San Diegans value chocolate more than precious metals

Given the choice between a free Hershey bar and a silver bar worth $150, people on the streets of San Diego chose the chocolate bar – another jaw-dropping illustration of how ignorant Americans are when it comes to precious metals.

Mark Dice’s previous video showed him attempting to sell the 10oz silver bullion for as little as 99 cents, with no takers. This time San Diegans didn’t even show an interest in receiving the silver for free, choosing the chocolate bar instead every time.

“I’ll take the chocolate bar,” says one woman as Dice tells her, “who needs a 10 ounce bar of silver, right?” as the woman physically recoils from it.

“Who needs a 10 ounce bar of silver when you can have a good delicipus bar of chocolate, right?” Dice tells another man who responds, “Yeah, exactly!”

“The Hershey bar, I can eat it, I can’t eat the silver bar,” remarks another man as he choose the chocolate over the bullion.

Another woman choses the Hershey bar, commenting, “I’m a girl and it’s been a cranky day.”

A man in a cap then sardonically asks, “silver?” before taking the chocolate bar.

A woman wearing sunglasses remarks, “I don’t have a way to do anything with the silver,” presumably unaware that she could exchange it for $150 at a coin shop just a few feet away. Ironically, the woman then becomes preoccupied with whether or not the Hershey bar is real.

“Is it real? It doesn’t seem real,” states the woman, to which Dice responds, “I mean we could go into this coin shop, we could verify this silver bar as real.”

“No, that’s alright,” responds the woman.

As precious metals specialist Addison Quale wrote in response to Dice’s previous silver bar video, “Americans have been tricked into believing precious metals are not valuable.”

Quale writes that the video illustrates how central bankers have created an “uninformed, uninterested, ignorant and pliable citizenry they can lead around by the nose,” having “essentially convinced the populace that gold and silver coins are ultimately impractical and just too old-fashioned” while making them firmly believe that promissory bank notes and certificates represent real money.
