Press Release Body: Atlanta, GA. April 14, 2008 -- Move over Virgin Mary toast, ghost cane, and Illinois cornflake. Sometimes fetching thousands of dollars for creative ebayŽ sellers, strange items listed in the \"Weird Stuff\" category on the world\'s most popular auction site just keep rolling on in.
Now it\'s a coupon entitling the winning bidder to a mutant strawberry. A Georgia travel agent is hoping a buyer will grab her coupon redeemable for the bizarre berry she found in a batch of strawberries bought at a local Sam\'s Club.
According to Ann Lombardi, one of Atlanta\'s The Trip ChicksT, the unusual strawberry bears \"a weird resemblance to two penguins kissing, right down to the birds\' wings and profiles.\"
Apparently while washing the berries destined for her daily smoothies, Lombardi spotted the \"kissing penguins\" at the bottom of the container. \"I decided then and there to rescue the berry from what would have been a certain death at the hands of my blender,\" she explains.
Though quick to point out the \"kissing penguins\" strawberry is meant only to be a conversation piece and definitely not part of someone\'s shortcake or sundae, the long-time travel agent still hasn\'t figured out how to preserve the bodacious berry for safe shipping to a new owner. Lombardi has only until April 18th, the auction end date, to make sure the strawberry travels well. The next day she leaves to Europe on a business trip.
