Ebay

On EBay I found many weird Items for sale from empty jars to guys selling their girlfriends. But I picked a corn flake. One corn flake for sale for the price of $7.50. “The ONLY “California Corn Flake” Coupon…..*L@@K*” Item Specifies: Weirdness, slightly unusual, Type, Cornflake, Item type, Kellogg’s the condition is uneaten and the subject area is Cereal Collectables. First off the cornflake does not even look like California maybe the top half of California but that’s it. Second the price for an entire box of Cornflakes does not cost $7.50. This is what the seller had to say:

“Though eBay's policy states that we cannot sell consumable food products, thus the reason we must auction a coupon. The coupon entitles the winning bidder to collect said flake at the auction's conclusion. Please note that we wish that bidding on the auction should be for the SERIOUS collector of state, and or cereal memorabilia alike. The flake is in no way consumable. The "Great State of California Corn Flake" will be shipped in a Macy's jewelry box. The flake will rest between two pieces of cotton to ensure flake does not move during transport. The winning bidder will recieve a coupon via e-mail.
The "Great State of Califonia Cornflake" was found in a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. It has not been doctored or changed, this is exactly how we found it. It would make a great conversation piece and a great piece of folk art.
Feel free to look in our profile to see where ALL the money will be going. That's right, we don't want any trips to anywhere special. We would just appriciate a chance to get our little girl something new instead of hand-me downs. We sure would like to think that it might be possible with the sale of this corn flake. Please give us the support, tell your friends and/or local news. Thank you!”

And Yes those spelling errors were already there I copy pasted right off of the site.
