On a serious note, 1500?
Most likely I'd save it and it would go on stuff like food, games and paying rent.
More none-boring answer and if I'd have to use it like within a few days, then I'd maybe put it into a car, I think the car will cost more than 1500? but it will pay some part of the car.

Jeez... that burger is just wasteful in so many ways. Apparantly someone missed the note to cooks that tossing a load of expensive ingredients together doesn't make for a very refined taste experience. I can probably make a better tasting burger than that with less than 1/100th of the cost.
I'd spend that amount of money on a new gaming desktop (since I too suffer from the problem of currently only having a laptop that runs games decently, but no more than that; budget for this should be great at about ?1200), a good bottle of single malt scotch (another ?100), a box of decent cigars (?50), which still leaves me with ?150 to spare that would probably go towards my MtG addiction.

My math says that's right under $1800US. I may be wrong.
That's the price of four old, small, but decent used motorcycles on the lot behind me at work and a bit extra for cheap leather jackets.
You can literally start a ghetto biker gang for the cost of this burger.

Oh my!
As good as that burger looks, the overwhelming anxiety I would feel while eating it would just ruin the experience. "Oh my god, this bite costed me $20.00!" and I would gag at the idea of basically eating money.
I can't really say that this burger is a waste of money though; a $2000 marketing expenditure isn't really all that unreasonable, even for a small business. (If you read the article, it says that this was a promotional item given as a prize)
If I were to suddenly have an extra $2000, I would only invest it or use it to pay a few months of rent and insurance; I'm a boring dude like that. As long as we're talking about fun ways to WASTE money though I would go to this local store and blow it on paintball gear for myself and a handful of friends. I've been wanting to get a bunch of people to go paintballing for a WHILE now and their only excuse is that it costs to much.

That's about $1800.
I'd probably hold onto the money to pay off my meal plan for a semester. I'll use what little is left to buy a game for my 3DS.

Yeah, it's like they went down a checklist of most expensive foods, chucking in everything valuable enough. The focus was on net value, not how well the ingredients go together.Slycne said:
Any one of the incredibly expensive ingredients would probably be delicious on it's own. But together? Probably better off with a $20 burger from a pub or something.
That burger costs 14 152 SEK?! Holy smokes! I could by, like, at least 5 3DS consoles for that money! And if not that, 4 of any other console! Not to mention all the games I could buy!
Or afford 30 driving classes. Or maybe a used car. Or two last-minute trips to another country in Europe with my parents, if you fly with a cheap plane company. Or some table-top RPGs.

Hey man, don't diss candied bacon. 'Dat shit be delicious, yo. And it'll kill you slowly...Zeconte said:
Probably just put in the bank to ease off how tight money is right now. Sometimes its just nice to have something to fall back on.
That's around ?1400. That kinda money I'd use to pay this year's university tuition, and I'd put the rest on my savings account. The only slightly fancy thing I'd do is buy a new phone, as my current one is dying and being a nuisance during running (headphone jacket is fucked up). But I'd just get a ?150 one or something, nothing fancy.
Also, the first thing that came in my mind when seeing that burger is: "That looks so uncomfortable to eat." With that size, how'd you ever take a bite out of that? And trying to eat something like that with knife and fork is just a no-no.

Imma gonna start by saying that looks disgusting. Seriously, just throwing the most expensive ingredients on the planet on a plate is not a great meal going to make. These chefs are increasingly embarrassing themselves with these wank fests of making absurdly expensive foods at the cost of anything resembling practicality and probably taste.
My use of that money would be to finish getting my new PC put together and sock a bit aside for my upcoming wedding.
