The $1000 Golden Opulence - The Most Expensive Dessert

The Golden Opulence is a sundae that is served by special order at the New York City restaurant Serendipity 3. In 2007 it was listed in Guinness World Records as the most expensive sundae in the world at a price of $1,000.

The restaurant has stated that they sell approximately one per month. A notice 48 hours in advance is needed when requesting the Sundae, since ingredients must be flown in from different parts of the world.

Ya know, my grandfather-in-law bought a bottle of Dom Perignon for his 50th wedding anniversary. He paid almost a full one thousand dollars for the bottle. When he was done I later asked him how it was. He licked his lips and thought about it, then replied "Well, you know, frankly I couldn't really tell. It tasted a lot like the eleven dollar bottle we get from Wal-Mart." I'm not sure, but I think there is a lesson to be learned here.
