Gold-Studded Snack Food

Bercos Billion Dollar Popcorn Takes Luxury Edibles to the Next Level

— November 27, 2011 — Luxury
Make it one luxurious Blockbuster night and snuggle up to your honey with a big ol' bucket of Bercos Billion Dollar Popcorn. While you may not have to shell out a billion big ones to get your hands on this sumptuous corn, Bercos Billion Dollar Popcorn will certainly cost you a pretty penny.

Made using ingredients such as organic sugar, butter fresh from a prestigious Vermont creamery, and Nielsen Massey Bourbon Vanilla, Bercos Billion Dollar Popcorn is certainly quality conscious, but why the steep price tag? One quart of this opulent snack with set you back $100 and 6.5 Gallons will cost you $1000. The reason for the seemingly unreasonable price tag is the popcorn is studded with 23K edible gold flakes and seasoned with the world's most expensive salt, Laeso. Laeso salt is derived using a technique that has been practiced for over 1000 years. Production of this salt is limited and procuring the salt can often turn into a bidding battle making the prices hard to predict and potentially astronomical, hence the pricey popcorn.

Sure to delight the taste buds of moneyed foodies everywhere, Bercos Billion Dollar Popcorn is the ultimate low key luxurious snack.
