Man sells chip for £120 on eBay

A man has sold what he billed as the world's largest french fry for £120 on the internet auction site - Ebay .

Simon Holland found the 6 3/4-inch chip during a meal at a restaurant in Wisconsin Rapids on June 24.

But instead of eating the spud, he immediately froze it and put it up for auction on Ebay .

"I could probably write the book, 'How to Sell a French Fry on Ebay ,'" Holland said, laughing.

But the fry's claim as the world's largest has not gone undisputed.

Two restaurant employees at Chips of Wisconsin Rapids found one fry last week that was about 8 inches.

On June 29, a second french fry from Wisconsin Rapids that's allegedly longer than 7 inches also went on sale on Ebay .
