adding gold foil/flake to food is so fucking dumb anyway. It has 0 taste and is just to show off how much money one can waste on something that adds nothing to the food/drink. I don't care if it works out to $0.50 of gold leaf or whatever, it's such a waste for nothing other than flexing some stupid gold food
The worst example is the pizza one. The most expensive pizza is nasty and a huge part of it is being covered in gold leaf. Its clearly gross and the agreeable hosts try to play it off. “Oooh lets bring the rest of this back to the office!!” At the office theres a good black lady making an “alright white people”facial expression after trying the pizza and someone else who couldnt contain their disgust.
That's my biggest problem with it, the ridiculous exploitation and suffering that goes into something that a rich dipshit will take 5 seconds to post on instagram before eating without thinking about it

It's likely closer to 5 cents. It's really thin. You can buy packs of it at arts and crafts stores
Basically all the expensive stuff on that Buzzfeed Worth It show had someone cover the food in gold foil, truffle, and caviar :visible-disgust:
If you light $100 bills on fire when you're eating, the aroma really elevates the meal. The incense of the modern era.

Japanese sewers had a higher gold concentration than some gold mines thanks to all the gold leaf they were ingesting, back in the early '00s.
