2. Virgin Marry Sandwich ($28,000)
Sandwich is not just a street food. It is commonly found in every household, especially in United States. It is arguably the most popular food for lunch, taken to work, school or picnics.
The word “sandwich” is considered to be the namesake of John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. It is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread so he could play cards while eating without getting the cards greasy.
Have you ever heard about a sandwich that brings good luck?
Diane Duyser had that kind of sandwich once. On her regular day of autumn 1994, Mrs. Duyser made a sandwich. She took a bite and then she noticed the image of Virgin Marry on the toasted bread. It startled her and she did not finish the sandwich. She kept it in a plastic box.
Since then, a lot of good things happened to her, including winning $70,000 at casino near her house in Florida. So, she kept the sandwich as her lucky charm for 10 years before selling it on eBay in November 2004. It was sold at $28,000 to Goldenpalace.com, a Canadian online casino. And according to Guinness Book of World Records, this sandwich is the most expensive sandwich sold at online auction.
