The latest in what's going on in the world of sandwiches: The most expensive leftovers you'll ever see Would you spend seven figures to purchase a half-eaten sandwich? That's what someone from Leicester, England, aimed to figure out by offering his sandwich leftovers on Facebook Marketplace for $1.3 million. Categorized as “new,” the grilled, half-eaten sammie, which appeared to be filled with cheese and some sort of meat, was described as “very crispy” and listed for sale because the vendor couldn’t “finish” it. As of this writing, no one has purchased the sandwich. Shocking, we know. The primary source of this information is The New York Post. Zero-carb bagel sandwiches do exist...but you can't eat them Recently in San Francisco, bakery lovers who count their carbs had the opportunity to purchase a zero-carb bagel sandwich for $250. That's expensive for a bagel, especially when factoring in one thing: The bagels weren't edible. In fact, technically they weren't bagels at all. They were works of art entirely hand-sewn out of felt and created by British artist Lucy Sparrow. The artworks aim to pay homage to New York bagel shops and delis. They may not be bagels you can eat, but make no mistake: They quickly went off the shelves, with Sparrow's playful pieces attracting A-list fans like actress Drew Barrymore and sparking a social media frenzy with their big beady eyes and jovial smiles.

But the buzz was no doubt particularly loud in Canada after the cult favorite returned to the country following a 10-year hiatus. The sandwich's return to the Great White North came amid increasing calls on social media from McRib lovers who felt that a decade away was simply too long. “In the last year alone, our team received thousands of inquiries on social media from very passionate Canadian McRib fans asking to bring it back here,” Alyssa Buetikofer, vice president and chief marketing officer at McDonald’s Canada, said. “The McRib is truly a fan favorite. It appeals to guests of all ages — from loyal followers who have patiently waited a decade for its return, to our newer fans who have only heard the legend.” In Canada, the legend finally continues.
