If you could have 50 pounds of anything other than money, what would you want most of all?

Uhm, gold.

Gold. Or coconut cream pie. One or the other.

Gummy bears. I’d swim in them.

Gummy worms are also acceptable.

Hierloom seeds. Of course, right now my garden is looking like it could use a fifty pound pile of compost.

Traps would be good too, since I could feed myself a long time with fifty pounds worth of conibear traps. Fifty pounds of ammo would likewise get me a lot of meat.

Apparently I like things that produce a lot of food for small cost/weight, and keep producing.

And yea, gold would be nice too, in that I would buy many of the aforementioned things with the money.

Californium-252 (just google it’s value), provided that it’s safely contained. Otherwise… diamonds, I’m not that greedy.

I’ll have 50 pounds of Diamonds, please.

50 pounds of tritium is worth about $680,388,555. That’ll do.

Fat disappear-er. I’d apply it where I want it and I’d be less fluffy!

50 lbs. of daffodils would suit me and would also please future generations.

Today I see about 5000 bulbs in bloom. But I have space for many more

For the people too lazy to google Californium-252 is about $350 billion per pound, so it would be $17.5 trillion-ish.

Negative bodyweight. :D

Pillows! Man I would have a whole ocean of pillows. ^^

Francium. It is terribly expensive (since there are only ever a few grams in existence at a time), and it would be great fun pioneering large scale chemical reactions with it. I’d love to throw a 1kg lump of it into a lake!

Berserker's avatar

@noelleptc That would rule. When I was a kid I used to wish that I had a huge, flying pillow that could fly me to school while I slept on it. But this would be the next best thing!

Silver or golf balls….coin toss.

Some kind of delicious cheese! Gruyere, sharp English cheddar, Gouda, Brie, Swiss. Yum!

lillycoyote's avatar

50 pounds of cheesecake doled to me out over a period of years. That would be great.

anartist's avatar

I’d rather give away 50 lbs.
LOL

lillycoyote's avatar

@anartist LOL. You’re right! Is that an option? Forget the cheesecake.

WasCy's avatar

I’m going to change my answer to: fifty pounds of kissing.

KateTheGreat's avatar

Give me 50 pounds of weed. Actually, no.

I’ll take 50 pounds of peanut butter. It’s the best substance in the world.

ucme's avatar

Ooh, can I deal out fifty pounds on a paedophiles head with a blunt tool please? Maybe a claw hammer or a good sized torque wrench.

math_nerd's avatar

I always wanted a blanket made of kittens.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

@math_nerd: My great aunt used to stitch quilts of rabbits, I could probably round one up for you.

Brains. Actual functioning cells, not a tumor.

I figure that with enough intelligence, I can get just about anything else I want. I could invent the holodeck, come up with a business plan to turn that into at least 50 tons of money, and possibly achieve some sort of critical mass and develop psionic powers.

LukeFonFabre's avatar

Money

College is so expensive.

Plutonian Nyborg. I have only one bag left in the transmitter compartment.

“Think that’s enough?”
“Nah, man. Go for broke!”
“Good thinking, man!”
“NOSE DIVE!”

stardust's avatar

@noelleptc Haha:) It’s the colour, honest! All the same, I can think of worse perks;)

everephebe's avatar

Assorted oil paints would also be grand.

koanhead's avatar

Positronium – as @everephebe says, safely contained.
A mass of pure antimatter of that magnitude would be less than half the value; the containment would constitute the other half.

I’m not even going to attempt to calculate how much it would be worth. Suffice to say, it could buy the Solar System (in that I estimate there’s enough energy contained there to get anywhere in the system, get what you want, and bring it back- as many times as you like.)

I await correction by those who can be arsed to calculate it.

well if marijuana wasn’t illegal..

Beef jerky. Love the stuff.
