P.T. Barnum may have been right

Or rather his competitor was. I was looking at yesterday's paper and found that a Salem man was auctioning off a Dorito chip that supposedly looks like the Pope's mitre (the tall hat the pope wears). Well, the winning bidder has paid a hefty $1,209 for said chip. OK, you must be thinking, who would paid $1,209 for a dang chip? GoldenPalace.com that's who. They were the winning bidder and the company has probably turned an opportunity by the seller to cash in on some sucker bid to essentially getting paid advertising for themselves. (It makes me cringe that they're getting free publicity from this post.) It's a win-win opportunity for both parties.

The seller actually set up a website for the chip as well. I was looking at the actual photo of the chip and thought, "How many other thousands of chips look like this? Oy.". Only in America, kids.
