In case you were thinking of buying one!
I HAVE JUST BEEN BROWSING THE SITE, AND NOTICED LOADS OF SELLERS OFFERING BIG BROTHER GOLDEN TICKETS, FOUND IN KITKAT BARS.
ON READING SOME ADS, I FOUND THAT THEY WERE SELLING ONLY A BAR, NOT GUARANTEED TO HAVE A TICKET INSIDE, AND 1 EXAMPLE WAS BIDDED UP TO £512.
JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR, THIS WAS A KITKAT CHOCOLATE BAR, JUST LIKE THE ONES YOU BUY FROM THE LOCAL SHOP, AND IT WAS NO MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A GOLDEN TICKET INSIDE THAN IF YOU WENT OUT TO THE SHOP AND BOUGHT IT YOURSELF FOR 40p!!!
SURELY NO-ONE IS SO DESPERATE FOR 15 MINUTES OF FAME THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR AN ORDINARY EVERY-DAY CHOCOLATE BAR! IT SEEMS THE CHANCE TO APPEAR ON TV PRESENTS ITSELF, AND COMMON SENSE RUNS AND HIDES!!
I THEN FOUND ONE ACTUALLY CLAIMING TO BE SELLING A TICKET, COMPLETE WITH A PICTURE, BUT ON EXAMINING THE PICTURE, I SAW THIS:
I READ WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TICKET, AND IT IS A WILLY WONKA TICKET, LIKE THIS ONE:
TAKEN FROM THE CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY FILM, WITH A KITKAT PHOTO CLEVERLY, BUT NOT VERY CONVINCINGLY, ADDED ON THE TOP. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN BIDDED UP TO £10,000,000. YES, TEN MILLION POUNDS!!!
I HAVE ALSO SEEN LISTINGS WITH THE WONKA TICKET CLEVERLY ADAPTED LIKE THIS ONE:
THIS IS NOT A BIG BROTHER TICKET, AND IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ONE. THE REAL BIG BROTHER TICKETS HAVE A HOLOGRAPHIC APPEARANCE, AND ARE NOT GOLD IN COLOUR. THIS IS A REAL TICKET:
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THESE REAL TICKETS AVAILABLE ON EBAY AT THE MOMENT, AND THEY ARE SELLING AT A VERY HIGH PRICE.
BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
