When you go out to get a sundae, make sure it’s the MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE WORLD!!!
While the ice cream may be smooth and delicious, it was actually the absurdly expensive sundaes that caught our attention.
If you happen upon the new Oxbow Public Market in Napa, you may came across a little organic scoop shop from Three Twins Ice Cream.
I asked the gal behind the counter if they’ve ever served an expensive sundae, and she said not yet, but she was sure it was bound to happen someday. The sundae costs $3,333.33 and consists of a banana split made with syrups from three rare dessert wines, served with an ice cream spoon from the 1850s. If you give them a day’s notice, they’ll even have a cellist play while you eat it. If you think the cost is too absurd - it is on the “absurdity” menu, after all - maybe it’ll help to know that 1/3 of the price is being donated to a local land trust.
If, however, you think this is too tame to be considered the world’s most expensive ice cream sundae, then perhaps the $60,000 “World’s More Expensive Most Expensive Ice Cream Sundae” will pique your interest. To find out what all that cash will buy you, read more.
For $60,000 you can travel to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, where the Three Twins Ice Cream founder will handchurn a batch of ice cream using the glacial ice found at the summit. The cost includes first class airfare to Tanzania, five-star accommodations, a guided climb, all the ice cream you can eat, and an organic T-shirt, of course. Oh, and you can bring a friend for a mere $25,000 more. It should also be noted that a portion of the purchase will go to an African environmental nonprofit.
So tell me, if you had the money, is this something you’d do?
