Around the holidays, Neiman Marcus — or as it has come to be known, “Needless Markup” — is famous for offering extravagant gift options at astronomical prices. In this year’s Neiman Marcus “Christmas Book,” for example, you can buy the special lady in your life a “Reversible Sable Fur Vest and Puffer Jacket” for $16,500. Or perhaps you know someone who’d like a “Vintage Electric Bike” for $6,995.
But Christmas is still seven weeks away. At the moment, the internet is losing its collective mind over something the luxury retailer is selling for Thanksgiving dinner: Collard greens.
Yes, that’s right. Neiman Marcus advertised a side dish of collard greens, “seasoned with just the right amount of spices and bacon,” for $66.00 plus a $15.50 shipping fee.
If $80.00 strikes you as a tad high, you’re in the majority. And now, social media is dishing up a fair amount of shade.
