Recommended Posts

A Cheeto that bears a resemblance to slain gorilla Harambe has sold for nearly $100,000 on eBay.

Bidding on the cheese snack the seller said he found in a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos began at $11.99 on Jan. 28. It ended early Tuesday morning with a winning bid of $99,900. The listing showed a picture of the Cheeto side-by-side with a gorilla climbing a tree.

There seems to be at least one identical cheeto up on ebay at the moment. Very strange.

I'll be more watchful as I eat Cheetos.

I should be a professional Cheeto eater. It might pay more than what I'm currently doing.

No one is actually paying, just a fake bid on ebay, happens everyday.

That's what I was thinking. People bid on it but won't actually cough up the cash for it.

A hundred grand for a cheeto. I'd sell'em a hundred magic nose goblins for that.

So ... how do we know that Cheeto is Harambe and not King Kong climbing the Empire State Building? How does it resemble "Harambe" specifically?

It is roughly Gorilla shaped. 

Be funny if some kid ate it. Next headline "100K poop"

Why a Gorilla?  Why not a fireman sliding down a pole or even an old pole dancer.  If you rotate the picture 90° counter-clockwise it could be a bear walking. But over 90 grand?  Some people have way too much money.  If they want to waste it, they can give it away, preferably to me!

No way do I believe this is real. It's gotta be a fake bid.

More like a professional stoner that can see imaginary shapes in his munchies. Apparently the pay's good. ;)
