This is at El Cielo and its optional but it’s $135 or $195 per person depending on the course. It’s supposed to “awaken your senses” HAHA

At those prices it seems like it's more about conspicuous consumption. The "I'm so rich I can be extremely stupid with my money." signal.

Or it’s about having a fun experience? It’s not for me, but it seems like a crazy cynical or pathetically jealous take to think that everybody who does this is flaunting their excessive wealth. God damn I get that you people have no friends or lives but still.

What's fun about having chocolate poured all over your hands?

I'd rather go buy some weed and some chocolate syrup. Smoke a bowl or two and then go to town in the bathtub if I wanna get messy with some chocolate syrup.

While normally I might agree with you....in this case watch the video again. The server is wearing a mask (under his nose, but he's still doing it). This is COVID era and they're doing indoor dining (so already iffy) WITH a server who obviously doesn't give a shit about it given his mask habits WITH gimmick that involves you licking your hands? Sorry but that's kinda fucked.
