Purely hypothetical question… Would you buy a 14,500 dollar dessert?

Question

… Say you’re vacationing in some foreign land, in some nameless resort, and a guy comes up to you, and says, “Hey, you see that weird-looking thing in that case over there? It’s edible.” You briefly wonder how it’s edible, as you just recently looked at the thing this guy is referring to, and saw stones on it. Pretty stones, but stones, nonetheless.

You have no time to continue your pondering, as the man goes on. “Yeah, it’s edible, but… pricey.” When he doesn’t elaborate, you ask him exactly what he means by ‘pricey’. He laughs a little, and says pleasantly, “Oh, it’s only about 14,500 dollars.” Which makes you wonder, would you by that?

Again, absolutely hypothetical situation. Oh! And in this hypothetical situation, you’re rich beyond your wildest dreams. Hypothetical situations are just like that, I guess...

BlueSea… Do you… not understand in what way I am using the word hypothetical? Or… why I asked this question in the first place? Do you think that I have not heard of the stories, and that I randomly asked myself, “Who would buy a 14,500 dollar dessert?” Because I am never that specific with questions I’ve just made up off the top of my head.

Answer 1

I wouldn't buy it with somebody ELSE'S money!
.

Answer 2

If a person is "rich beyond your wildest dreams", then $14,500 for dessert would be no different than you or I getting a candy bar from the vending machine. So, considering that I'm always curious, yeah, I'd probably have to try it, just to see WHY it was that expensive.

Answer 3

if i was insanely wealthy i would try it. heck the government spends $25,000 on a hammer, several millions on the research on the (you pick the topic) every year so why would one feel guilty if they had a boatload of money to blow on something that they will normally put down a toilet a few hours later. this is just all hypothetical of course, but in a true sense
i would hope that the individual that partakes of such a "pricey" dessert chokes to death and in his or hers' last dying visions are the faces of those less fortunate that would have eaten the scrapes off the main entree.

Answer 4

It has now not something to do with the extra effective. an outstanding chum of mine has a Triple nipple, the do now not look or functionality like all different 2. they are tiny, they appear as if a mole with an areola. quicker or later interior the form of a human fetus all of us have 6. 4 are reabsorbed via the physique whilst 2 proceed to advance...as quickly as in awhile between the 4 would not reabsorb, in spite of the indisputable fact that it would not proceed to advance.

Answer 5

I still don't think I would eat it or buy it. I don't like taking the time to eat, it wasting my life away. I rather just grab something eat it up and get on with having fun.

Answer 6

No,I wouldn't pay that much for a dessert,I would much rather have an ice cream cone or a hot fudge sundae.

Answer 7

If by 'stones' you mean pretty, sparkly, clear stones...and money was no object,....maybe...on the other hand...if he also added that it was to benefit a childrens cherity of some sort...then YES...I would buy it...and feed it to the kids.

Answer 9

No effin' way. That could feed so many people! If I ate that dessert, I think my guilt would eat me in return!
