Gold in your coffeePosted Jul 9th 2007 10:50AM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Coffee, Far East, New ProductsGetting a little tired of that same old boring cup of coffee? Adding sugar, cream, and even such wildly exotic spices like nutmeg and cinnamon not doing it for you?If you need new excitement in your mug, what about gold? Japanese pharmaceutical company Tsukioka Co. Ltd.has come up with "Kin Kirara" (translates to" sparkly gold"), which are thin, pure gold shapes that can be used to float on coffee without melting (I wouldn't think they would). As luxurious as it may sound to float gold in your coffee, apparently gold also has some health benefits. Tsukioka says that pure gold helps refresh the human bodyThe gold characters, words, and shapes, are available at stores like Tokyu Hands for ¥500, which is a mere $4. Come on, if you're spending close to that on the coffee itself, what's another $4?[via: CoolHunting]
