You won't believe some of these foods, and you probably never knew they existed!
Chapter 1: What is the rarest food being tried in this episode?
This is the rarest food in the entire world. Whoa. But before I show you what it is, my friends and I are also going to try this Japanese square watermelon, the world's most expensive chocolate, and so much more. But we're starting here with these Oreo Ritz crackers, one of the rarest snacks in the United States with only 1,000 boxes ever made. This box right here only cost me $10.
Chapter 2: What are Oreo Ritz crackers and why are they rare?
But as the video moves on, the items are going to get rarer and rarer and eventually priceless. First look, what do you guys think? I like the idea of sweet and salty, honestly. So supposedly this cracker is literally just half Oreo with the Oreo cream and half Ritz cracker with peanut butter. I just forgot this was released in 2019.
Spit it out. I like Oreos, so I like that half. The Ritz is forgettable. Our next two items are this glass of donkey milk from Serbia and this reindeer cheese from Sweden. Are you joking? I don't know about this one, Nick. So hear me out. This glass and this tube of reindeer cheese each cost me $25. I don't even like cheese to begin with, so this is it. Oh, it looks kind of nasty.
What do you think? It's not good. Yeah, I'll take your word for it.
What makes this so rare is the fact that reindeer make such little milk, only about a tenth of what a cow produces each day. Donkey milk, on the other hand, is much rarer. So believe it or not, we wanted to get donkey cheese, but Novak Djokovic, the tennis player, buys the entire world supply because he loves it so much. Who wants to taste the donkey milk first? I'll give it a whirl. Go for it.
Give it a try, give it a try. It's very smooth.
And while Parse is trying it, I'm gonna let you know that the composition of donkey milk is the closest milk in composition to human breast milk. This is called a long neck avocado. These are so hard to find, each one costs $50. And they can grow up to 13 inches long. Is the pit a normal size? Whoa. Wow. Damn. Look at that. Yeah. That's perfect. It's like a guitar. I love it.
Inside it does look just like a normal avocado. In fact, I think the color is even nicer. Lucky for you guys, I made some fresh guacamole. All of this guacamole came from one half of a small long neck avocado. Dive in. Cheers.
Wow. Delicious. Moving on to a true delicacy, these are ant eggs, also known as ant egg caviar. This single can here cost me $100. I don't have to eat this, right? Please. I don't know if you're being serious. I'm being serious.
It's a delicacy. These are a huge luxury all across Southeast Asia, and people say they taste creamy and citrusy. Perfect. Delicious. Parse is going to start. I'm going to have to reject this one. Can't do it. Because this is one of the more adventurous items in this video, I'm going to let you guys off easy and fast forward to another $100 item. Thank god.

Chapter 3: What exotic items are included in this taste test?
And all of this is genuine crystal. Oh, okay. Oh, I'm spilling it. I just spilled like 50 bucks. This is just going to sit here like any wine would to kind of open up. And ideally, this water is the best water we've ever tasted. I got to be careful when I pour this.
Every drop counts. Bar is high for this. Cheers. Cheers. It's not blowing me out of the water expectation-wise. I don't know if I can taste the Amazonian air.
It's almost more of a power move to buy your water like this and just be like... This right here, the rarest, most expensive chocolate bar in the entire world. You guys like chocolate? Love chocolate. This company only makes a few hundred of these per batch, and they regularly sell for up to $500 per bar. What makes this so rare is the cacao that this comes from. These are cacao pods.
This is the fruit where chocolate comes from. And there's this one variety of this fruit from Ecuador that dates back 5,300 years old. A lot of people thought it went extinct until not that long ago, someone found a few trees in this remote area of the Ecuadorian rainforest. That looks pure. I have a sort of a fun idea. One second. What is he up to?
I have this other box of dark chocolate, also from Ecuador. It's from a company called Blue Stripes. It's a beautiful bar itself. Each of these chocolate bars goes for $5. So five versus 500. I want to do a blind taste test. Can this chocolate be worth that much money? Let's find out. Put on your blindfolds. I'm going to mix these up so that only we know which one is which. First one.
I'm gonna give you guys each a square.
It's really, really good chocolate. It's not too brittle. It's chewy enough. I like that one a lot. Now for the second one. Cheers. This one feels a little less rich, a little lighter, right, Mark? Yeah, the bar's not quite as thick. Not quite as flavorful, I'll say that. So which bar are you picking, number one or number two? I have to say probably bar number one.
Me as well. Take the blindfolds off. Bar number one, the $5 bar. Ah! I think just biting into this first one, it was so smooth all the way down. Can't go wrong with chocolate either way. Yeah. What? It's moving. What are these? These look like fingers. Can someone please tell me what's going on? Nick, why aren't you talking?
This pile of seafood in front of me might not look like much, but because of how rare these are, this cost me $750. There's so much mobility coming from that. This is not going in my system.

Chapter 4: How is donkey milk compared to reindeer cheese?
This box is like what you get a fancy watch in. I feel nervous holding the bottle. Number 358 out of 400. If you break it, you buy it. Ooh. Okay, I'm really excited for this.
Get the bread, get the bread. Before we move on, we're going to pair this with this golden olive oil from Greece. This is from the foothills of Mount Olympus, home of the Olympic gods. It is a 24-karat gold-infused extra virgin olive oil. I got this beautiful balsamic olive oil platter.
At the bottom there is some of our 100-year-old balsamic, and the top, of course, you can see we have gold-flaked olive oil. You really are the king of plating. This is nice, right? Just dip in there, just kind of get in the crevices. Wow. 10 out of 10. Seriously, 10 out of 10. And the olive oil is a proper way to start a meal.
Next up is a $1,500 item called elvish honey. And it's rare because the honey has to be harvested in the middle of the night by professional climbers. That's beautiful. Yeah.
I love the honeycomb glass. And speaking of honeycomb, I wanted to bring in a full frame of honeycomb just because I don't know if you guys have ever seen that before. No. This is like nice, good quality, regular honey from a honeycomb.
Oh wow. That's a dessert. So there's our baseline. It's a pretty high bar. Nice. Great sound. Yeah. It smells so different. It smells more like molasses, to be honest, doesn't it? It doesn't even smell sweet to me. It smells more savory. Yeah. Yeah, almost lemony. Really fragrant from all those wildflowers, I think, right? That's cool.
The more you smell it, the more it kind of opens up to something totally different. Just a teaspoon. Yeah.
You know what's interesting is because it's supposed to have these medicinal kind of magical qualities, I wonder if like that's... It does taste like medicine. In like a kind of a cool way. We've all tried prosciutto, maybe even some jamon, but at the tippity top of the holy grail of ham, there's Cinco Jotas Jamon Iberico. I love how on Iberico.
In front of us is a leg of the finest ham on the planet, but that does result in a hefty $2,000 price tag. That said, I have been lucky enough to try this before, and I will say, as a special treat once in a while, having a few slices is worth it. All right, let's do it. I'm ready if you are.
