The $25,000 Dessert

How does $25,000 sound for a chocolate sundae? At New York's Serendipity 3, you can get one made with 28 types of cocoa- including 14 really expensive ones.

It's infused with 5 grams of edible 23-karat gold, by the way- and the whipped cream is sprinkled with more gold. That bit sounds kinda gross. One of the other toppings is Knipschildt Chocolatier's La Madeline au Truffle , which goes for $2,600 per pound.

You gotta order this one in advance, should you be willing to pay that. This price is nuts. :bang:

Well, you've got that liquor with gold flakes in it, that's not too weird.

This is the new after-dinner treat of rich retards.

It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home.

Well, I hope so.

That's $25,000. They don't put bourbon in it or nothing?

Last semester, I did a presentation on the ice cream sundae, and I showed the $1,000 sundae to the class! I can't believe that someone topped that. This is like Dave Chappelle's joke about being baller and sprinkling his food with diamonds and his dookie comes out shiny.

Does it come with roaches and rat droppings too?

Been to this place before, had something called the Chocolate Boardwalk. It's a layer of chocolate cake at the bottom of an ice cream dish with 5 scoops of various chocolate flavored ice cream, topped with hot fudge, etc. It was like 10 years ago though, I don't remember how much it cost.

They were also shut down recently for failing just about every health code known to man. They just opened up again yesterday after they cleaned up their act.

I wonder if it tastes like shit.

That's a pretty fucking good sundae. I don't know if it's worth $25,000 but it's pretty fucking good.

That's right poor people, this gold doesn't taste like anything or add to the dish in any way, but I'm gonna' eat it. It could probably feed some family for a few years, but that shit's not even a little bit baller.

I think David Cross has a bit about this.

If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to buy $50,000 worth of gold and put a kitkat on top of it just so I can get the world record.

Yeah but I think it would need to actually be edible to count.

I was sort of paraphrasing it. It's been a long time since I heard it.

I went there too with the ex for anniversary or bday (forgot what it was for but special occassion). I got frozen hot chocolate and some frozen strawberry drink. The food and beverage was overpriced as hell. The food wasnt even that good. I should of spent that money on fast food or something

Goldschlager, a rather hot & spicy 80 proof cinnamon schnapps. Surprisingly it's just $23 for 750 mL.

Just how much gold is in that liquor? About a tenth of a gram.

I think the important question is, does it make your poop sparkle?

I'd order this, then when it was brought to me trip the waiter and watch the laughs ensue.

From me.

Restaurant got closed down because they failed their second checkup in 6 months.
Rat droppings everywhere, dead mice and cockroaches in the kitchen.

Talk about special ingredients.

White people.

Just to think, some of the chocolate sprinkles may not really have been what they seemed to be. :yuck:

£35,000 cocktail in London. That's seventy grand to you.

Is this thing served in the vagina of the reigning Playboy Playmate of the year? I don't understand.

Sucker. I'll just take some frosting and write "Super Mega Dessert" on top of a Hershy bar and sell it for $51,000.

I might not get the record for selling the most expensive dessert, but I just want the record having the most expensive dessert available for sale. :D

Others treated news of the drink as further evidence of the spending power and irresponsibility of the super-rich. "It's like sticking two fingers up at the rest of society," said the Labour MP Sion Simon. "You might as well set fire to your money in front of those less well-off. It's a very deliberate way of saying 'We are not part of the same country as you.'"

The drink will appeal to "the stupid segment of the super-rich", said the social commentator Peter York. "It is so gauche, so crashingly crass, that everyone else will see the buyers as barely literate, as one step up from a potato.

"It will be one of those things that unite both the middle class and the old rich in a belief that the super-rich come out of some kind of primeval ooze.

"Nor did the cocktail appeal to others in the drinks industry. "It sounds pretty revolting and most people I know wouldn't spend as much as £2.50 on it," said Tim Martin, chairman of the JD Wetherspoon pub chain. "They'd be better off with a pint of Abbot Ale."

Yeah, that about sums it up. And that last quote too echoed what I thought, cognac and wine mixed together? Sounds like it'll taste like ass

Shit! 99.825% of the cost is likely that 11 carat diamond ring. I dunno about mixing cognac with wine, either.

I'll just put a diamond ring like that in a Cracker Jack box in lieu of the "Toy Surprise" and sell it for $75,000. :lol:

That drink is really just a (particularly well designed) ploy to get guys blown.

"Hey princess, look, I'm spending $75,000 on this drink for you."
*gulp*glug*gulp*
"OMG that drink was SO awesome and SO expensive and I'm totally feeling it like WOW!"
"Why don't you take a look in the bottom of the glass?"
"ZOMG A RING!"
*slurp*slurp*gulp*
