“Eat the Rich” – Bite out of American Capitalism as Crunchy Popsicle

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer, who was also one of the ordinary persons, once said, “When the People shall have no more to eat, they will eat Rich” in 1793. 

To make his idea a reality, the MSCHF art collective created popsicle treats shaped like the faces of 5 selected tycoons and sold them at a high price of $10 per each.
