Want to fly in first class to Tanzania, hike Mount Kilimanjaro and have some Three Twins Ice Cream with Survivor’s Neal Gottlieb? It’ll cost you!
To say Survivor Kaoh Rong’s Brains tribe player Neal Gottlieb is an ambitious, eccentric entrepreneur is a bit of an understatement. The man has previously sold what he dubs the “World’s Most Expensive Ice Cream Sundae” through his Three Twins Ice Cream company and has often produced other headline-grabbing ideas aimed to bring attention to philanthropic causes.
The most recent stunt has been effective in grabbing headlines, with news stories from CNBC, Inside Hook and the AV Club’s food vertical, The Takeout. Neal Gottlieb is offering up “The World’s More Expensive Most Expensive Ice Cream Sundae” at the low, low cost of $60,000 USD.
Included with the sundae is a first-class ticket to Tanzania, a guided climb to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, all the hand-churned ice cream you want (using glacier ice), a t-shirt made from organic cotton and five-star accommodations. A “five-figure contribution to an African environmental non-profit” is also part of the package.
As Three Twins Ice Cream is often bringing awareness to such causes, the creation of ice cream using glacier ice is to highlight the fact that, according to the site, the glaciers won’t have any ice to offer within 10-15 years’ time. Not only does this make the expensive trip a limited-time offer, but it should highlight the severity of the effects of global warming.
Of course, there are as many caveats to purchasing this ultimate Survivor experience as there are dollars in the price tag. For one, people die climbing the mountain every single year, and more than a 1,000 are evacuated mid-climb. It takes between five days and more than a week to climb, and roughly half of all climbers make it to the top.
Still, if you have money to burn, a deep-rooted care for the environment and would like to know more from Neal Gottlieb about what it’s like to be the only Survivor jury member taken off of jury duty, this venture is your golden opportunity!
