Surely just as much a publicity stunt as stand up seats on a Ryanair flight? Would a gastronome eat a white truffle in a sandwich? I have had few reports that gold tastes great.
I’m sure that if anyone wanted to prove that they were so wealthy, that buying a sandwich like this was like bread and butter to them, could instead, save a few hectares of rainforest from destruction instead?
