Actually, two people liked this flavor very very much. Several others liked it very much but either didn't like it as much as the two high bid competitors, or weren't willing or able to bid that high! Its possible that the third or fourth highest bidders were willing to go higher than the winner but never believed that it would take a $7500.00 bid to get there!!

We'll never really know!

Who'd a thunk it?
