While I am happy with a Twix bar, some people have more extravagant tastes, or in this case, much more extravagant. The Wispa Gold chocolate bar is selling at Selfridges auction house in London for $1628.
The Wispa Gold chocolate bar is wrapped in edible gold leaf and encased in a gold wrapper, and will also be given to you by Tony Hadley, a man apparently known for the song ‘Gold.’
This is one extravagant chocolate bar, and perhaps not one to share with those of less discerning tastes like myself, as I clearly won't appreciate it to its full $1628 worth.
