Ten-Year-Old Grilled Cheese Sandwich Is Back On E-Bay
E-Bay pulled the grilled cheese image of the Virgin Mary from its Web site, but reversed its decision Tuesday and put the 10-year-old sandwich back on the auction block.
Bids reached nearly $100,000 within hours after the sandwich was relisted.
Sandwich owner Diana Duyser says she spotted the image after she'd taken a bite out of the sandwich and saw the face staring back at her.
She put the sandwich up for sale last week and drew bids of as much as $22,000.
