Gold Pill makes your poop glitter for $425

goldpill.jpg

If you've got so much money that you're just looking for new ways to waste it, Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid created the Gold Pill for you. It's a pill dipped in gold and filled with 24-karat gold leaf. You're supposed to eat it "to increase your self-worth." That would be funny if it didn't cost $425 for the joke. Supposedly an added benefit is that it will make your poop sparkle, but no one seems to have proven that part yet (and if you do, please don't send us the pictures). This is either genius social commentary or a brilliant way to bilk rich people out of their money. If Wong's name sounds familiar, it's probably because he also created the $2,000 ccPhone.

Finally a product that can use the 'Golden Brown' song by the Stranglers for a commercial!

By icepyro at 12:45 PM ON 12/09/07

Finally! Proof that all that glitters can be gold... even your own poop!

By Eruviel at 8:47 PM ON 12/09/07

I wonder if it really works?

By parsonsb at 9:40 PM ON 12/09/07

it'll make your dookie twinkle

By LC at 6:38 PM ON 12/10/07

Simple test: (tried myself and YES it works)

Take a small piece of paper.
Put a big pinch of glitter on it.
Wrap paper around like a pill size.

Swallow with water (try not to chew, glitter stays in your teeth for ages).

Be amazed for the next few days as you have a glitterball in the bowl.

By screamulous at 6:59 PM ON 12/10/07

Yes, it will still stink, but it will look good. Er, as good as it can look.

By Hyrum at 7:04 PM ON 12/10/07

If I had the money I would eat one just to get people to look at my poop.

By badmagneticpoet at 7:12 PM ON 12/10/07

Great. Now someone has got to a re-shoot big budget version of 2 girls 1 cup.

By imaudi at 7:15 PM ON 12/10/07

Ask your doctor if the gold pill is right for you..

By stalemelon at 7:24 PM ON 12/10/07

ALL I AM GOING TO SAY IS.... 2 GIRLS, ONE CUP.

By ANARCHY-TV.COM at 7:27 PM ON 12/10/07

I think all us poor folks can do this for less than $.10 by getting some empty pill capsules (they sell them on the internet, or wad it up in a tiny piece of paper as mentioned), and filling them with cheap kid gold glitter.

By Bell738 at 7:42 PM ON 12/10/07

If I had that kind of money to get gold poo, I'd totally do it, but I don't, so I won't

By sallamon grundi at 10:43 PM ON 12/10/07

lame, dave chappelle already did it.

By drugx2 at 12:26 AM ON 12/11/07

Oh Please God NO!!!

.....i can't help but wonder...what would that do to your insides?

By earlten at 2:03 AM ON 12/11/07

DRUGX2: That's why they used gold. Safe, non-toxic, and it wont rip up your intestines.

By ChemicalEcho at 2:51 AM ON 12/11/07

Instead of buying these just drink lots of Goldschlager.

By Monkey Dung at 6:41 AM ON 12/11/07

Those who gold leaf with real 23k have this oppurtunity.

By spaced at 11:03 AM ON 12/11/07

Golden Brown was about Heroine, not gold.

By sh*tpainter at 11:24 AM ON 12/11/07

Pay me $425.00 a pop and I will come to your house and paint your sh*t gold.

By LEODASCROTE at 4:30 PM ON 12/11/07

why not just flush $425 down the toilet?

By madc at 4:37 PM ON 12/11/07

I'd be more interested in taking a pill to change the smell rather than the look, personally.

By goldfacts at 7:17 PM ON 12/11/07

you can buy 24kt at the Goldleaf Factory Int. Australia.

By huh? at 8:57 PM ON 12/11/07

i'd like to find this Wong dude and kick him in the nuts.

By Say Wha? at 12:16 AM ON 12/12/07

Silly. This is completely pointless unless your filming 2 girls 1 cup II or similar.

By kitty at 12:47 AM ON 12/12/07

Years ago I got the same effect from drinking Gold Schlagger.

By pooponsatan at 9:29 AM ON 12/12/07

Finally i can be soooo glamorous that i poop glitter!

By Curlygirl at 11:26 AM ON 12/12/07

Why dont you just put some ground diamond bits in your scrambled dinosaur eggs? It will smell WILD, and your dookie witll twinkle!!

