With a generation that is consistently obsessed with avocado, one can easily expect unconventional new avocado creations every now and then. But here’s a new one that is a definite eye-popper: A Solid Gold Avocado Bagel Toast.
Symbolising the millennial demographic also described as the Avocado Toast Generation, German contemporary artist Tim Bengel pieced together a fascinating curation of the avocado toast, made entirely from 18k solid gold that costs $3 million!

The artwork is a 3D sculptural design that is made using 27 different parts which amount to over 12 pounds of 18-karat gold. These include two bagel halves, five tomato slices, 10 arugula leaves, five onion rings and five avocado strips.
