Meet the To'ak Bar, which is shaping up to be the most expensive popsicle in the world. This ice cream parlor, recently launched at DOOZEE Bespoke Bar in Key West, Florida, USA, boasts a price tag of $250 (before tax), and according to local people, it is the ultimate frozen dessert.
So what makes this minus virtue delicacy so desirable? Let's start with the fact that each unit is made separately by an "ice cream barista", exclusively to order. The process begins with a dip in vanilla ice cream with an equally high quality chocolate coating.

The barista then handles, with the help of a spoon from the luxury brand Hermes, chips of the rarest chocolate in the world - To'ak chocolate - after which the product is actually named. The chips are scattered Sisyphean on the ice cream, and then cover all this goodness with edible 24-karat gold leaves and "sugar diamonds." The truth is that we would have deposited the popsicle in a safe instead of eating it, but we just checked with the bank and they still haven't installed freezers instead. Problem.

By the way, DOOZEE, which also offers highly photogenic "Taylor Swift popsicles" and "Instagram popsicles," makes it clear that they are happy to deliver the goods even "to customers who don't have the big money to spend on the To'ak Bar." That's according to Jim Epstein, the owner, who would love to tick off a portion of frozen yogurt for just $3.5 or a chill topped with hot Cheetos or organic rose leaves. And to think that until now we have made do with ordinary chocolate milk and chocolate banana. Magnum roof.
