So, It Must Be Nice…

Next time you are in New York and you have a hankering for ice cream, be sure to stop by Serendipity and order their “Grand Opulence Sundae”.

Much like the pizza I talked about in another post, this sundae is covered with edible 24K gold flakes. And that’s really all that makes it special expensive.

Apparently they sell at least one of these sundaes a month…

You scream, I scream (when I get my VISA bill), we all scream for ice cream…

The brilliant marketing brains at Burger King are unveiling “the world’s most expensive cheeseburger” at select U.S. locations next month.

Called the “Wagyu” burger, the patty will be of beef from the same stock as Kobe beef (but will not be imported from Japan).

Topped with foie gras and blue cheese (instead of your run of the mill ketchup and processed cheddar slices) the “Wagyu” will cost a whopping (see how I did that- Whopper/whopping ) $170!

And I am just thinking that if I am going to drop $170 on a meal, would I really do it at BK??

The famous French jeweller, Le Boucheron is celebrating its 150th anniversary by releasing a chocolate-covered gold necklace.

In the shape of a snake, the necklace boasts a 20.08 carat diamond hanging from the extended tongue of the snake.

Is anyone else remembering what it was like to wear those candy necklaces??

After about 2 mins they start to “bleed” their colors all over your neck, I can only imagine what chocolate melting around your neck would be like…

And if you are at a cocktail party and you don’t like the hors d’oeuvres, do you try indiscreetly to lick your collarbone??

A recent Macleans magazine article highlighted a Toronto based pizza joint called Magic Oven that serves up the country’s only pizza with 24k gold flakes.

The gold is odorless and tasteless which makes me question why you would want to spend $108 for a large pizza…

I want to know if it is delivered in an armored car…
