I just found out that it is possible to (if I'm reading this right) buy a $20,000 cup of coffeeAll I'm saying is there better be free refills. For life. That's over half of my income from 2007

Yes, but I wouldn't put it past them. NPR recently had a story about the $1000 bagel and $25,000 chocolate sundae. There had better be some pretty high grade heroin in there to justify those prices.

But check this shit out...the New York (where else?) restuarant that serves this $25K dessert got shut down by the health department.

Looks like they should have spent a little more on bug spray and mousetraps, and a little less on gold in their ice cream...

I had to look that up, and found that the roaches weren't there as vermin. They were there for the bling bling.

But of course! I note that that's a hissing cockroach, which is clearly the most appropriate for a $25,000-per-bowl-of-ice-cream NYC restaurant.

I just ran across another article. I could see how a $25,000 coffee might be too expensive. For the budget-conscious, a more preferable buy might be this $450 beer.
