A BREAKFAST SPOT IN DUBAI OFFERS A $67, 3-FOOT-LONG CROISSANT, NO INSULIN
When my sweet tooth ruled over all, there wasn’t ever the idea of excessive when it came to eating variously sugary goods. It was… excessive. I used to eat an entire Entenmann’s cake after dinner several times a week in my mid-teens. And I usually wanted more. But now my sweet tooth is more like a sweet nub, which only occasionally twitches. But I must say, despite the price, that just the memory of what my body used to crave endlessly makes me (almost) want to try the 3-foot-long croissant you can get in Dubai. For a measly $67….

SOME MIGHT CALL A 3-FOOT-LONG CROISSANT EXCESSIVE, BUT THE PRICE PROVES IT SO
I’ll just say it must be a coincidence that is the same cost for a month’s supply of insulin in America. But this 3-foot-long croissant is totally real, and you can only find it at BohoX, the “best all-day breakfast in Dubai.” I keep wondering just how tempted I would be, if I happened to be in Dubai, to drop by there and see what kind of damage I could do. Besides bankruptcy, of course. I’ve had a 1.5lb burger and survived. I’ve eaten snake, crocodile and even deep-fried alligator. And, of course, I’ve had the odd croissant or two (or a million). But all of those weren’t larger than my two hands together.

BOHOX ALSO OFFERS A GIANT CAPPUCCINO THAT PAIRS PERFECTLY WITH THE GIANT CROISSANT
But 3 feet? 90CM? That’s one large and excessive pastry. And by all accounts, it has the right combination of soft yet flakey, but still with a crunchy bite that only encourages another. But that amount of sweet pastry goodness needs a little something to wash it down. And BohoX has the best pairing, which comes in the form of a giant cappuccino that will only set you back another $33. So together you’re talking a novelty breakfast that includes no protein whatsoever that will cost you $100 in total. Not including tip. And if you think about that, that’s a bit much- even for novelty.
But I’m sure plenty of tourists with Instagram accounts will be all in to establish their foolish consumer bonafides. If you want to whet your curisu appetite from afar, have a look here: BohoX.
Oh, and that giant cappuccino? It’s about the same as 28 cups of coffee.
