Money Road coffee temptation = 150 euro

We chatted about the price of coffee, dwelling on the more or less significant price increases.

We commented on the gold leaf coffee served in Dubai.

Now apparently coffee is a rather expensive temptation.

Have you had a chance to follow the new Money Road TV show?

I actually watched it by chance as a rerun was being broadcast on free-to-air channel, let’s say, not exactly prime time.

I found it interesting because some time ago I had responded to a survey on a shortlist of names for a new format.

I have already told you that I participate in polls and tests and well without divulging the details, the TV show was Sky’s latest product on temptation.

Twelve people have to go on a rather extreme and spartan trek through the jungle to win a group jackpot, but along the way they encounter very expensive temptations whose price is paid by everyone.

One of these temptations is coffee!

Sure, coffee in the jungle is comparable to a mirage, but would you accept to pay 150 euros for it with the money you share with eleven other people?

Temptation or sacrifice, communion or selfishness, sharing or prevarication?

How important can a coffee be?

Obviously this question is a provocation, and obviously also the casting of the participants was done in such a way as to represent a cross-section of the uneven mass that represents people today.

Anyone could then recognise the similar gender to some of their colleagues, or see the type that reflects a certain slice of the neighbourhood.

Do you think we can transpose the jungle, the group, the temptations into an unvarnished and perhaps even banal metaphor?

How do you relate to other people?

Would you give in to coffee temptation?
