Someone bid nearly $100,000 on eBay for a Cheeto that bears a resemblance to slain gorilla Harambe. The seller said he found it in a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Bidding began at $11.99 on Jan. 28. It 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 was shot by handlers at the Cincinnati Zoo after dragging a small boy who had gotten into his enclosure.
