Re: $500 Milkshake

I recently read a blog where a restaurant in Los Angeles has added a $500 milkshake onto their menu. Not only is this ridiculously expensive but the materials in the milkshake does not add up anywhere close to $500. A Belgium chocolate, edible gold leaf, and a Swarovski Ring is supposedly the “cherry on top.” From a business perspective, it is an interesting way to grab attention to your restaurant. Most restaurants have their own signature dish but why not top that with a $500 milkshake.In addition, not only does this promote the business but also make an absurd amount of money on one table. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like nobody will buy it. In a city filled with Hollywood stars and wealthy people, someone is bound to try it out for themselves. Personally, I do not think that this is a bad idea. Those who have tried out the milkshake will leave the restaurant with a memorable experience and perhaps spread it to their friends to tempt them to try it out for themselves.
