Cheese @ $350 a pound

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Wed Apr 18, '12, 12:34 am

I don't know what to think about someone who would pay $350 or $500 for a pound of cheese, but that's what recently happened at an auction where various 24 lb. sizes and varieties of Cheeses were auctioned off:

Must have been some extraordinary cheese to fetch that amount of money. :yaknow: :blank:

Well, it was low fat...
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

Even if it's low fat, it's very expensive ! But as it was an auction... ;)

Oh dear. I'm not really a cheese fan :yuck:. So I cannot understand somebody paying that amount of money for it...

I like cheese myself, but this was a bit extreme to me. I hope this was a super special, rare cheese to justify that price.

I'd rather paying that amount on a pound of Vita or 3DS :p
