There isn’t enough marijuana in the world that would make the average person see a gorilla in their bag of chips.

Are you sitting down? A single Flamin’ Hot Cheeto shaped like the late and now mythical gorilla, Harambe, sold on eBay Thursday morning for…$99,900!

The seller, valuestampsinc, received 132 bids on the what now has to be stale snack within the 10-day selling period. The bidding began at $11.99. I wouldn't buy an entire bag for that price. The bidding was supposed to end at 3:45 a.m. early Tuesday morning, but eBay pulled the item. It must have gone back up, because the bidding increased until 9:20 a.m. Tuesday morning, when the auction ended at almost $100,000.

There is no word whether the bidders on the auction are serious with their astronomical increasing of the bidding price.

The description of the item, from valuestampsinc, reads as follows:

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.

This item is one of a kind!

It measures up to about 1 1/2 inches in length.

This item up for bid is only for this unique Cheeto, bag not included.

This makes a great collectible for anyone who appreciates rare items!

There you have it, folks. That single Cheeto is one of a kind. It kind of reminds me how people see certain things in the clouds depending upon their shape.

You could only know if this snackable Harambe was one of kind if you went through every single bag of Cheetos.

Somehow I believe that Harambe is still out there… in a bag of Funyuns.
