Illinois corn flake destined for road show

The Texas man who obtained a now-famous Illinois-shaped corn flake in an Internet auction says he will add it to his traveling road show.

Jon Wolf of Austin, who bought the flake for $1,350 on eBay and is the curator of triviamania.com, says he wants to feature the piece of breakfast cereal in his traveling museum of American oddities, the (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot reported Wednesday. Wolf received the high-priced flake this week at the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum in Williamsburg, Va.

The unusual cornflake was put up for auction after Emily McIntire, 15, of Chesapeake, Va., discovered it this month.

Some of the items featured in Wolf's show are Ron Howard's Happy Days jacket and Marilyn Monroe's 1962 date-book.

That's the most perfectly Illinois-shaped corn flake I've ever seen, Wolf said while McIntire handed him the cereal.
