Nothing really exciting about Ikea meatballs

Am I missing something?



That said it's always fascinated me how caviar(which is really easy to produce) has always kept such an expensive place in the market.

Much like Diamonds, they're jacked up and controlled by a few big corporations and governments in order to keep the supply low and the "demand" high.

I've had caviar, if it was half the price then it might be worth every penny, luxury products are a way for companies to part suckers and their money...

Lobster used to be a poor man's dish, gold used to be worthless, and bitcoins didn't even exist....

But hey, maybe I just don't "get it" because I'm not interested in getting short changed by professional scam artists.
