Not Terribly Wise! These 5 Little Potato Chips Will Cost You $59

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A Swedish brewery is selling a new brand of fancy, beautifully crafted potato chips for $59.

For that much money, you'd think you could get Erik Estrada to serve them on a platter personally. You'd probably expects a ton of spuds for that price. At least 4-5 family-size bags.

But for that nearly $60 price tag, you get only five (yeah, just five) chips total.

And now we know why they sell them in a brewery. At nearly $12 a chip, one figures you gotta be a little soused to wanna indulge. You could get a steak AND a potato for that.

Mashable's Water Cooler section says they are the world's most expensive chips. (We'd hope so!)

St. Erik's says their snooty snacks are the "most exclusive" in the world. (We'd hope so!)

So why so much for so little (the chips aren't even that big)? According to Mashable, some of the finest and rarest ingredients are used to make the chips. (Good old, sour cream and onion is fine by us!)

These ingredients, says Mashable, include matsutake mushrooms (what?), truffle seaweed (why!?), India Pale Ale wort (uh, come again), crown dill (when regular dill just won't do), Leksand onion (a rare type of onion that grows outside the small Swedish town of Leksand.) The chips themselves come from hand-picked Ammarnäs potatoes. (Hand-picked? For this price you should get to cuddle.)

If you want to know it there is a market for such pricey snack food, the brewery says they've sold out of their 100 limited-edition run.

Why do we get the feeling more will be made?
