Tinley Park, Ill -- A woman in Tinley Park, Ill., is selling an
Illinois-shaped potato chip on
eBay after she read about two Virginia sisters doing the same with
a cornflake.
Erin Morris is auctioning off an Illinois-shaped Lay's Classic potato
chip in an effort to raise money for
treatment her pet ferret's adrenal disease, the Chicago Daily Southtown
reported Thursday.
She reportedly noticed her unusual chip Tuesday while eating a
sandwich and reading about Melissa and Emily McIntire, who auctioned
their Illinois-shaped cornflake.
"I noticed one of the chips in my hand looked familiar," Morris
said. "I flipped, flipped, flipped (through the newspaper pages).
I thought, 'Hey, my chip looks like Illinois, too!' "
The chip's highest bid is $6.50 on eBay and
the auction will end March 29.
