Well, it would have sold for that easy.

If I had taken a photo of it.

It was the most artsy potato chip that ever was, a perfect, ridged slice of crispy, oily, salty perfection.

After I ate it, I felt a deep and irreconcilable guilt about robbing the world of it's majesty, and my self of $1.5 million.

So, I ate the rest of the bag.

no two chips are alike, you have robbed the world of that majestic chip. you owe
each person a 1/1000th of a penny and a heartfelt appology. lucky for you, it will
be tied up in Judge Judy's court for years, but you can settle the case for a potato
that looks like Teddy Roosevelt and pocket lint.

Well I still have a dish towel that I think might have been John the Baptist's diaper. Maybe I'll just take a photo of that, it's almost as cool as a potato chip.

I remember a project that was launched by the founder of the Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster where he photographed Mexican food in B&W and sold it as art. His lighting was pretty good, if I'm remembering right.
