Cheeto That Looks Like Harambe Sells for $100,000 On eBay
PHILADELPHIA (AP)--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.
Harambe has become fodder for internet jokes since his death last May. He was shot dead by handlers at the Cincinnati Zoo after dragging a small boy who had gotten into his enclosure.
