I think this melon, a Yubari King Melon, with a good cup of the coffee. Take a look. Here is some info on this melon. “The choicest melon pairs have been auctioned in Japan for as much as $26,000, but a standard Yubari melon costs between $50 and $100 in Japanese department stores.” The coffee, on the other hand, “Kopi luwak, or civet coffee, is coffee that has passed through the digestive system of a nocturnal catlike animal called a civet. . . Kopi luwak retails for as much as $500 per pound, or about $1 per gram.” Goot Essen!