By Ga Girl at 11:56 AM ON 12/12/07

Does this mean you fart glitter clouds?

By OOBS at 12:12 PM ON 12/12/07

Well first of all it's the most ballinist thing you could do... And it makes my doody twinkle!!

Thank you Dave!

By Deshy at 12:15 PM ON 12/12/07

Now is there a product that will freeze my golden poo so i can have it forever?

By joans at 12:19 PM ON 12/12/07

Glitter is made of shards of glass, folks. Maybe no one else needs to try that experiment.
I'm just saying.

By JUDMAN25 at 3:27 PM ON 12/12/07

Hahaha STALEMELON.

YOU NASTY!!!

By hunter at 4:43 PM ON 12/12/07

why not just pay a fraction of that for a sheet of gold leaf and poop sparkly for weeks?

By shari at 11:35 PM ON 12/12/07

What happens if you have the runs? Gold nugget?

By Shari at 9:49 PM ON 12/13/07

Just realized -- this gives a whole new meaning to a golden shower...

By Pariah at 10:00 PM ON 12/13/07

Heavy metal poisoning much?

By hellakitti at 11:57 PM ON 12/13/07

I thought that ingesting gold was poisonous to your body and can kill you if it's in small doses over an extended period of time.

By Me at 7:31 AM ON 12/14/07

For all the good the pill would do, I could just shove it up my ass.

By Howard at 10:30 AM ON 12/14/07

I wounder who you would ask to come and look at your poop.

By 5hock at 11:16 AM ON 12/14/07

By Deshy at 12:15 PM

Now is there a product that will freeze my golden poo so i can have it forever?
------------------

Yes there is, it's called a freezer, find it in your kitchen.

By million dollar shart at 1:06 PM ON 12/14/07

If you poop your pants don't take 'em to the cleaners--sell those puppies on e-bay!

By orasc at 6:25 PM ON 12/14/07

Why not just eat $425 worth of Quarters and you can listen to it as it drops, then you can look at it and see it shimmer too!

By jrff at 11:25 PM ON 12/14/07

By SINKLE-PINK at 7:53 AM ON 12/15/07

By Jimbob at 5:16 PM ON 12/18/07

Cool, get bling from your ring.

By sirpoopsalot at 10:01 PM ON 12/18/07

wow...now my poop can smell like roses AND be pretty

By dfa at 9:17 PM ON 12/19/07

This could actually be dangerous. Gold is a heavy metal and could give you heavy metal poisoning(think lead).

By Whimspiration at 2:17 AM ON 12/20/07

If pure gold leaf/flakes were toxic, they wouldn't put them in liquor, sillies!

By Buttoned-Up.com at 5:45 PM ON 12/20/07

Could the gold be reclaimed from the fecal matter? It could be reused (or resold) over and over again. If anyone is interested, I may have some gold pills for sale in about, oh, let's say 20 minutes.

By Rags at 3:36 AM ON 12/21/07

I am from the southern part of India and indeed its a proven fact that gold taken in small quantities does keep you young and healthy. One of the celebreties is known to have taken it in the form of "Herbal" paste and people have seen him stay young for years.

By noncivilised-eye at 4:38 AM ON 12/21/07

too much gold in your system can cause heavy metal poisoning... (i watch too much "house")... so i would think that this would be a very expensive way to make yourself sick.

By Pidge at 7:48 AM ON 12/22/07

you've got to be having a giraffe.
someone had to be bored out of their mind to come up with that.
and someone has just got to be frickin' weird to want it.

By creature at 10:33 PM ON 12/22/07

idiot plus poison equals Darwin award.

By neviboy at 3:15 PM ON 01/02/08

gold poop,shiny poop,bling bling poop,comes down to one thing,it's stinking poop

!!!!!!!!!shit stinks no matter where it comes from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By ET at 8:50 PM ON 01/03/08

Most of you are too young to remember these once upon a time, however, I'll mention it anyway...a re-invention of the gold certificate perhaps?

By SHITHOLE at 10:26 PM ON 01/03/08

makes my doo-doo twankle

By Thyhack at 11:18 AM ON 01/04/08

I eat poop.

By TwixTwofingers at 4:06 PM ON 01/07/08

Is this pure-strain gold?

