Yes, I’m one of "them". I once cooked a tortilla that looked like it had a face on it.
And you know my goofy ass had fun with it & called a friend, emailing her a pic at the same time. She told me to Ebay it, so I sealed it with a food sealer, put it up on Ebay, called the news, looked like an absolute freak on the news (playing up the whole "we were just talking about how we couldn’t make ends meet & this happened" angle, lol).
So there I was, doing my 2 minutes on the local San Diego news (this was a few years ago when I lived there) then I looked online for zany morning shows around the country to set up interviews & spread the word about my mysterious (omg, lol) tortilla with a face.
When interviewed, I’d say that some people thought the markings looked like an outline of the head of Jesus, some thought Lionel Richie when he was in the Commodores (uh, RANDOM!), & most of my friends said it looked like Bin Laden.
The word of my tortilla didn’t make it to CNN or any of those, but damn if I didn’t try. In the end, my tortilla sold for $75 to a retired sergeant in San Francisco who was going to frame it & put it up in a game room as a conversation piece.
Not bad for a 7 cent tortilla & a little manipulation of the media.

Thats pretty sweet. It would be even sweeter if someone found a way to make foood look like it had a face on it. You could make a ton of money if you found a way too.

There’s an egg on here about how to make Jesus toast. Mostly, you melt some butter, paint an image of Jesus on the bread, toast it, and the image is cooked onto it. This might work with a tortilla, especially if you make your own.

I can’t view auction details that are over 90 days old. That’s bullshit.

Google cache won’t go back 3 years. I just have to go in the attic & dig through the boxes until I find my backup disks from my old computer.

Ok, this is the SHIT! I just did a google search for ’Jesus tortilla’ & I shit you not, mine was the first tortilla! I fucking love it.
Here it is! I’ll scrounge up other pics of it from the attic tomorrow night to prove I’m not just snagging someone else’s pic.
This is cracking me up...
