Online Frenzy Caused by a Giant Chee-to

The discovery of what is believed to be the worlds largest Chee-to, weighing in at almost half and ounce and roughly the size of a small lemon, spurred an online frenzy last week that left the discoverer frustrated after EBay cancelled the auction.

Petty Officer Mike Evans purchased a pack of Chee-tos for his 3-year-old son and found the massive glob of fried cornmeal inside. He put it up for auction on EBay and it gained so much attention that he was interviewed on radio across the country.

The publicity then spurred a massive online following, prank bids pushed the auction into the millions of dollars, Giant Chee-to shirts and puppets sprang up on auction. Evans was astounded by the flurry it caused, even finding it on a Russian site.
