And for a special treat, the other options on the site are probably worth it!  Also, keep in mind, that for your $2400, you are getting a specially formulated mix, personalized for you or someone you love. And you get 120 chocolated (I am sure they would last quite a while!) I think it's kind of a cool idea- especailly if you have a love and true appreciation for chocolates.  Though the price still seems a bit high.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[heatherenee1214]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 2:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sir Hans Sloane Bespoke Chocolates]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</guid><description><![CDATA[remember that it is only a waste of money if you cannot afford it. for some people 2,400 is just pocket change.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[athena smith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 4:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sir Hans Sloane Bespoke Chocolates]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</guid><description><![CDATA[The candy is only $20.It's the gas to ship it to you that cost the rest.

I know that to people with millions of dollars - it's no different than buying a Hershey bar - but coming from my background - I could never waste that much money on candy.  Just couldn't do it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waycross48]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 3:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sir Hans Sloane Bespoke Chocolates]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</guid><description><![CDATA[What’s the difference? $2,400.00 box of chocolates or a $5,000.00 tin of fish eggs (caviar)? They think their getting something special and if one can afford to throw that much money away for so little, than they probably didn’t make the money to begin with and have no real sense of worth?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sandman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 3:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sir Hans Sloane Bespoke Chocolates]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</guid><description><![CDATA[If someone wants to spend the money they earned on something like this why would it matter to anyone.

As for you, heatherenee (#2), you must not be very good at math, because even with them being customized, it still adds up to $20 per PIECE. I don't think that I need to spend that much for a piece of chocolate to "have a love and true appreciation for chocolates".]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KARIN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 3:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sir Hans Sloane Bespoke Chocolates]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</guid><description><![CDATA[To those of you who are squawking about this, stick an apple in your mouth, please, because I am *sure* if you won the mega-lottery tomorrow, you'd go straight out and indulge in something outrageous just like these candies.  <br><br>Is it right to pay such money for candies when so many people are without?  NO it's not....<br><br>... but would most people who had a lot of money (and let's face it ... $2,400.00 to a millionaire/billionaire is panty hose money!) buy something so frivolous as this?  YES!<br><br>So give it a rest, would ya'???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lana]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 3:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sir Hans Sloane Bespoke Chocolates]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</guid><description><![CDATA[Eileen, why are you pissed off? It isn't your money. I personally wouldn't pay that for chocolates, and I am a chocoholic. I cannot afford it. But rich people that have earned their money, that is their priviledge. just like when someone spends $10,000 a night for a hotel room, IT IS THEIR MONEY!!!! I don't think rich people should be made to feel guitly, by someone saying look how many hungry people, etc this would feed. People have their own charities & don't need other people to tell them what to do. Yes, if I won the lottery you had better beleive I would indulge in some silly expensive thing. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CeeCee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 4:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sir Hans Sloane Bespoke Chocolates]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/03/30/sir-hans-sloane-bespoke-chocolates/</guid><description><![CDATA[$20 EACH FOR CHOCOLATE?????

The price does not enhance the meaning of any gift, That's just plain nuts.  If my husband gives me a $12.00 box of candy I'm happy.  If he bought me a box of $2,000 candy  all kinds of red flags would go up for me.  He CAN actually afford the 2 grand candy but I'm on a diet . I'd rather he bought me a new kitchen set.
