When the Great Depression began, the demand for Kool-Aid skyrocketed. It was a staple in practically every American home. To help families in a time of extreme financial instability, Perkins lowered the price from 10 cents a package to just five cents, and it stayed that way for years. A marketing campaign cleverly billed the drink as the “budget beverage.”

Dubbed a “superfood,” cordyceps are a mix of medicinal mushroom and caterpillar that only grow at elevations above 14,000 feet in the Himalayas of Bhutan and Tibetan Plateau. Considered the world’s most expensive mushroom, cordyceps can cost over $10,000 per pound and even have their own dedicated auction.

Dubbed “white pearl,” this particular type of caviar ($3,000 a pound) is one of the most treasured on the market (the majority of starlet caviar is black), harvested from rare, freshwater albino sturgeon farmed in northern Europe.

Since only the red pistols of the saffron flower (the stigmata) are harvested, one pound of the spice requires about 75,000 flowers—which bloom a few weeks of the year. Used as everything from perfume to medical potion, saffron was first cultivated in Greece , but now 90% is grown in northeastern Iran, with retail prices reaching a staggering $10,000 per pound.

America's all-time most expensive building, the K-25 Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee was a four-story mile-long U-shaped structure that was built by the US government in 1944 to develop the atom bomb. Interestingly, like Apple Park, the building housed 12,000 staff. The plant, which cost a staggering $7.1 billion in today's money, was demolished in 2013.

Once declared “the most delicious fruit known to men” by Mark Twain, cherimoya is one of the healthiest foods you’ve never heard of and grown in tropical regions throughout the world, but especially in Central and South America. The green exterior of the conical fruit takes on the appearance of scales, but on the inside, you’ll find creamy, white flesh that some have described as a combination of banana, pineapple, strawberry, papaya and peach.

The distinctive ridges of carambola create a star shape when the fruit is cut, hence it is also referred to as star fruit. Native to Indonesia and the Philippines but grown in tropical climates throughout the world, carambola is commonly eaten in Southeast Asia, Micronesia, the South Pacific and parts of East Asia. The fruit is a bright yellow color, sometimes with traces of green, when ripe and has a crunchy and juicy texture with a tart taste that has been compared to a combination of apple, grape, pear and citrus fruits.

Actually a bell-shaped berry that tastes nothing like an apple, wax apples are most commonly red but also come in colors that range from white to green, red to crimson, or purple to black. Its thin skin has a sheen that gives it a waxy appearance, and the inside is white and spongy with a flavor like that of snow pears.
