You've heard about sh*tting ice cream cones, how about sh*tting gold?


The other day at work, we were given an early Christmas gift of a box of chocolates and when we ripped the box open we foudn that they were charming little designs, dusted with gold powder, almost too pretty to eat, but not quite. I was joking with the guys that they'd probably turned your pooh glittery the next day. Well, that night I was listening to Mark and Fausto's podcast on Feast of Fools and they were discussing these gold pills so I just had to look them up and get more information. Yours for just $425 for a set of three pills, these little babies will give your pooh a glittery flourish.

Analogous to our culture's obsession with luxury and consumption, these 24K gold leaf capsules turn your innermost parts into chambers of wealth. Consume and digest.

Now I don't know whether you're meant to show off your "episodes" to your friends and family, or whether it's just for your own private enjoyment. Either way, these things are freaky! These are a joke, right?

Then you didn't get the gold pills. Hmph! And so the pills were meant as permanent humorous show pieces as were gold plated paper clips (which worked). Was it N. Lenin who joked that gold was useless except for maybe toilet seats? (That was a joke about the russian monarchy & anything as having "intrinsic value" and not gold per se: he evidently was not stupid.)