By sailbad at 4:34 PM ON 01/14/08

Wow! That would ALMOST make diarreah funny!

By WAFFLEIROn at 1:38 AM ON 01/16/08

By LEODASCROTE at 4:30 PM ON 12/11/07

why not just flush $425 down the toilet?

Yea but if your going to flush it, you might as well shit it out golden.

By LoloMontana at 2:28 PM ON 01/31/08

My dog ate a bunch of sequins one time, it was the sparkliest poo I ever saw.

By GI Tract at 7:17 PM ON 02/07/08

You can't digest gold, so putting it through your digestive tract will not give you poisoning, and hence why the put it in products like Goldschlager and high end foods (look it up, gold plated food is not unheard of). But yes, if you injected gold into your blood stream or brain (since that's really what matters) you might become stupid enough to buy this product.

I personally believe that it's satire, folks. With the target being people like Oobs who thinks this is "the most ballinist thing you could do". The feeling that everything is a fashion accessory, everything about you should be beautiful or reflect wealth. Hence, the joke "to increase your self worth." If you think taking these pills will actually do that, then the joke is on you.

But perhaps the artist should just talk about poop, since that's what the discussion of his work is reduced to.

By OK at 6:58 PM ON 02/18/08

in Dubai they do stuff like that all the time they eat gold cover chocolate and just waist gold in is rediculous

By doubelB at 6:06 AM ON 02/22/08

give it to your dog...then the neighbours might not be so mad if your dog does it on their lawn ;-)

By FOW at 12:28 AM ON 02/29/08

I need this!

By Kitsune at 11:15 AM ON 02/29/08

Rags...

Gold doesn't keep you young. Your body can't digest it and therefore cannot pull any nutritional or mineral value from it.

Nothing can keep you young. Your body is always aging and no amount of minerals you suck down will prevent it. You can eat right and take supplements and it will somewhat help aging to make itself apparent, but just because it helps you look a little younger, it doesn't stop you from growing older. And NO, gold is NOT one of those minerals. It does NOTHING for your body and has no use whatsoever.

The only reason people believe that sort of thing is because they allow themselves to be dooped by celebrities and wack jobs proclaiming that their new age miracle cures really do work.

The reason your celebrity has stayed young for years? It's called money. And lots and lots of plastic surgery. SCIENCE proves what works and what doesn't. Not moronic celebrities that have nothing better to do with their time then trick people into thinking products really work.

By stupidface at 7:20 PM ON 03/17/08

it probably gives u cancer

By zipperhead at 12:30 PM ON 04/17/08

F_N stupid. Why not donate that money to a humane shelter for animals, childrens cancer fund, etc., What a moronic species we've become.

By mcauleyali at 11:31 AM ON 04/23/08

for real...do it! its amazing dawg, on the real

By brandon at 6:08 AM ON 05/29/08

why pay so much for the pill when you can just eat some gold shavings, same thing.

By Gordon Frohman at 8:11 PM ON 06/23/08

foa shizzy mah nezzi.

these make mah bitch have big flabby boobies hard nigga. them tassles are gold.

By floetry at 4:30 PM ON 06/24/08

I know if you have 425 bucks to waste dont do it,
give me the 425 bucks and I will personally shove gold crayolas up your ass and you will never want to shit again. This is almost as smart as the pill itself.


psh.

this proves a lot of rich people are simply idiots, why not give this to a cancer foundation instead of being vain with your shit?


By BadassPenguin at 4:21 AM ON 06/25/08

OK so basically, ya, glitter can kill you.
So can gold, let alone the poisoning.

This would be soo perfect for some emo poser with a rich daddy who is never home.

By video poker advice at 11:27 PM ON 06/30/08

Another success was the fact that the journalists’ train to Heiligendamm was blockaded several times. Demonstrators had promised to block all entry points to the summit and did not spare the privileged media.
video poker advice
There was an attempt to transport journalists via boat to Heiligedamm which failed due to wild waters, so that the media had to return to the village to report on other events than the scheduled G8 press junkets. Excepting Volkskrant journalist Hans Wansink, who, already in the run-up to the summit, had given his approval of every state utterance whilst relentlessly mocking demonstrators.
