It's a miracle! Soon-to-be-princess Kate Middleton's face has mysteriously appeared on a yellow jelly bean, and it's going to be sold on eBay. When jelly bean store owner Jessica White opened a jar of mango-flavored jelly beans, "I saw her immediately," said boyfriend and co-owner Wesley Hosie. "She was literally lying there staring back at me." The couple is hoping to sell the sweetie for some $800.

"Given that the royal wedding is only a few weeks away, we hope to make a few pounds selling it to a collector," said Hosie. A spokesman for the Dublin jelly bean factory said the find was incredible. "I would have to see the bean for myself to believe it," he told the Telegraph. (More Kate Middleton stories.)
