Two sisters from Virginia are selling a corn flake that looks like the state of Illinois on eBay. In a related story, all corn flakes are shaped like the state of Illinois.

Unless you turn it upside down. Then they look like Michigan.

The bid on it as of now is $255. What the bidder has apparently failed to realize is that the corn flake is not the actual size of Illinois.

A warning to all Internet auction participants: Be careful who you deal with online, especially when it comes to breakfast foods. You never know when you might encounter a cereal killer.
