Will 'Cheesus' Discovery Make Couple Divine Cash?

Not your ordinary Cheeto

cheesusYes, yet another food item has surfaced that appears to resemble a holy figure. It’s not the Virgin Mary this time; it’s Jesus himself — or Cheesus, as his discoverers like to call him.

A Dallas couple found Cheesus, a Cheeto that they say resembles Jesus kneeling in prayer, in a 99-cent bag of Cheetos they bought at a gas station.

Finding Cheesus

The bag of Cheetos came from a gas station in Dallas. The Bells picked up the snacks before they left town on a trip.

Sara Bell was the one who found Cheesus and pointed him out to her husband, Dan Bell. Cheesus is about two inches tall — pretty big for a Cheeto.

Cashing in on Cheesus

The couple says they are thinking about selling it on eBay. It’s tough to predict how much people will be willing to spend on a likeness of Christ in Cheeto form, so who knows whether you’ll need money loans to pay for Cheesus, or if you can cover the cost with the change in your couch.

Cheesus finders NOT crazy

The Bells seem to be taking their discovery with a grain of salt. Or several, considering their snack choice.

“It is a reminder of our blessings from God, but primarily I think it’s a funny Cheeto,” Sara Bell said in a video posted by an Orlando news outlet.

Dan talked about the possibility of selling it on eBay, recognizing that results from similar sales in the past have been quite mixed.

“It could be 25 cents; it could be $25. Thing is, if it’s only 25 cents we’re probably just going to eat it.” ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Will 'Cheesus' Discovery Make Couple Divine Cash?"
