Or just eat a ton of kaju burfi covered in gold foil and then refine it out of your feces later

  I get the feeling that a lot of rough diamonds may be smuggled out this very way.

  > eat a ton [sic] of [...] ... anything, and see you in hospital, surely?

    Are you teying to make a lame joke about a ton being 2,000 pounds, versus the typical human digestive tract? Because that's just completely unfunny.

    Only if you overeat, or try to consume too large of a gold nugget that it creates an obstruction. Pure gold is very soft and won't chemically react with the body.

      “a ton” would most likely be overeating.

      I believe the parent post was alluding to this: https://www.google.com/search?q=one+ton+in+kg https://www.google.com/search?q=one+ton+in+kg :)

  Aren’t kaju burfis normally covered in silver? I’m sure a gold one would stand out (plus, I’m sure the sweet probably costs more than the gold you’d be putting on it, and you can’t recover that).

    > Aren’t kaju burfis normally covered in silver? Well in India it might be some other metal like Aluminium.

      I'd hope not - high doses of aluminium can cause considerable irreversible damage to the brain, see e.g. the Camelford poisoning[0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelford_water_pollution_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelford_water_pollution_inci...
