Waste of $1000

goldenopulence.jpgIf Jay-Z and Donald Trump’s interior decorator collaborated on an ice cream sundae, here’s what it would look like.

This sin against humanity and hard-working cows is known as the “Golden Opulence Sundae,” costs a grand, and is made (with 48 hours notice) by Serendipity 3 in NYC. Looking at it, I wonder if whoever green-lighted this photo has ever seen a food magazine. General tackiness aside, this picture doesn’t exactly look appetizing. Not to mention that for a grand, I feel like I should be able to climb into my ice cream sundae. Get a foot in there at the very least. This thing looks practically diet-sized.

I can’t imagine who would be stupid enough to pay for this, regardless of the size of their wallet. Interestingly, all the descriptions I’ve read, which presumably draw heavily from S3’s marketing materials, stress the expensiveness of all the ingredients, while making little mention of the deliciousness of the actual sundae. Perhaps I’m a mere plebeian, but caviar on my ice
cream sounds grody.
