Well, someone just did! The Ebay auction for “the world’s longest French Fry?” started at $1 and ended at $202.50. Now there is an even longer fry up for auction, along with a “shortest fry,” a graded French Fry collection, and an “invisible French Fry” — no picture with that last one, of course.
It astounds me that anyone would even bid on a French Fry. What on earth will you do with it when you get it? I shouldn’t think you could show it to your friends—wouldn’t they jeer at you for spending beaucoup bucks on a single fry, when you could get a whole bag of them at any fast food joint for less than a dollar? Is this really what you want your 15 minutes of fame to be: “He Spent $200 on a Single French Fry!”
