Luxury chefs and media mavens are always trying to one-up each other, which makes for entertaining news and mind-blowing Guinness records. Everybody else, however, is stuck wondering if these sumptuous snacks are really worth more than their pedestrian counterparts.

Most Expensive Food No. 2
Antarctic Brew

The most expensive beer is a title that changes hands almost every year. But an $800 bottle of beer brewed from melted Antarctic glacial ice might hold the top spot for some time.

However, beer made from melted Antarctic glacial ice certain qualifies -- and deserves an enormous eyeroll. Care to measure the carbon footprint of that extravagance?
