spaghetti £750
An eagle-eyed shopper bought a limited edition can of Heinz spaghetti for 35p before selling it for £710. Heinz celebrated the 75th anniversary of its spaghetti by changing its famous '57 varieties' slogan to '75 varieties' on just 75 cans. Chris Picardo, 29, put his can on eBay where it was bought by Keith Black for his collection of Heinz memorabilia. 'It was well worth the money', he said.

turkey sandwich £150
Muslims in Malaysia are calling for Mariah Carey to be banned from performing in the country because she's 'vulgar'. Last October a radio station in Atlanta auctioned a half-eaten turkey sandwich belonging to Carey. The winning bidder paid over £150 and also received a plastic knife used by one of her handlers in order to inspect it.
