Yep, that’s the ~$15k “puffy” Doritos chip… (Source: TikTok)
Australian 13-year-old Rylee Stuart recently posted a TikTok of a “puffy” Dorito she found in a bag of chips. The clip went viral, notching ~5.7m views.
So Stuart put the chip up for sale on eBay, where bids poured in all the way up to $100k.
In the end, Doritos awarded Stuart and her family AU$20k (~$15k) for their “creativity and love for Doritos,” and the chip was taken off eBay.
On eBay, you’ll find hundreds of “rare Cheetos,” including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Jordan look-alikes.
Some notable rare snack finds include:
The bun was discovered at a Tennessee cafe in 1996. The cafe reportedly sold “Nun Bun” merch and kept it on display until it was stolen 9 years later.
The human experience of seeing shapes out of randomness is known as pareidolia.
Studies have shown humans will interpret something as a face even with slight suggestions of facial features. It’s why you’ll think this building looks like it’s reacting to a murder.
And it’s why a Cheeto the shape of Harambe — the infamous gorilla killed at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2017 — sold for $99.9k.
