"Parents, how many times have you had to break up an argument over a
twig? A lot right? You try and offer your child a new twig, but what you
don't understand is that like the Spice Girls each twig has it's own
character and you can't just replace one with another twig."
This is the opening sentence to a genuine product (or range of) available on eBay at the moment. The description continues;
"Well on offer for you I have a set of six travel size twigs, each with a unique personality so you never have to come unstuck."
You didn't read that wrong. This is a genuine listing for a set of six twigs collected by some crazy nut who has then listed them on eBay. They started at the modest price of 99p and over 6 days, the price has soared to £62... through 42 bids.
Watch out for those thorns on #5! |
"It should be noted these twigs come from De Beauvoir Square, a part of
London where a room in a shared house costs a minimum of £600 a month
excluding bills, and a sandwich starts at £4.20, thus making these
premium twigs and not everyday rubbish. Here are some dimensions...
Twig #1 24cm x 0.8cm
Twig #2 16.3cm x 1.3cm
Twig #3 14.8cm x 0.6cm
Twig #4 16.8cm x 1.7cm
Twig #5 21.5cm x 0.5cm (WARNING! this one is thorny)
Twig #6 15.7cm x 1cm
Ok for the sake of your children good luck, I only wish I had enough to sell you all."

So if you particularly fancy buying some upper class twigs with a bit of personality and literally have more money than sense- head over to the eBay page now and bid what you dare.
Boris-only-knows how much these sticks will get and whether or not it's a thing for charity...
