The world’s most expensive pizza

Yes, there is one, and it costs $12,000 because it takes 72 hours to make and can only be prepared in your home by three Italian chefs. The dough is made from organic Arabian flour and dusted with Murray River pink salt.

The pizza is topped with three rare types of caviar: Oscietra Royal Prestige, Kaspia Oscietra Royal Classic from the Iranian coast, and Kaspia Beluga. The 72-hour preparation time allows the dough and toppings to ‘rest’ before cooking. As you’d expect, the toppings are as luxurious as they come, including Norwegian lobster and seven types of cheese.

White chocolate isn’t chocolate

Its name is deceiving because white chocolate doesn’t have any components of regular chocolate. It’s really just a mixture of sugar, milk vanilla, lecithin and cocoa butter.

Does water expire?

Expiration date on the bottled water have nothing to do with the water. Water can’t expire — but the bottle it’s in can. Plastic bottles will eventually start leaking chemicals into the water. It won’t make the water harmful to drink, but it will make it taste less fresh.
