One Valentine’s Day, her brother found a heart-shaped potato chip, but no one in the family had ever seen what emerged from a bag of Lay’s sour cream and onion potato chips a couple of weeks ago: an oval measuring roughly 11/2 inches in diameter, in which Rosalie Lawson saw the image of Jesus Christ.
She sent e-mails to CNN, to WFLA and to the St. Petersburg Times. “Well, I’ll tell you what,” she said Tuesday afternoon to a reporter and a photographer from the Times. “You’re the first people to call me.
She knows about the GoldenPalace online casino, which spent $28,000 for a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich that reportedly bears the image of the Virgin Mary; $10,600 for the pretzel that looks like the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus; and $232.50 for the chicken breast that resembles the visage of the late Pope John Paul II. The Lawsons’ chip is “just in a jar on the buffet in my kitchen,” said Rosalie Lawson. “We’re just going to keep it for now.”
