The most expensive glass of Coke in the world!

Well, it might not be the most expensive in the whole world, but in my little world, 8,80 for less than 500ml of coke is the MOST expensive I have ever paid for, heard of or seen!


When I realised how much this glass of coke costs, my head immediately did the following calculations:
  • That is about HK$105, I can get an off-peak movie ticket (HK$40) and a movie snack combo which includes a large popcorn, a hot dog and a 500ml bottle coke (HK$65).
  • Or for NZ$17, I can get a big chicken rice (NZ$10) and almost four glasses of coke (NZ$2 each) from my favourite food court, Food Alley in Auckland.
  • Even for expensive London, 6.7 can get a chicken pad thai (5) and a bottle of 500 ml coke (1).
Sure you get the picture now. But these calculations were not doing me any good at the time, so I quickly stopped doing it and turned my head and looked at the reason for the extreme high price...

Arrr~ isn't this nice... yes, you have guessed it, the coke was served in the restaurant 2000m above sea level, on top of Le Brevent, one of the Chamonix ski fields. It was a perfect day for any snowboarder/skier, clear blue sky, fluffy snow and most importantly - hardly anyone on the mountain!!

Given the high price and the fact that I was dieing for a coke after snowboarding the whole morning, I actually think that glass of coke in the end, is the best tasting coke in the world!!
Sweet?! =)
