Morning Buzz for Thursday 3/20/08 - $100 for a corn flake?

Today's buzz comes to us from CBS affiliate WTKR in Virginia.
Two sisters from Virginia are auctioning off a corn flake they say is shaped like Illinois. 15 year old Emily McIntire and her 23-year old sister, Melissa, are selling "The Great Illinois Corn Flake" on the online auction site eBay.
Emily says she was enjoying her usual snack of Frosted Flakes when this particular one caught her attention.
The first listing on the site was cancelled after being in violation of the site’s food policy. But, now it’s back on listed as a coupon to redeem the flake.
Bidding for the corn flake has exceeded $100.
Copycat items have popped up on eBay, including corn flakes shaped like Hawaii and Virginia. There's also a potato chip shaped like Florida, and Illinois corn flake paraphernalia, including T-shirts and buttons.
I have seen the corn flake… to me… it just looks like a corn flake. I’ll show you video of this in the morning. Tell me what you think!

That auction is currently at $1,025.00..with 61 bids..

..before Ebay pulled it the last time..it exceeded $200,000.00…

I was the high bidder there for awhile..

I cant prove it..but I think Bob Juback keeps out-bidding me..wink

Personally I think it favors one of Chris’ weather maps..that’s why I keep bidding on it..

My intentions were to win this corn flake and run by Piggly Wiggly and grab about 2 teaspoons of milk..and drop by the station and treat you guys to breakfast..

..course after seeing all those people handling it..we’re gonna have to wash it first..


Chris autographing a corn flake..*lol*..that’s something that even his great-grand kids would laugh about in years to come..wink

After my third cup of coffee today. I “created” something that has a striking resemblance to Obama.

That’s a great idea Donna, but don’t you think $50K is a little ambitious?  May want to make the opening bid on a Chris Still signature driveway around 50 cents with a “buy it now” price of $1.  It MIGHT be worth that much.  Now a Cecil Chandler autograph…THAT’S a different story!:-)

oh come on Chris,,you know you got it like dat..lol,,but hey if someone will pay that much for a corn flake with no autograph,,can you imagine how much they would pay for a autographed stone that resembles elvis’s grave???...lol…omg we could make thousands…this is to funny for me..have people lost it or what??lollllllll

If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is “thank you,“ that would suffice.

It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race.

It is fortunate to be of high birth, but it is no less so to be of such character that people do not care to know whether you are or are not.

Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.
