Florida woman finds ‘sign from God’ on Goldfish cracker

Apparently the lord does work in mysterious ways.

In this case, giving a sign of his presence in a cheese flavored, fish shaped cracker.

Now I am not sure what is is about this cracker that makes it so special, divine in nature, but the lady admits to eating between two and three pounds of these things a week. Perhaps she has consumed other messages from her god. Now I look at it, and I would simply say the cracker at some point rested up agaisnt a Philips head screw, and hence the cross mark on it.

But I could be wrong. Maybe this is the sign of the return (or first coming, depending on your religion) of Jesus.

It’s a fishy story, but the woman telling it believes it's pure gold. The Florida resident says the markings she found on a Goldfish cracker are a direct message affirming her Christian faith.

“I believe that it’s a sign, a sign from God,” Patti Burke told WKMG. “He is still in our life every day, and he wants to show that to his people.”

It's not quite manna, but in Burke's eyes it's a manifestation of her faith.

The cracker in question has two markings, or imperfections, on its surface. Burke says the first marking is of a cross with a circle around it. The second marking, near the head of the fish, represents a golden crown.

“When I picked this one up, I knew he was special,” she said. “Something I’ve never seen before out of all the Goldfish I’ve eaten.”

Burke admittedly has been working from a large sample size, consuming between two and three pounds of the crackers per week. She says she eats the small crackers individually, examining each one for the optimal amount of savory coating.

Burke now carries her special cracker in an earring box padded with gauze. But she wasn’t immediately convinced it was a sign from God. At first, she thought maybe she had won a special promotion from cracker manufacturer Pepperidge Farm.

“They called me back and said there’s no way this could have been printed like that in the factory,” Burke told KSAT. “They said it sounds like something miraculous happened and we don’t know how it happened.”

(That comment has not been confirmed by Pepperidge Farm.)

No one can say exactly when people started seeing notable figures in their food, but it’s a phenomenon that has made headlines in the modern era. Last year, a Nebraska woman sold a Chicken McNugget on eBay for $8,100 after becoming convinced it contained the visage of George Washington.

After becoming convinced that the cracker in fact possessed a deeper, spiritual message, Burke brought her sign of faith to her pastor, D. Scott Worth.

“I think it’s a sign,” Worth told WKMG. “I think it points to, I would hesitate to call it a miracle, but I think it points to the miracle, which is Jesus Christ defeated death. And that’s what Easter is all about.”

Of course, not every piece of food contains divine inspiration. Just pray you don’t end up with a toaster possessed by the Devil.

 

Thank god. Toast was getting all the media attention.

 

People see what they want to see.

 

It's always a grain product of some sort.

 

I also once witnessed a miracle pointing to the second coming of christ, I found an onion ring in my french fries...

 

Cripes. When am I going to learn to quit working for a living and just start furnishing foodstuffs with religious imagery to sell on ebay instead?

 

ALLOWS MILLIONS TO DIE EVERY YEAR
Appears on cracker

 

It's the return of Cheesus! All hail Cheesus the one true son of Cheddar!

 

I would have said that if I hadn't read your post first. Great minds...?

 

Many years ago one of my friends worked at the TV station as a video camera guy doing outside work news and local interest stories and such. He was also a still photographer on his own time for weddings and other professional stuff. 35mm back then. He told of the story about the woman who owned the local ABC affiliate he worked at and how she wanted the noon time local interest show to do a story on her Uncle Thibodeaux who had psychic powers and how he put numbers on film through his powers. So they finally had to give into her and they went down and interviewed him and he pulled out examples of his powers................................the numbers were the tag the developer puts on the film when they process it.......................

 

Goldfish cracker + God = Godfish cracker. Epic win!

 

People allow themselves do die, and what's so bad about death unless you're an atheist and believe this life is all there is?

I doubt that "God" appeared on a cracker, but it's kind of pointless to judge how someone who isn't bound by natural law would work.

 

I find your gymnastic and inability to address the Problem of Evil amusing.

 

By the way, that is not a cross on the gold-fish it is a plus sign.

 

Evil's a minority so it's not a 'problem' in the grand scheme of things.

People who live in totalitarian regimes need to start a revolution, that's why they die, not because of "God" or whatever

 

But governments are institution are establishments of God.

 

I don't like that the Fish cracker has replaced the "tortilla". People are always finding pictures of Jesus or the virgin Mary on tortillas here in Texas, and now it's switched to crackers?

 

How can you tell? I can barely see the indenture, and it doesn't look like either. I'm gonna have to look more closely at my Fish crackers from now on.
