The original was supposedly a 10 year old sandwich sold by a seller name Diana Duyser. Supposedly, she took one bite of the sandwich (made on plain white bread with American cheese and cooked with no oil or butter) and noticed the face. She supposedly kept it on her nightstand for 10 years, wrapped in a baggie, and claims the sandwich never got moldy. She sold the original on eBay for over $16,000.

And of course, there are all kinds of “spinoffs”, like

* And there are several pieces of “Virgin Mary toast:

* And naturally there's an “ I Ate The Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Shirt”

I can't even think of what I want to say about this kind of ... stuff.
