Seahorse-shaped cheesy snack to help save the reefs!

This seahorse-shaped Cheeto is up for auction on ebay, with all proceeds going to charity. But hurry - at the time of writing this, there were only a few hours of bidding left!

The unusually-shaped Cheeto is being auctioned on ebay, with aproceeds going to support Reef Relief, a Florida-based organisation dedicated to improving and protecting our coral reef ecosystem through research, conservation and education. Reef Relief is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

For those outside the US, Cheetos are a cheese-flavoured cornmeal snack made by Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo.

When we last checked, bidding had reached $100 - but according to the very entertaining blurb in the ebay listing description from the seller, there's an $8000 'buy it now' price. The seller is offering free shipping in the US - but if the buyer paid postage perhaps they would consider shipping to the UK...?

Very different, and worth checking out.
