Well, the eBay auction is over and a trivia store owner bought the cornflake for $1350.00. Amazing! Everyone will be looking through their cereal, now. http://www.wfsb.com/news/15674082/detail.html?treets=hart&tid=2659066709813&tml=hart_irr&tmi=hart_irr_1_01300303222008&ts=H

I read about this in my local paper last week and didn't even think it looked like my state. What some ppl would do to make money and the sap-suckers who are willing to shell out so much for something like this.

Isn't that something. Some people have so much money that they don't know what to spend it on. One flake of cereal, who would have thunk it. I had one that looked like Ohio, but damm I ate it, hehe. If only I would have known.

That is quite a story but to my eye that cornflake doesn't look much like the State of Illinois. I hope the sellers, if they do spend the money on a vacation at least go to Chicago or something. My goodness!

I saw that cornflake and it didn't look any different than any other cornflakes I've ever seen. I think all cornflakes look like the state of Illinois in my eyes. I guess some people have too much money and need to spend it on something. I wish they would spend it on me and my artwork.
