No, this is not the story of a greedy King Midas who turned anything that he touched into gold, but it's definitely another idea intended extravagant human folly, or perhaps Midas for modern followers.
In fact, gold is the everywhere around us. You can drink champagne with 24-carat gold, you can use body milk with 24-carat gold, and the most recent addition in the sea of bizarre ideas that come to brilliant marketing magicians is probably "to sell all that glitters" even if it was an ordinary donut.
Actually, no, not ordinary, it is topped with 24-carat gold leaf! Philippine restaurant located in Brooklyn, sells this type of donut for a mere $ 100 per piece. They say that some New Yorkers recently were willing to pay for 12 donuts a whopping $ 1.200. The price of gold is around $ 1,075 an ounce. The precious delicacy can be found in Manila Social Club, which is owned by Chef Bjorn Dela Cruz.
The restaurant promoted donuts on Instagram, where the first customers immediately praised photographs of golden donuts purchased to solemnly celebrate the entry into the New Year.

Restaurant offers regular donuts sold at much more reasonable price than gold version and 12 donuts cost a total of $ 40.
Dela Cruz said that he has begun producing gold donuts for fun and curiosity. Human folly never ends, and we must admit that the gold rush for donuts is probably just beginning.
