Tech Article Assignment #3

People all over pay thousands of dollars for things signed by famous people. The silliest thing that probably anyone has bought was a gallon of barbeque sauce that dated back to 1992 that was bought from eBay. A lot of weird, different things are bought on eBay and anywhere else.  How did this sell for? About $10,000! That is crazy! But 1992 was a pretty big year for barbeque sauce. This certain barbeque sauce was important; it wasn’t just regular bbq sauce. It was old sauce from McDonald’s promotion of the McJordan Burger. It was a celebration of Michael Jordan, a really famous basketball player. Who would pay this much for bbq sauce?! A person with a lot of money that likes Michael Jordan. This will go down in McDonald’s history. This person that bought the bbq sauce, will also be famous for a while. Everyone thinks that this is a very strange thing to buy, but he is very much enjoying it. Another odd thing that someone has recently put in there house was a $41,000 fridge that is 8 feet wide. This doesn’t really tie in with the McJordan Burger, but it shows that people are buying silly things that cost outrages amounts of money.
