Time runs out for Zelda-esque chicken strip auction

by JC Fletcher { Jul 6th 2009 at 12:45PM }

One Zelda fan discovered that McDonalds had selected a very special Chicken Selects strip for him: one that bears a resemblance to the Ocarina of Time from, well, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The one on the right is the chicken strip -- we know it can be hard to tell the two near-identical images apart. After holding the treasure aloft and singing the classic Zelda "You Found an Item" fanfare (we are approximately 100% certain this happened), the lucky owner of the magical instrument ... -shaped chicken strip decided to share his good fortune. By putting it on eBay.

Despite starting bidding at a reasonable (for a legendary artifact) $25, nobody bid on 0iz0's auction for some old food. Now what is he to do? How does one dispose of something like this?

[Thanks, George!]

He should've just thrown in a freebie like worn underwear, that always seems to get a couple of hits.

He must consume it and become one with Link.

Referring to the guy behind the counter as a "late night, tired, acne infested teenage boy" is a bit harsh when you're the type of guy who puts a vaguely mystical instrument-shaped chicken strip on eBay for $25.

He should of drilled holes into it, hollowed it out, and then played a tune which he could have included with his item.

Ah, he didn't post any buyer questions, those are usually the best parts of these auctions.

I have heard of a mystical power called cooking which allows you to shape food with your own hands.

Duh?! Selling it on ebay?! ROFL >_>
Now, he'll die of hunger for not eating the chicken strip.
Or maybe Link will find it and somehow unlock its mystical powers.
CHICKENNN!!! KAPOWWW!!!

Ocarina, bah!

He should've tried to sell it as a submarine-shaped chicken product.

I'd encase it in a clear epoxy or something like that and then play the song of time, then repost ad on ebay.

timeless approach.

On the News Tonight: Tragedy happen late yesterday when a video game fanatic dressed up as his favourite character took his own life by ingesting part of a 7 year old piece of chicken. At one time this food item was up for bid on E-Bay, But as no one bid for this item for a few years the Diluted Video Game fanatic deiced to dress up and try to play a song on the rotten food item. If it were not for the you-tube video hes was attempting to film at the time, The police would have surly have concluded that this was a case of suicide.
