Cheeto That Looks Like Harambe Goes for Nearly $100,000 on eBay

Harambe was shot by handlers at the Cincinnati Zoo in May after dragging a small boy who had gotten into his enclosure

Someone bid nearly $100,000 on eBay for a Cheeto that bears a resemblance to slain gorilla Harambe. 

The seller said he found the cheese snack in a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Bidding began at $11.99 on Jan. 28. The auction ended early Tuesday 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 by handlers at the Cincinnati Zoo after dragging a small boy who had gotten into his enclosure.
