eBay Cancels Corn Flake Auction

You probably heard that Melissa McIntire, 23, and her sister Emily, 15, of Chesapeake, Virginia had been auctioning a corn flake in the shape of Illinois on eBay - but they were surprised to find that the auction had been canceled by eBay.

The real reason is that Tony The Tiger ate it.

I bet the girls really have a little brother and he broke it showing it to some friends. Little brothers always ruin everything!

(I should know, I used to be one.)

Breaking rules for food-related postings? What? This would be considered a collectible item and I hope someone foolish enough to pay what they were asking would not be foolish enough to eat it.

I still have my jesus cornflake, working on a set of the disciples...hey, new breakfast cereal- Holios!

[proteroglyph]

Holios- a blessing in every box. Prizes- Plastic dashboard Jesus or a Jesus fish for your car. Scriptual quotes on the back of the box.

What I get is the stupidity of Fruit Loops.$1,000 for a Corn Flake!?!?

Besides I already have one in the shape of Illinois. I only need Florida and Oklahoma to complete all 50 states.

Open the box, there's one piece of cereal inside, but you have breakfast for 5000
