Most Expensive Coffee: Kopi Luwak, a.k.a. Civet Coffee - made from coffee berries which have been eaten, digested, and then, well, pooped out by the Asian Palm Civet.
Price: About $50-100 per cup
Most Expensive Bottled Water: Bling H20 - the bottle is decorated with Swarovski crystals, and is marketed only to “hand-selected athletes and actors.”
Price: 750mL bottle = $40
Most Expensive Beer: Carlsberg Jacobsen Vintage No. 1 - only available at three Copenhagen restaurants, with only 600 bottles ever having been created.
