Those hot summer days we have been looking forward to are finally just around the corner, but soon we will be wishing for milder days as we cool ourselves down with icy treats; of course, some of the luckier people out there will be able to do so with the $1,000 Popsicle. This exorbitantly priced icy treat is definitely for those of us who lead the luxurious life.
Offered by the The Marquis Los Cabos resort in Mexico, the $1,000 Popsicle is so pricey because it is made with 24-carat gold flakes and a luxury brand of tequila that costs $1,500 a bottle. When you take that into consideration, it's hard not to imagine that the $1,000 Popsicle may actually be a bargain.
