Condoleezza Rice and the Rice Cake: eBay.
By Bay Fang
In the latest of a series of unusual eBay offerings, a seller in upstate New York has put up for sale a "Condoleezza Rice Cake." In a photo on the listing, he juxtaposes a photo of a scowling Secretary of State with a slightly lumpy, but ordinary-looking, rice cake.
In the item description, under "Type: Caramel" and "Subject Area: Foreign Policy," the seller writes, "This Condoleezza Rice Cake expired on March 26, 2008. I think the real Condoleezza Rice will be with us until at least November. Unlike the real Condoleezza Rice, my rice cake really is an expert on foreign policy. It managed somehow to convince American kids that puffed rice was tasty."
The starting bid is 99 cents.
As the subject of a weird food posting, the Secretary of State will be in good company. Other snacks sold on ebay have included a pretzel in the shape of the Virgin Mary (which sold for $10,600 in 2005), and a 10-year-old Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich (with a bite taken out of it), which sold for $28,000 in 2004. Bidding is still open for French toast left over by popstar Justin Timberlake, but interested parties should be ready to fork over some real dough for that one - the price is already up to $3154.
