Topic: Stupidity
As big fans of Mexican food, we are keenly aware of the utter stupidity in our devouring it. It is all cheese, meat, vegetables and a tortilla product combined in different manners, and we gobble it up like it's crack.
Now a Mexican tequila manufacturer has discovered a new way to sell ultra premium spirits to Americans at upwards of $225,000 a bottle. It's not the 100 percent agave liqour that has been aged for six years. It's the bottles, which are platinum, gold, or silver.
"Tonight we are trying for the Guinness Book of Records with the most expensive bottle in the world," Fernando Altamirano, chief executive of producer Tequila Ley .925, told a launch party for the liquor.
If you don't want to drop over 200 large on a platinum bottle, there are gold and silver bottles for $25,000. But you'll still be considered a cheap bastard by your fancy pants friends who sprang for the $150,000 solid gold bottle.
