Would you spend $56 on just five potato chips?

Beer and salty potato chips are a classic pairing, but one brewery has taken it to a whole new level of luxury. A Swedish brewery named St. Eriks has teamed up its craft pale ale with a batch of five specially designed potato chips — and these five chips will set you back $56.

No, it’s not five bags of chips for 499 Swedish krona (roughly $56). It’s five individual chips. Yes, five! And that price doesn’t even include the cost of shipping! What's more, the brewery managed to sell out all 100 boxes of these pricey snacks. The chips were crafted by chef Pi Le, who hand-made each one.

The steep price tag isn't simply due to the high cost of living in Scandinavian countries — nor is it some government initiative to fund universal healthcare or parental leave through snacks. These five chips are made from potatoes grown exclusively in Sweden's Ammarnäs region. They're seasoned with rare ingredients like matsutake mushrooms, truffle seaweed, India pale ale wort, and served in a custom wooden box with individual compartments.

As stated on the company's website, all profits from the sale of these chips will be donated to charity.

You might still crave something after your pricey potato chips, but fear not—there are plenty of other high-end treats to empty your wallet and satisfy your appetite. Fleur by Hubert Keller, a restaurant in Las Vegas, offers a $5,000 burger made from marbled Wagyu beef, topped with foie gras and truffles.

For dessert, don't miss the $25,000 ice cream sundae served at Serendipity 3 in New York City. This luxurious dessert is made with some of the world's rarest cocoas and garnished with edible 23-karat gold, served in a goblet lined with edible gold. It also comes with an 18-karat gold bracelet adorned with white diamonds and a gold spoon... also encrusted with diamonds. Makes that $56 for five chips seem like a steal, doesn’t it?
