Gift Idea: New Flaming Lips Chocolate Skull with a Willy Wonka-Like Gold Coin Inside

No one does weird packaging for their releases like the Flaming Lips.  The latest offering comes with a human skull made of chocolate with a gold coin buried inside its “brain.”  Why?  Death and Taxes got this quote from Wayne Coyne:

It’s all made out of chocolate, it’s a life-size human skull, a life-sized human brain, and the brain is actually sliding out of the skull made with this brain fluid flavored hard-candy. And there’s a little magic coin inside that brain that you’re supposed to dig out. I think it’s supposed to get you into any Flaming Lips show in the world. I think that’s our intention.

Only 2,000 editions are available and they go on sale Christmas Eve.  Good luck.
