A jelly bean resembling Kate Middleton's face is set to fetch £500 at auction
Wesley Hoise and his girlfriend Jessica White say to have found a yellow and red jelly bean in a 700-year-old jar, which resembles the face of Prince William’s bride Kae Middleton. They now want to make some money from the bean by selling it on eBay for £500. The chance that some collector, they hope, is buying, is present since the wedding is coming up in a few weeks.
Richard Cullen, Joint Managing Director for The Jelly Bean Factory says he still has to see it in order to believe it and says it’s possible because each and every jelly bean is unique because they’re handmade.

It took some time but I see it now!
Regardless of if the bean looks like kate or not, it is a nice item to have if you're a true fan collector of everything that has to do with the royal wedding coming up, and of course a nice bonus for the couple selling the bean on eBay.
I myself, at first just didn't see the comparison between the bean and the bride. However, later on when I really woke up, it all became visible to me and felt like a revelation.
Though, I do think that the bean looks like many girls and women, including friends of mine and therefore, is not that special. Also, I wonder why the picture they chose for the comparison is so NOT flattering for Kate Middleton, how hard is it to google for a nice picture of hers?

ReplyDeleteThe bean does indeed look like a lot of girls/women. There's two eyes, a nose, a mouth and long hair.
The reason assosiation with Kate Middleton is made, probably lies in the fact the wedding is coming up. Kate Middleton likely is on everyone's mind at the moment. I think that is the reason the comparison is made.
Hope the couple gets the 500 quid ^^
Have a good one Dennis ;)
It is funny that something like this manages to get press attention! Unfortunately the link you have included does not bring me to the original article. Could you check the link for me?

I think that if their dog farts (do they have one?) it will get press attention.
ReplyDeleteI will adjust it, here's the link.

Hahaha, I have got to love your choice of articles Dennis!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it surprise you that people actually notice these kinds of strange things? If it was my jellybean I would've probably eaten it instead of studied it to be honest...
Yes I know right, the interviewee said something like this: I opened it, and there it was, staring right at me...
ReplyDeleteShe must have a really developed sense of detail spotting :P
