After it was discovered in the 1300s, you couldn’t walk through a medieval village without people trying to hustle you into buying imitation Shrouds of Turin. Echoing history, yesterday’s revelation that a Hot Cheeto that looks like Harambe existed spawned a number of imitators.
The internet was amazed when an eBay user decided to auction off his Harambe-looking Cheeto (which may or may not look like Harambe), and bidding for the rare artifact shot up exponentially, with the closing offer nearly $100,000.
Smelling that sweet dead gorilla, puffed snack money, imitators and counterfeiters have taken over eBay.
Here are a couple that have popped up, but do NOT be fooled. These are fake.
Off Brand Harambe Hot Cheetos – RARE – One of a Kind Cheetos – Harambe Gorilla
“This is a brand new Harambe great value cheeto. Obviously since this is the great value version of cheetos the cheeto Harambe is not as crisp as the original cheeto Harambe.”
Please note: That is NOT a Cheeto that looks like Harambe.
