Britney Spears' sandwich being auctioned

A sandwich which was half-eaten by pop singer Britney Spears is being sold on auction website eBay.

The sandwich is being sold by a waiter who served the star and her husband Kevin Federline at a recent function. Federline's partially eaten corn dog is also being auctioned.

In the posting which appears on the website, the seller says: "The sandwich is an egg salad sandwich with tomato and lettuce on wheat bread. Britney ate the other half, and had a few bites of this half before being done with it."

"In situations like this, we're expected to do the usual catering thing, pick up plates after they are done... It does not however say anything about how I am supposed to discard their food when they have me pick up their leftovers."

The sandwich and corn dog, which have already attracted a bid of over $100, have been vacuum sealed to prevent them from decaying.
