The unsinkable biscuit has sold for $23,000.

The emergency ration plucked from a Titanic lifeboat in 1912 now belongs to a buyer in Greece, who spent well beyond the predicted bid of only $15,300 during the UK auction Saturday.

$23,000 could feed a lot of people a lot of crackers. /s

I understand that the last barrels of Civil War hardtack were used up in the Spanish-American war.

Only reason I know that is I was a cook, including a military cook. ;)

It could have bought the JFK golf clubs. Or a piece of the Duchess of Windsor wedding cake. Or an Entenmanns.

I would hold on to it for a few more years if I were you. Might get $400k or more by then.

Didn’t the buyer know that McDonald’s now serves breakfast all day long?

I got a jar of peanut butter I’ve had since JFK was president I’ll sell him at a good price. It should go nicely with that cracker.

The one Greek with money!

Heck, just yesterday I went to KFC to get 1 Breast extra crispy, with Mash Potato and it came with a BISCUIT all for $5. No need to spend $23,000 for it.
