Wenchy blows a wad on eBay

An online bidding war is taking place for a five-year-old Wispa bar.
Student Rebecca Wells, from Stoke-on-Trent, found the out-of-date Cadbury bar down the back of a sofa.

She has put it up for auction on the eBay site to raise money for the charity LAM Action, which funds research into a fatal lung disease.

The Birmingham firm stopped making Wispa bars in 2003. It brought them back as a trial in October following an internet campaign.

So far bidding for the bar has reached more than £200 - hundreds of times its original sale price.


I never knew chocolate was such a good investment!

I confess I found the title of this thread a tad misleading ... clearly I have been visiting too many of Berek's recommended sites.   redface:
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
