[link to BBC news story](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4019295.stm) I know random images appear on things due to people seeign what they want to, so i have no problem with someone seeing an image in their cheese toastie. However, 10 years old and it’s not stale or mouldy? would packing the sandwich in cotton wool in a plastic box stop the ravages of time? or is this woman a scam artist? ---

Link to the Pit thread: > **[Religious Icon on White, Hold the Butter](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=286963)** > > It’s truly a miracle. Although to my jaded agnostic eyes it look more like a young Betty Davis. Not surprisingly, there is some powerful spiritual symbolism behind the whitebread, butterless, oil-less, processed American cheese relic. Clearly God is... ---

It’s American cheese and Wonder bread, probably. That stuff is like Twinkies. It’s never going to rot, and that’s no miracle. ---

Or if it is more about the bread than the cheese, then there is “Cwym Rhondda” “Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more; Feed me till I want no more.” Still I suppose it cannot _really_ be said to be a scam as such, unless the seller is claiming to be able to have her claim/belief properly authenticated. Funny old world. :dubious: ---

I once saw Cheezus in a sandwich…or was that Cheez Whiz? ---

Hmm. this sounds lucrative… Is there something you could put on a piece of bread to make toast not burn? You could paint an image of Jesus or something on it and sell it after you toasted it just right. ---
