Someone Spent Nearly $100,000 On A Flaming Hot Cheeto That Looks Like Harambe
There are people on this planet that actually spend $99,900 on a Cheeto that looks like Harambe. Those people are dumb.
There are people on this planet that open a bag of Cheetos, look at one of the chips, immediately draw the conclusion it looks like a gorilla turned Internet star and then list it on eBay. Those people are geniuses.
Here’s some of the story via Independent:
Someone has bid nearly $100,000 for a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto that resembles Harambe, the slain gorilla.
The seller found the cheesy crisp in a bag of crisps, according to its description. It was then listed online, with bidding beginning at $11.99.
But it quickly shot up before bidding ended on Tuesday morning, finishing at $99,900 after receiving 132 bids.
The buyer will receive just the crisp on its own, not any of the other Cheetos that came with it or the bag itself.
“I opened up a bag of Flamin Hot Cheetos and as soon as I looked inside I came across this unique Cheetos that looks like Harambe the gorilla,” the eBay listing read. “This item is one of a kind!
“It measures up to about 1 1/2 inches in length,” the post continued. “This item up for bid is only for this unique Cheetos, bag not included. This makes a great collectible for anyone who appreciates rare items!”
I’m that dude that hates spending more than like five bucks for a drink at the bar and some person out there just spent $99,900 ON A CHIP.
I want to know why the person fell on the starting bid of $11.99; you can go buy one of those family pack of chips for like $5.00 but they wouldn’t contain this “rare item.”
I really wish the seller would’ve taken video of themselves watching as the bids went up. I imagine they saw the bids hit $100 and they were blow away by that. When it hit $1,000 I’m sure they completely lost their damn minds and when they saw $99,900 they fell to the floor and protected that damn hot Cheeto like it was a newborn child.
I really want to know how this thing is going to be shipped or if this person is going to have to travel to the buyer’s house and hand deliver this thing. I’d walk for actual days to see $99,900 go into my bank account for selling a Cheeto.
