CHICAGO (AP) - Two sisters from Virginia who are trying to sell
a corn flake shaped like the state of Illinois on eBay have been
forced to rework their auction.
The Web site canceled their first listing because the sisters
say the company told them it violated their food policy.
The flake is now back online in the form of a coupon. The
winning bidder will be able to redeem the coupon for the actual
flake.
Copycat items have popped up on eBay, including corn flakes
shaped like Hawaii and Virginia and a potato chip that bears a
resemblance to Florida.
Bidding on the Illinois flake -- which has topped 700-dollars --
ends Friday.
