“I’ll take the chocolate bar,” says one woman as Dice tells her, “who needs a 10-ounce bar of silver, right?” as the woman physically recoils from it.
Another man responds, “Yeah, exactly!” when Dice asks “Who needs a 10-ounce bar of silver when you can have a good delicious bar of chocolate, right?”
“The Hershey bar, I can eat it, I can’t eat the silver bar,” remarks another man as he chooses the chocolate over the bullion.
This isn’t the first time Dice has tested Americans’ concept of ‘real money’. In a previous video (below), he attempted to sell the 10oz silver bar for as little as 99 cents, with no takers.
