The $28K Sandwich That Grew No Mold – How the Virgin Mary’s grilled cheese stayed mold-free for 10 years.
With a winning bid of $28,000, the online casino GoldenPalace.com won the auction for one of eBay’s most coveted oddities: a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich, one side of which bears the Virgin Mary’s image. The seller, Diana Duyser of Hollywood, Fla., claims that the sandwich never sprouted a single spore of mold, despite having been stored in a less-than-airtight plastic box. Is it possible for a decade-old sandwich to remain mold-free without divine intervention?
Heh heh heh.
