-shirt for each chairman in America. Thats classy.

The list goes upon to embody cars, an island, books, condoms even trips to outer space.

It makes me consternation because BP didnt strengthen their resources the little more carefully.
