Materialism & Wealth FlexingA little

The mention of 'edible gold' and ordering a second cone for the visual spectacle carries a mild tone of luxury spending, but it is not the central focus and lacks aggressive wealth-flexing language.

Low-Quality, Extreme & Stunt ContentA little

The 'viral' framing and 'so satisfying to watch' commentary suggest mild stunt-driven interest, but it is a short, genuine food-preparation observation — not an endurance gimmick or destructive spectacle.
