These 2 young ladies found a HUGE cornflake shaped just like the state of Illinois - they put it on Ebay, bidding soars - and Ebay cancels the auction saying it violated their food policy.
The story makes it to Fox News - lo and behold, the sisters were able to relist it as a coupon for sale for the cornflake in question and darn if it isn't a huge flake shaped just like Illinois.
Sorry - don't know how to do links, but here's the story and the auction:

I don't ordinarily read Fox News but one of the side stories on the Corn Flake Auction Page caught my attention:

Butt (pun intended) the story link provided by Neglus sends shivers down my spine, to the very base of my spine - OUCH.
The cornflake is over $1,300, but if you do a search for Illinois cornflake, the knock off auctions are just as entertaining - including the one for the photo of Senator Obama with cornflake ears.
