Mexico’s proposed higher mining royalties could block nearly $7bn in investments
The Mexican government proposed raising mining royalties under the argument that metal prices have risen in recent years.
People love gold so much they are willing to make edible cupcakes, credit cards and even iPhones out of the metal.
Unfortunately someone has taken gold to a whole new level.
According to a 2007 report by DVICE, Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid are selling a pill filled with gold leaf that you injest so what you pass is glittery.
Each pill costs $425.
The advertisement and product description is here. Warning, strong language.

Seriously??? A link to a 5 year old article passes for journalism nowadays? I hope that no one was actually paid for producing this.

Agreed, this is pretty desperate
