Denote by $\continuum=2^{\aleph_0}$ the cardinal of continuum. We construct an intriguing family $(P_\alpha: \alpha\in\continuum)$ of prime $z$-ideals in $\C_0(\reals)$ with the following properties: If $f\in P_{i_0}$ for some $i_0\in\continuum$, then $f\in P_i$ for all but finitely many $i\in \continuum$; $\bigcap_{i\neq i_0} P_i \nsubset P_{i_0}$ for each $\i_0\in \continuum$.
