24-Carat Rubbish Bin Goes On Show

From beer bottles to food scraps, people throw away all kinds of rubbish.

But would you think twice about dumping such things in a bin made of gold?



A pedal bin made from 24-carat gold will go on show at an interiors exhibition in Scotland next weekend.

But Britons wanting to purchase the made-to-order bin, produced by Danish design company Vipp, will have to hand over a whopping £2,000.

Other pieces in the Golden Vipp Collection include a toilet brush holder selling for £1,600.

"Despite the expensive price tag, we are already receiving orders for the golden products from stylish homeowners across the world."

When we get around to constructing the guillotines, I suggest we just use platinum. It's a bit more hard-wearing.

1. I thought platinum was easier to bend????

Just more expensive???

You know I can get the same effect by spray-painting my toilet brush with a can of paint.

Bet you could hurl a piano a few hundred yards with that puppy. Probably hurl a gold trash can a quarter mile.
