CHICAGO | Sounds a little flaky, but someone has offered more than $3,000 on eBay for a piece of breakfast cereal that is touted as a lookalike to the state of Illinois.
Emily McIntire, 15, and her sister, Melissa, 23, from Chesapeake, Va., listed “The Great Illinois Corn Flake” on the online auction site, promising it has undergone no alterations.
They are offering free shipping to Illinois.
“At the moment it’s residing in a fine jewelry box with a lot of cotton wrapped around it to keep it safe,” said Melissa McIntire.
