The £100,000 cornflake

[Sweetpea]

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."

Ahhh. I presume you were meaning to be taking the piss.

Did you know that one of the biggest sellers in Torist shops in the Highlands are tartan painted vacuum sealed cans, with Beer can ring pulls, of "Scotch air"?
