ppl are gullible enough to buy anything someone is selling.

Yup. The sundae had gold leafs and some sort of extremely rare chocolate. I might have tried it. If I could afford it.

The pizza on the other hand, was only expensive because it had tons of caviar on it. Call me a cheap date, but I prefer black olives or cherry tomatoes on my pizza to caviar.

I mean when you consider that Sakai dinner in Australia for instance which is a full course meal with wine pairing, to eat those 1000 dollar food items is ludicrous.

I saw both those items you mentioned on video....ridiculous. Sure they probably taste good, but worth it? A difficult argument to make.

Good point.

Besides, you probably have to order something else after the pizza. I don't know if it's that good or is it just because it's rare and they make people think it's good. It's like that coffee Kopi Luwak that comes from an animal's poop. It sells for $500~$600 a pound, but is it that good or is it just a way to make yourself important because you can afford a $50 cup of coffee. =T

Seriously. I have some rare sand to sell. I got it from the local beach.

I heard if you pick up the rat like poop in the forest, it's free...althought the breath mints are not.
