The flake is the person who bought it.

Norad		2008-03-16 08:43:53 PM

The folks auctioning the flake are from Virginia. If you turn the flake on it's side, it vaguely resembles Virginia.

They missed a prime opportunity to cater to the home crowd. Hell, they might have suckered forty bucks out of some fellow Virginians.

I have two animal crackers fused together like they are humping, I can probably get a 20 spot for that.

productiveslacker		2008-03-16 09:44:39 PM

Not the one I have, but did find the humping animal crackers on ebay

Colorado shaped wheat thins, while collectible, are fairly common. Wyoming shaped wheat thins are much more valuable.

The woman featured on CBS This Morning, Myrtle Young (new window), who collects potato chips in odd shapes should throw in a bid.

I'll have you know that I'm shaped more like a potato than like Illinois.

IT'S A FLAAAKE!

Good thing they put the flake next to the dime in the pic so we know its not the size of a car.

I once found a piece of popcorn that looked exactly like a leaping bunny! I placed it on the corner of a coffee table and left the room. It was,unfortunately,disposed of by an inattentive clod (and my roommate couldn't understand why I cared about a piece of popcorn but you had to have seen it)...sigh...the world will never know.

buy a dehydrator. Moisten your medium first and you'd get more reliable cuts (rather than shattering the flakes), then dehydrate like a shrinky-dink.

More bang for your buck than a Dremel.

I have a Frosted Flake shaped exactly like Uranus.

I'm kind of curious about the people who buy that stuff who aren't Golden Palace Casino. Who are these people that have too much money and room in their house?

Given the cash flow on ebay, I'm surprised you aren't being arrested for securities fraud or forgery or something.

If people are spending $20 on a single corn flake, then there danned sure isn't a recession going on.

/could be inflation though...

I will go on record, having seen the bran making thingy, that bran is a big sheet o' stuff before it's chunked up into flakes. I am sure that, if their livelihood depended on it, Kellogg's could make a single bran flake large enough to cover your house.

It's up to $56.

Instead of Illinois shaped corn flake, box contained giant crap.
Would not buy from again.
