A corn flake sold for $1,350.00 recently on Ebay. Why the high price? The corn flake was in the shape of the state of Illinois.

Why would anyone pay that much money for a corn flake in the shape of Illinois? Do they think that some collector will pay even more for the flake or doing plan to put it on display and charge admission?

It would take someone who is flaky to buy a corn flake for that much money and someone even flakier to pay to see it. As P.T. Barnum always said “there is a sucker born every minute.”
