Virgin Toastie

as noted by the BBC

...

Mrs Duyser has since kept the toastie surrounded by cotton wool, in a plastic container on a stand.

She says a decade on from its conception, it has not shown any sign of mould or crumbling - which she considers "a miracle".

She also believes its mystical properties have brought her blessings, including $70,000 won in a nearby casino.

Other visitors to the website were sceptical, however.

Mocking imitators posted pictures of Elvis and a "burnt George Bush" depicted on slices of toast.

Another tried to sell T-shirts showing Mrs Duyser's sandwich, while a budding artist posted a watercolour based on the image. There were no bids.
