A New Zealand girl donated NZ$20,000 (regarding 16 million won) to a hospital from a single potato chip with a heart-shaped hole.
According to the New Zealand media News Hub on the 19th (local time), Bianca Jean McPherson (10) found a chip with a heart-shaped hole in the middle while eating potato chips on the 11th.
McPherson decided to use these chips for good because he thought it was a waste to eat them as they were. The way he thought regarding it was to create a fund to donate to ‘Starship Children’s Hospital’ with these potato chips.
How can I make money with potato chips? After storing these potato chips in an airtight bag, he put them up for sale on the online auction site ‘Trade Me’. He posted the story behind his discovery of the chip and that all proceeds from the auction would be donated to Starship Children’s Hospital in Auckland.
In an interview with a broadcasting station, he said, “I hope the money will be used for people in need, like my sister who broke her arms twice.”
Potato chips have attracted a lot of attention since the first day of the auction. The bid price went up to 250 New Zealand dollars, and when the auction ended on the 18th, the winning bid reached 5,000 New Zealand dollars (regarding 3.98 million won).
The amazing winning bid didn’t stop there. Afterwards, the successful bidder assumed McPherson’s will and announced that he would pay NZ$10,000, twice the winning price. In addition, a potato chip manufacturer who heard the news offered to add 10,000 New Zealand dollars. In this way, a total of 20,000 New Zealand dollars (regarding 16 million won) was raised from one potato chip.
Trade Me also waived fees so that all proceeds go to Children’s Hospital. An official from TradeMe said, “McPherson’s auction is the most viewed auction this year,” adding, “It has been viewed 104,000 times so far.”
Macpherson was eventually able to donate NZ$20,000 (regarding 16 million won) to a children’s hospital with a single heart-shaped chip.
Meanwhile, following the auction, McPherson revealed on the air that he ate potato chips following the successful bidder said that he did not have to send them.
