Fun with Corn Flakes

BLOG – Clever Copycats Try to Cash in on “The Great Illinois Corn Flake”

Will the Real “Great Illinois Corn Flake” Please Stand Up?

The latest $200,444 bid for the giant Illinois shaped corn flake being offered for sale on Ebay has inspired some impostors. There are dozens of “Great Illinois Cornflake” lookalikes and related items now being offered for sale on Ebay. You can check it out by clicking on this link. You’ll find a seller offering a “Great Illinois Corn Flake T-Shirt” for $5,000,

a Great Illinois Corn Flake display frame for $24.00,

a piece of torn paper in the shape of “The Great Illinois Corn Flake” for $0.01,

and, perhaps my favorite, a very eloquent and poignant Corn Flake Sign from Illinois for $99.99.

 

PS…I admit that I actually dumped some of our corn flakes on my desk last night to see if I could find any cool and unusual shapes.  Nothing interesting…they all look the same.  Maybe we ARE onto something super special here.
