MELBOURNE, Fla. -
A Brevard County woman found more than she expected while eating a bag of Goldfish crackers, according to Local 6 News partner Florida Today.
Patti Burke eats two or three pounds of Goldfish crackers in a week, one by one, looking for the saltiest of the snacks. But only once has she found a sign from God on a little orange cracker.
When I picked this one up, I knew he was special, the Melbourne woman said of her Holy Week discovery. He had a cross on him, and he had a crown circle up by his head. Something Ive never seen before out of all the Goldfish Ive eaten.
Burke couldnt believe it on Easter Sunday, when her pastor, D. Scott Worth, began talking about fish as a symbol of Christianity in front of the congregation of Presbyterian Church of the Good Shepherd in Melbourne.
...
Burke hasnt yet decided what to do with the cracker, so she carries it in an earring box padded by gauze. She tried to find out how the the snack that smiles back which is normally only printed with a smile ended up with the cross and two circles. At first, she thought shed won a special promotion.
I called Pepperidge Farm and said, Hey, do you have some special promotion going on, I think Ive got the lucky fish, she said. They called me back and said theres no way this could have been printed like that in the factory. ... They said it sounds like something miraculous happened and we dont know how it happened.

That's the impression of a screw head on that cracker. I'll believe in miracles when amputees are healed. Until then, it's just a bunch of bullshit.

Low and behold, she returned the next day! It was a miracle I tells ya. I fuckin miracle!
