Virgin Mary Pretzel

image The latest 'spawn-of-Virgin-Mary-Grilled-Cheese-Sandwich' on eBay is the Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus Pretzel. This is a pretzel that may, if you're of the right frame of mind, look kind of like a Picasso-style rendition of the Virgin Mary holding the Baby Jesus. According to the description: "This totally unique and spiritual item was found by a 12 year old girl.  She was eating "Rold Gold" Honey Mustard flavored tiny twist pretzels, when she noticed the Virgin Mother holding Baby Jesus.  We all had a feeling of warmth and spirituality when holding the pretzel." The salty pretzel has been receiving news coverage, and bidding on it has already passed $1,000 with three days to go.

It looks more like a slightly squashed musical note thingy, the one at the start of the music sheet thing

As you can tell, I'm musically challenged.

It's an ampersand on acid.

It does look like a Trebble cleft thingy. Being a former musican (I played trupet in high school) I'm used to seeing this thingy.

This recurring these of the Virgin Mary appearing in various foodstuffs is quite hilarious, though not as funny as when they model <a >
sex toys</a> after her.

Why is it that Mary has such a fascination with nearly being eaten these days anyways? Grilled Cheese, Tortilla Chip, pretzel? You have a strange and vengeful God.

Looks like an ampersand.

"we had a feeling of warmth and spirituality" . . . and hope to cash in on it!

I'd have a feeling of warmth and spirituality when holding that pretzel, too. I'd be thinking "we can make a pretty penny with this on eBay."

Looks like a pagan earth goddess to me. maybe it'd be better marketed to Pagans. Lots of pagan stuff goes for huge $, so why not try that one instead.

ummm,,, I don't think that's a honey mustard Rold Gold pretzel... It looks more like a trail left by a nervous Chihuahua with The Squirts

If you turn it upside-down it looks like Free Willy... Philawhalephia Hot Pretzels. Mmm-mm. With orca without salt. Yum

1/4 turn counter-clockwise, and it's Batman's Greatest Boner. (Blame Alex, that joker)

Naw, it's a twisted foot-long fecal impaction.

Current bid: US $10,100.01

that's why it's not pagan...
I really hope that's a hoax, a bid from the ones who started this to make sure noone loses their money on this silly pretzel.

I have just opened my yogurt cup to see a fabulous impression of Queen Elizabeth. Maybe it's an omen regarding the upcoming wedding. Anyone want to stick in a bid b/f I stick in my spoon.

This would be the ideal pretzel for Dubya to choke in....

I'm sorry, but those Jesus and Mary sex toys are just wrong. Especially the "Baby Jesus butt plug". Too much! Is that for real? I'm just wondering how ProjectMayhem found this site, huh?
I'm sure you were just researching the "divine item obsession" on the internet.
I must admit, the Buddha dildo did make me laugh. "After a thousand years of praying and fasting and endless incarnations, Buddha finally gets to be.... a dildo."

Search on Ebay "virgin mary potato".

I'd put links here, but ebay links don't seem to work...

All we need now is the virgin mary stool. And not the one with the legs.

This must be a new trend. Have you seen the newest one? It's a pretzel in the shape of someone praying for the Pope. Check it out:

just type in item # 6161280088 in the search box, it'll come up. It's rather silly.

Jesus on a Tortilla Chip is on sale on eBay RIGHT NOW (March 22, 2006). This one is NOT A HOAX. It gave me chills!
Posted by JimBob PollyWog  on  Wed Mar 22, 2006  at  07:47 PM
It looks like a defectively made pretzel that accidently got folded over itself in the manufacturing process. For $150 you can clothe, feed, educatate, and house a child in Uganda for an entire YEAR. Some people just have waaaayyyy too much discretionary income.
