Mmmmm... Tasty potato chip. I want to eat it.
WhatIsThatThing @ Jan 12th 2008 12:16AM
Sigh.
BPM64 - The Second Attack! @ Jan 12th 2008 12:26AM
The product description and the Q&A are quite humourous.
gadgetdevil @ Jan 12th 2008 12:27AM
wow. why don't I go, buy some Ruffles, cut out a slice, and sell it on eBay.
Jansperus @ Jan 12th 2008 1:12AM
Don't you see? That wasn't cut or modified in any way! It is an unblemished chip in the image of Pacman! I'm definitely placing a bid. It might seem silly now, but it'll be worth thousands in a few years!
ThornedVenom @ Jan 12th 2008 12:59AM
Because you're plagiarizing artwork. D:
Mr.ESC @ Jan 12th 2008 1:24AM
When you're plagiarizing artwork you are supporting Communism!
Seriously who would pay thousands for that? In a few years it won’t look like Pac-man also that if the package is not deliver with extreme carefulness the poor sucka that buys it is going to receive crumbles.
StrangeBum @ Jan 12th 2008 2:09AM
Yeah, in a few years that won't look like pacman. Simply because in a few years, pacman will be redone next-gen (xbox720 style) to look like Commander Shepard with a large muscular torso and some insane vacuum gun (ala Luigi's Mansion) to chase the ghosts with. Duh!

That’s cool but what I meant is that in a few years unless is conserved in a bacteria-free storage unit it will be food for bacteria and other organisms not to mention fungus could grow on it.
ThornedVenom @ Jan 12th 2008 12:59AM
Sadly enough, this potato chip would have even more value if the seller claimed that you could see Jesus on it.
Mr.ESC @ Jan 12th 2008 1:28AM
Actually you can see Elvis AND Jesus if you flip the chip but the original owner didn't put that in the description because its auction would be lost in a sea of random stuff with the exact same image.
Aludra @ Jan 12th 2008 1:22AM
He'd get more selling the ruler.
Mr.ESC @ Jan 12th 2008 1:30AM
OMG I didn't notice until now but that the ruler resembles a piece of Tetris, I must get that.
StrangeBum @ Jan 12th 2008 2:19AM
Also, I didn't realize that pacman measured only roughly two inches. Poor little tyke, must be hungry, somebody get this chip some dots. The candy.
Conrad Quilty-Harper @ Jan 12th 2008 1:46AM
And he's not even the first...

Zarifus @ Jan 12th 2008 1:52AM
Omg, that post even says:
"but it definitely won't be somebody selling a Pac-man potato chip."
LIES!!!
BPM64 - The Second Attack! @ Jan 12th 2008 2:24AM
Hiya, Conrad. Haven't seen you around these parts in a while.
StrangeBum @ Jan 12th 2008 2:15AM
I once thought about selling an unmarked 'mystery' can of soda on eBay once. I'm sure some fool out there would pitch some money for me to send him a can of diet pepsi or something just for the 'what could it be?' factor.
eBay scams are almost too easy. Someone should start getting more creative with them.
Psaakyrn @ Jan 12th 2008 2:20AM
Too late, it's already a brand. :p

BPM64 - The Second Attack! @ Jan 12th 2008 2:27AM
That actually looks pretty cool. Too bad it's in Singapore only. :/
Maybe they'll strike a deal with an American company for distribution over here...
License to ill @ Jan 12th 2008 2:18AM
Any retard who bids on this shit should not be allowed to procreate...
BPM64 - The Second Attack! @ Jan 12th 2008 2:28AM
There are many worse reasons for people not being allowed to breed... But I guess this wouldn't hurt, either.
waynski1457 @ Jan 12th 2008 2:29AM
dont worry, any retard who bids on this probably hasnt and wont.
giantenemycrab @ Jan 12th 2008 2:34AM
How would he ship that without it breaking?
Psaakyrn @ Jan 12th 2008 3:16AM
In a bag of chips
playwhutyalike (kinda digs Manhunt 2) @ Jan 12th 2008 9:15AM
PACMAN!!!! Wake Up! Please wake up! You're not dead.........you're not dead......PLEASE....(cries softly)...
Eto @ Jan 12th 2008 10:02AM
The link to the Ebay auction is broken.

Wakka wakka wakka wakka.
Ranko @ Jan 12th 2008 2:48PM
Moldy Chip Pac-Man FTW!
Cancerboy @ Jan 12th 2008 2:50PM
OMG what happened to Pacman's lower jaw? You all act like you don't see it. Was he in an accident? Attacked by a tiger?
Rob Accomando @ Jan 12th 2008 8:15PM
I'd be more impressed if there were ghosts and power pellets too.
vectorelement @ Jan 13th 2008 10:43PM
I've saved a blue M&M shaped like the Ocarina of Time. Just incase, because... well... you never know when you'll have to save Zelda.
...yeah
