Cheetos
December 10th, 2009
Yes, we’ve talked about food-that-looks-like-stuff before. Hell, we even coined a term for the phenomenon – representachip. But these two demonstrate what a difficult market this is to assess. Is a Cheeto penis worth $0.99? Or $50? I’m stumped. If and when I find one (and that time will come, I’m an unrepentant Cheeto eater) I’ll probably try to get $96,000 for it. Let’s see what the market will bear.
“Is a Cheeto penis worth $0.99? Or $50?” Well, the $50 one has free shipping, and the $0.99 one is $7.00 for shipping, so it’s really $8 to $50. Given those two choices, I’m going with the lasagna.
That’s not a cheeto, that’s my last boyfriend’s penis. Yep… I did a Bobbitt and encased it in cheese for preservation.
Guys, guys, guys…the $.99 and $50 are the STARTING Bids…these things are going to sell for thousands by the end of the auction.
I don’t know which is worse… someone thinking that a penis-shaped cheeto will bring big bucks on ebay, or someone on ebay paying big bucks for a penis-shaped cheeto.
Now if I could only find a cheerio shaped like a vulva…
How about the person who takes the time to examine the shape of each Cheeto before eating it?
Maybe he doesn’t want his friends to call him gay for eating a penis-shaped Cheeto.
You could get two whole packets of Wotsits for less than tha. And who knows how many appendage-shaped crisps could be in them..
that’s nuts!
and a cheesy penis
I wonder about the mental state of some of these people.
“Om nom nom, hey, wait! This thing looks like a penis! Whooaaa. What can I do with this? Hmm, I know! I’ll put it on eBay! I’m going to be rich.”
Mebbe they just couldn’t eat it once they realized it was phallic shaped, and who can just let a cheetoh go to waste?
Don’t all cheetos (cheeti?) have a phallic look to them? They’re tubes; that’s half the battle right there.
I thought the same thing. do you know how many penis shaped snacks I’ve devoured without thinking twice? several
2 inches?! Wow! That IS long!
Was November 23rd some official Phallic Cheeto on eBay Day or something? It could be a regular thing these days, what with people putting things up on eBay in hopes of a certain online casino buying them.
Yes, but is it CHRIST’S phallus? (That might account for the differences in starting bids.)
I clicked the enlarge button, but nothing happened!
Here we have two of the most popular tactics of the desperate eBayer: 1) item is cheap, but shipping is way too much ($7 to ship a Cheeto? It won’t fit in one of those little Priority boxes?), and 2) item is ridiculously overpriced, but shipping is free! Free! You can’t say no to free shipping!
Given how much it costs just to list something on Feebay, I can’t imagine either of these clowns will break even.
