EVER IMAGINED WHAT  a solid gold Winnie the Pooh would like like?

Silly question. Of course you have.  But now you no longer have to imagine: a store in Beijing has made the dream a slightly terrifying reality.

The gold Pooh Bear displayed at the Qianment store of Chow Tai Fook contains a total of 19,800 grams of gold. That’s just over 43 pounds of gold or just under 20 kgs.

In other words: a whole lot of gold.
