I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream
When jokes turn out to be predictions, is it scary or incredibly awesome? These people were gobsmacked when their little joke turned into a massive win. Imagine cooking up a joke, but instead of just a bag of laughs, you also get a nice pile of cash!

A friendly Mr Smith was getting ready for a trip that would take him out of state and was about to leave when he jokingly told his wife that he would call her when he won the lottery. She played along with his joke and replied, “Oh right”, and who could blame her? Little did she know that a few days later, her husband would do precisely that! During his trip, Mr. Smith decided he might as well buy a lottery ticket for the joke's sake but would soon be shocked that he’d purchased a winning ticket worth $227,037! True to his word, he would call his wife to tell her the incredible news, but it must have been just that because she refused to believe him, insisting he was going too far with the joke. He would have to send her a picture holding the massive check and return home with the money to prove it.
Strawberries Arnaud ice cream
Is strawberry your favourite flavour? Then, this may be the dessert for you. A heavenly combination of whipped cream and fresh strawberries is peppered with mint, expensive Oporto sauce, and red wine sauce and finally garnished with edible gold. The dessert is not yet complete without the metaphorical cherry on top, but this is one you don’t want to eat. Since so many couples have used Arnaud’s Restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana, as a place to pop the question, the creators of this sumptuous dessert felt that a final touch was necessary. So, the metaphorical cherry is inside (not on top), and it's not a cherry but a 4.7-carat pink diamond ring. This is a perfect combination, as pre-ordering the dessert means the restaurant will even get the engagement ring for you. So, if you’re looking to splurge on popping the question, Arnaud’s has got you covered.
MrBeast’s sundae
Third place goes to the famous Youtuber MrBeast, who commissioned this gigantic gelato. This sumptuous sundae is made of several pricey ingredients that required importing them. Starting with South American chocolate barks worth $500 each and rare Japanese strawberries, both flown in on first-class flights. These special strawberries are soaked in grape juice worth over $20K. The desert is finally garnished with candied peaches worth $500 each, drenched in a $3K caramel sauce and drizzled with a wild huckleberry sauce for $50 per spoon and a butterscotch that costs $45,000. MrBeast additionally handed the chef a $20K tip for the marvellous creation.
Absurdity sundae
The absurdity behind this desert is not simply in its creation but also in its serving. We’ll start with the concoction of this creamy creation and what goes into it. Starting with a banana which is covered in a variety of decadent syrups made from rare dessert wines, including a Chateau D’Yquem, a German Trokenbeerenauslese and a 1960s vintage port before being topped with three scoops of superbly decadent ice cream. Now, for the serving, nothing is inspiring about the plate, but notably, the spoon you are offered to eat with is an antique: a solid gold spoon dated somewhere from the 1850s. Finally, you’re probably wondering why the “where” it is served hasn’t been mentioned yet. Since you won’t find this dish inside a restaurant, you’re probably wondering how you place your order and where you eat it. The answer is that included in the price is a 1st class ticket to Tanzania, a guided tour to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and a cellist who plays live music for you while you eat. However, not all is luxury and decadence for the company offering this desert, promises that one-sixth of the price is donated to an African charity dedicated to working on environmental conservation and climate change.
Frrrozen Haute Chocolate
The next contender comes from the lavish Serendipity 3 hotel in New York. Keeping with the 3 in the brand is what gives the treat the 3 Rs in its name. When it first debuted in 2007, the desert made it into the Guinness World Record as the most expensive desert in the world. The recipe for this sumptuous treat included 28 of the world’s finest cocoas, expensive truffle shavings and Madagascan vanilla ice cream. Finally, the desert is garnished with 5g of edible 23-carat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. The goblet is decorated with an 18-karat gold bracelet studded with 1-carat white diamonds. To eat it, you are given a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-coloured diamonds, which you get to keep after eating.
Bear Extraordinaire
Acclaimed Pastry Chef Rosario Wakabayashi and a collection of rare ingredients make the Bear Extraordinaire. To find it, head to the Baccarat Hotel in New York. The dessert starts with a white chocolate egg hand-painted with coloured cocoa butter. Then, 3g of black truffle crumble, dark Manjari chocolate from Madagascar, and Valrhona Gold cocoa nibs support the treat. The dessert is then dressed in citrus meringue, hibiscus champagne sauce, and fondant butterflies covered with a spun sugar nest. The final touches are edible silver and gold leaves. However, surprisingly, what contributes the most to the value of this ice cream is the porcelain bowl and bear-shaped crystal top in which the Bear Extraordinaire is served. Shockingly, the price drops staggeringly to just $300 without the bowl.
