GoldenPalace.com buys 'Virgin Mary' pretzel Saint Paul, NE - GoldenPalace.com, an Internet casino that previously bought a partially eaten grilled cheese sandwich with the likeness of the Virgin Mary for $28,000, now has a pretzel that some believe is shaped like the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Antigua-based GoldenPalace.com swooped in about 30 seconds before bidding closed Wednesday evening on the Internet auction site eBay. The winning bid: $10,600. 'What it says to me is that this pretzel is so much more than an edible item. We only paid $3.29 for the whole bag,' said Machelle Naylor, who sold the snack from her home in St. Paul. Golden Palace spokesman Jon Wolf said the casino acquires such items for a variety of reasons. 'We think the notoriety is worth it,' Wolf said. Naylor's 12-year-old daughter, Crysta, said she discovered the Rold Gold honey-mustard-flavored pretzel while snacking and watching television with her family on Feb. 27. Some other GoldenPalace.com acquisitions to date include henna tattoo advertising on a pregnant woman's stomach, sponsorship of a birth, and purchasing the McDonald's Lincoln Fry. « Back to Auctions Events Main Page Comments on this event On September 27th, 2005 at 11:41 PM k1n6 said: what person in their right mind would spend 10k on a pretzel , send me some money and i could bake you one :) On December 20th, 2005 at 3:06 PM VIRONICA said: WOW THIS IS COOL!!
