It's now official: the Illinois-shaped cornflake auctioned off by two sisters from Virginia has ended, with the winner buying the cornflake for $1,350 dollars.
The winner is the owner of a trivia web site who plans to add the cornflake to its traveling museum. "We're starting a collection of pop culture and American items, and we thought this was a fantastic one," said owner Monty Kerr of Austin, Texas.
Kerr owns the web site TriviaMania.com, and he will send someone to pick up the Illinois shaped cornflake by hand so it won't get damaged. Kerr once bought what was billed as the world's biggest cornflake, but was damaged during delivery.
