The £100,000 cornflake Bidding for a cornflake resembling the US state of Illinois has reached more than £100,000 on eBay.
Two sisters listed 'The Great Illinois Corn Flake' on the auction site, promising it had undergone no cosmetic alterations. Emily McIntire, a 15-year-old in high school from Chesapeake, Virginia, said she was grabbing fistfuls of cereal on her way to class when she found the flake. "It was almost to my mouth, it didn't look like Illinois at first because it was held the wrong way," she said. But then she noticed the resemblance and said: "Oh my goodness, it's Illinois." Her 23-year-old sister, Melissa, said their parents suggested selling it for fun. They're offering free shipping, providing the buyer is in Illinois. "At the moment it's residing in a fine jewellery box with a lot of cotton wrapped around it to keep it safe," said Melissa. The McIntire sisters say they've decided to use the proceeds from the eBay sale to buy more boxes of Frosted Flakes. "We've got to replace the one we've already sold," Melissa said. "We like cereal." | |

Ridiculous. I mean...it's not like it looks like Jesus or anything. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
