EXPENSIVE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWITCH
Diana Duyser, a resident of Florida.
On this day in 2004 a grilled cheese sandwich with toast
bearing an image of the Virgin Mary sold on eBay for
$28,000.
The seller claimed the 10-year-old sandwich had never
sprouted any mold.

REMEMBER THESE? THEY STILL WORK FINE

The P-38 is a foldable carbon steel can opener that was
issued with canned United States military rations from
its introduction in 1942 to the end of canned ration
issuance in the 1980s.
Originally distributed in the K-ration, it was later included
in the C-ration. A larger later variant is known as the P-51.

POP-TART DEBUT ON THIS DAY IN 1964
On September 14, 1964, the Kellogg’s Company began selling
the Pop-Tart. The innovative portable-breakfast-treat-turned-
anytime-snack would go on to sell billions annually and help
redefine the breakfast food market.
It all started when one of Kellogg’s biggest competitors, Post
Consumer Brands, trumpeted to the press that it had created
an innovative new breakfast item: a shelf-stable, fruit-filled,
handheld toaster pastry called “Country Squares.”
It sounded like the ultimate grab-and-go convenience food.
Anticipation ran high. Problem was, their pastry wasn’t quite
ready for market.
While Post dragged its feet on the actual product release,
Kellogg’s—having heard the announcement, rushed to push
out its own version.
