Beef Jerky that looks like USA map – $50
It is a vacuum sealed package of beef jerky that resembles a map of the USA, without Florida. See picture.
Oh, goody! I’ll put it right next to my Sistine Chapel ceiling tile.
If you turn it on its side, it sort of looks like an obscene SpongeBob Squarepants, too.
Sent in by Becci — thanks!
This type of stuff is pretty much like looking at the clouds or a Rorschach test.
If it doesn’t have Florida, it doesnt look like a US map.
Even with Florida, it would be coincidental, but not worth $50 …..unless it came packaged with 49 dollars in cash.
And to me, it looks like a Bull with one horn missing sitting like Buddha.
I spent (wasted?) all of my twenties living in Florida. That map looks about right to me.
OOH! this is the rarer post Bush era one.
I guess the seller doesn’t know that the only food worth shelling out the big bucks for is food that looks like religious figures.
I would buy this if it looked like the U.S. without California…
Oddly, it’s a near-perfect Ohio.
If the seller could just find somebody with a jerky Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Indiana, he’d probably have a sale.
Wow. Some folks have gotten pretty desperate haven’t they? Maybe it’s SpongeBob’s creepy uncle SpongBill. (I’m hoping people remember the spong holder post.) Looking forward to Vol. 300 tomorrow, keep up the great work!
Yay, thanks for posting my beef jerky! Well, not MY beef jerky, but…er…
…what makes it even weirder than someone trying to sell a chunk of beef jerky shaped like the U.S. (without Florida) for fifty bucks is that s/he is selling it on the Vancouver, Canada Craigslist.
I guess it’s as likely to sell here as it is in the U.S…i.e., not at all likely.
If someone pays $50 for that I’m going to hunt him down and stab him in the face.
I would have guessed it looked liked 3 frogs pleasuring a snake. Damn, I’m terrible at these things.
I have a slice of cheese that is in the perfect shape of Wyoming – $60……….
OMG! ive always wanted a piece of jerky shaped like the US minus FL!!!! *breaks open piggy bank filled with life savings*
I HOPE THEY HAVENT SOLD IT YET!
Again quoting the line from the Simpsons: “Florida??? But that’s the wang of the nation!!!”
Actually it’s “Florida?? But that’s America’s wang!”
Actually, it looks like a smushed up piece of fecal matter.
How do I know this is really beef jerky and not some dried piece of human innards? This is CL, after all!
We shall bless him/her for him/her to offer us the holy grail of Beef Jerky.
The one and only Beef Jerky looking like a U.S. map. Without Florida. and Alaska. and Hawaii. and Puerto Rico. and Guam. and the Virgin Islands. and the Northern Mariana Islands. and American Samoa. and the Midway Islands. and some other hideously small and farfaraway islands nobody really cares about anyway.
Thank you, Sir/Lady. After all the Jesus and Mary Chain alike toasts, potato chips, tacos, leader beans and so on, my set of things that look like other things is now complete. Thank you for offering it at the allmighty Craigslist. Thank you for not just realising that your Beef Jerky looks like a map of the USA – although without Florida. and Alaska. and Hawaii. and… – and then unwrapping it and eating it. Eating it, just like every other normal, mentally healthy person would do. No, oh No! You resisted! You waisted your time and ours with your ability of remembering the shape of your home country (without Florida. and Alaska. and Hawaii. and…). Although you might struggle to find it on a world map.
