Unwanted Brussel Sprout

Anyone seen this on ebay?

I saw one last week which sold for £99.50 but this one is amazing-not the actual sprout but how much it's going for!

    Why didn't I think of that? I could do with some pennies.

    Loads of people are trying it - if you search all categories for brussel sprout you'll see how many there are but only this one is really successful.

    I hope he does give the dough to Cancer Research UK.

    I think its quite a nice idea, the whole raising money for charity using a sprout, but the person who wins the sprout surely could have just given the money straight to the charity in the first place.

    They could, but that argument always annoys me hugely.

    It's a joke, it raises money for charidee, what's the chuffing problem?

    It is more of a talking point if you say that you paid over £1000 for a cooked brussel sprout!!

    It's a joke and encourages people to donate more to charity, advertises the charity and if it raises money for charity then good on them.
