38 Obscenely Overpriced Edibles

From $5,000 Hamburgers to $300,000 Wine

— June 7, 2012 — Lifestyle
In the world of ultra luxury, there's no such thing as over-the-top, and these obscenely overpriced edibles show just how expensive dinner and drinks can be. Whether diamond encrusted or with a golden finishing, these fantastically priced food finds are definitely extravagant.

Though wines can be rightfully expensive when given a unique history and cultivation, many products are obscenely priced and overdone for the sake of being so. Sure to grab attention, however, these finds are the ultimate in food and drink. Only a person with an obscene amount of money could spend so much on something as temporary as a cupcake, making it clear that these products are arguably more about social power than they are about quality or taste.

Beyond excessive but endlessly intriguing, these indulgent examples of food and drink are the ultimate in lavishness.
