I am thinking it's for charity and donations to people who are needy and very less fortunate..

Yes, it's worth it if what i thought was correct.

My wife is a member of a teachers forum and it was the daughter of one of the other members who found the frosted flake. It was the idea of their father to put it on eBay for a laugh. They had no idea that it would create the stir that it has. It wasn't sold for charity. It was sold to a TriviaMania.com who have a traveling museum of items representing pop culture. It was sold by 3 sisters from Vermont and they will be using the money for a family vacation.

In answer to the OP's question, No... I don't believe that a frosted flake is worth $1350.00 but I guess someone did !!

First off - how did they even discover that the cornflake looked like - Vermont was it? I mean - do people routinely go through boxes of cornflakes looking for ones shaped like cities and states?

Secondly - how are they going to pack it for shipping...?

It was apparently shaped like the state of Illinois.

I guess some people don't have better things to do then look in cornflake boxes :lol:

The cornflake was shaped like Illinois and it wasn't found while deliberately searching through boxes and boxes. If you'd seen the size of it (it was about 2" from top to bottom) then you'd probably have pulled it out the bowl too, even if it didn't end up being shaped like a US state.

Secondly - how are they going to pack it for shipping...?

I believe that they mounted it in a display frame of some kind.

And a guy sold a snow bank in Montreal on Ebay a few months ago.

He had called a "nice snow bank".

Money did go to charity I believe.

Still, the world is going mad.

I'm certain of it. :yes:
