"I thought it would hit $ 50, but not that much ..." One internet user, who calls himself Tav, made a great deal on eBay.
He sold at auction Friday morning a chicken nugget bought at McDonald's, looking like a character from the video game Among Us
,
... for $ 100,000 (82,000 euros).
The Internet user has received more than 180 offers for this nugget initially auctioned at 99 cents. The fried chicken piece has aroused the interest of many buyers because it has, according to them, "an unmistakable resemblance" to one of the astronauts in the game
Among Us
. "The kind of bump on the back could represent the backpack (...) But I did not understand how the auction made so far go up", declared the salesman to the
New York Post,
who indicated to have frozen and sealed the product, which will shortly be shipped in a USPS First Class security shipment.
The official Twitter account for the game
Among Us
commented on the odd resemblance on social media.
“There is a Among Us chicken nugget for sale for $ 34,443.43 and I don't know what to think ???
But I want it, ”tweeted the game's official account, which itself was retweeted by fast-food chain McDonald's.

This menu, offered in around 40 countries, includes 10 chicken nuggets, as well as fries and two new sauces, Chili and Cajun, inspired by recipes from South Korea, from which the BTS group originates.
Other sellers have also tried their luck by listing nuggets on eBay.
