Press Release Author = Gordon Small, Scottsdale Gifts

Industry = Agriculture

Press Release Summary = Bag o\' Spinach was purchased during recall period. Customer
tried to find replacement spinach with no luck. Saw a budding opportunity and
listed it on eBay.

Press Release Body = Last week, my wife asked me to pick up a bag of spinach for a
recipe she was serving to company. Dutifully, I bought that and a bunch of other
things at our local Wal-Mart. The next day we heard about the Spinach Scare of
\'aught 6.\' I looked at our bag o\' spinach and saw it was bagged in CA and was within
the dates mentioned on the news. So, out I went to get some fresh spinach. That\'s
when I discovered - no spinach anywhere, none fresh, none bagged. I went to four
stores with no luck. That\'s when it dawned on me that we may have something of value
here. I could envision years from now on a 22nd century show of \"Antiques Roadshow\",
this bag o\' spinach being appraised as priceless. After all, I\'ll bet everyone threw
out their spinach, tainted or not. Well the Spinach Police didn\'t get this one and
I\'m making it available to anyone who shares my foresight. Buy it now and have it
freeze dried for the future. You could even put it up on the cryo-shelf with Walt
and Ted. Then, when a cure for e-coli comes along, hell, thaw it out and have that
spinach salad from the Great Spinach Scare of Aught 6.

There is another nefarious use for this potentially tainted and lethal bag of
unhealthy greens....we would never, ever suggest its use. But, in my fantasy world,
there are a lot of people out there that I would like to serve this spinach to. Not
these people specifically, but people LIKE these people...Not the actual person so
as you read each one, remember to mentally say \'Like\' in front of their names.....

Now this stuff probably isn\'t tainted (wink) and I would never think of doing
aything like that, but

I invite you to send me YOUR fantasy list of \"People you\'d like to have a toxic
salad.\" I will publish (the publishable ones) here on this listing. Send me your
list via \'Contact Seller\' on eBay.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here\'s what the winning bidder gets:



One authenticated bag of spinach packaged and purchased during critical recall
period. (Note the Sell By date)

Certificate of Authenticity (aka Wal-Mart receipt) showing proof of purchase was
during that ikky period.

We just thought of another great use for this
\'probably-not-tainted-but-who-could-take-the-chance\' bag of spinach. If you don\'t
want to save it as an investment, or sicken your friends, you could use it as a
toxic Whoopie Cushion!

This bag o\' spinach may very well be the last one on the planet so bid high and bid
often. Overnight Shipping is provided. We guarantee the item has been refrigerated
since bringing it home from Wal-Mart except for taking it out for these dumb
pictures.

All proceeds from this auction will be used for the preservation of Snookie\'s
lifestyle. She would like to thank you. We would like to thank you and my mama wants
to thank you, too!

Spinach is sold \"as is.\" We do not guarantee it is toxic. We don\'t guarantee it has
been recalled, in fact, it hasn\'t. And we CERTAINLY don\'t guarantee its freshness.
Winning bidder agrees to hold seller harmless if some harm comes to someone because
you served this spinach when you know you shouldn\'t have. Bag will be shipped
overnight packaged in frozen peas. The peas don\'t come with the auction so we\'d
appreciate having them back.
