Virgin Mary In Grilled Cheese

Quote:

A Florida woman who said her 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich bore the image of the Virgin Mary will be getting a lot more bread after the item sold for $35,814.79 on eBay.

GoldenPalace.com, an online casino, confirmed it placed the winning bid, and company executives said they were willing to spend "as much as it took" to own the 10-year-old half-sandwich with a bite out of it.

"It's a part of pop culture that's immediately and widely recognisable," spokesman Monty Kerr told The Miami Herald.

"We knew right away we wanted to have it."

Photos posted on eBay show what can be viewed as a woman's face emblazoned on the sandwich, a bite taken out of one end. Bidding closed on Monday.

In a statement, GoldenPalace CEO Richard Rowe said he planned to use the sandwich to raise money for charity.

Mr Kerr and Steve Baker, CEO of GoldenPalace's management company, Cyberworld Group, flew to south Florida on Monday to make arrangements for a sandwich handover from its owner, Diana Duyser.

"I would like all people to know that I do believe that this is the Virgin Mary, Mother of God," Ms Duyser, a work-from-home jewellery designer, said in the casino's statement.

The online auction site initially pulled the sale, saying it didn't post joke items.

The page was restored after the company was convinced that Ms Duyser would deliver on the bid, said eBay spokesman Hani Durzy.

Ms Duyser said she took a bite after making the sandwich 10 years ago and saw a face staring back at her. She put the sandwich in a clear plastic box with cotton balls and kept it on her night stand. She said the sandwich had never sprouted a spore of mold

Here's the actual Ebay auction.

Is it just me or does it not really look like the Virgin Mary? Doesn't it look a little more like:

Gwen Stefani?

:hmm:

I guess it would be hard to get $28,000.00 for a ten year old Gwen Stefani Grilled Cheese sandwich. *shrug*

$35,814.79?!? For a grilled cheese sandwich? Um...no. Not even if it were Alyson Hannigan's face on it. :lol:

I was folowing this just too see what the final price would be, and wow that's a oot of money for a grilled cheese sandwich.

Also I liked looking at the other items that were trying to cash in on the sandwich like the people mwho would put "virgin mary", or "grilled cheese" in their item just to get the extra traffic. Good stuff

that's not mary, the virgin mother of jesus!

nope.
it's bernadette peters.

Too bad it's not a Virgin Cheese in Grilled Mary, because I would totally buy that.

Grill Mary, Full of Cheese
Thy bread is wheaty
presséd art thou amongst sandwiches
presséd to the griddle until the cheese is right
Yummy Mary, mother of Gouda, brie for our dinners, now until the hour of lunch.
Dig in.
