In a bizarre twist of consumer behavior, one individual recently shelled out a staggering $100,000 for a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto that purportedly resembles Harambe, the beloved gorilla. It’s moments like these that make you question your understanding of wealth—sure, extravagant homes, luxury cars, and exotic vacations are relatable, but who really understands the mindset of spending a small fortune on a snack?
At 6:20 AM, a bidder with an undoubtedly hefty trust fund triumphed over 131 others to claim the right to pay a mind-boggling $99,900 for this singular snack. The original eBay listing was quite the spectacle:
“I opened a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and found this unique Cheeto that looks like Harambe the gorilla. It’s one of a kind, measuring approximately 1.5 inches in length. Please note, this auction is for the Cheeto only; the bag is not included. A great collectible for those who appreciate rare items! PayPal accepted.”
Let’s unpack this listing a bit: First off, who actually inspects their Cheetos before diving in? Cheetos are not the kind of snack you savor; they’re more of a “grab a handful and go” sort of deal. Secondly, let’s set the record straight: the singular form is “Cheeto.” You wouldn’t say “a Cheetos,” right? Thirdly, why is there a need for dimensions? Unless the Cheeto is some sort of towering culinary achievement, who cares about its size? Lastly, kudos for clarifying that the bag isn’t included—because who wouldn’t want to feel deflated after spending that much on a snack only to discover the packaging is absent?
Despite the listing’s shortcomings, it’s easy to see why someone would want this particular chip over others available on eBay. Options like a $5.99 “Cheeto” that looks like a confused gorilla leaping from a cliff or a $10.50 off-brand chip that’s described as “not as crisp” simply can’t compete. There’s even a listing for a Cheeto that’s supposedly Harambe, but with photos so obscured by glare that you can’t even tell.
At the end of the day, can we really fault the buyer of the $100,000 Harambe Cheeto? If you have disposable income and a love for Harambe, why not indulge? Though honestly, wouldn’t it be better to invest that money in something more meaningful, like supporting education or local charities? Honestly, what does this say about our society?
