Limited edition Pokemon Oreo cookies are being listed for thousands on eBay
CTV
Oreo cookies featuring a rare Pokemon are now being resold on eBay for thousands of dollars, with one seller asking for as much as US$10,000.
The new Oreo collaboration with Pokemon debuted earlier this month, with cookies featuring various Pokémon embellished into the chocolate. But some cookies are more rare than others -- with some Oreos featuring the extremely uncommon Mew, a psychic mythical Pokémon.
In the world of Pokémon, seeing a Mew is almost akin to seeing a unicorn. And, as art imitates life, finding a Mew Oreo cookie is just as miraculous in its own way. So much so that the cookies featuring Mew are now being resold on eBay for thousands, with one seller asking for as much as US$10,000 for the cookie.
CNN reached out to Mondelez International, which owns Nabisco -- maker of popular snacks such as Oreos and Ritz Crackers -- for comment on the resale value of these cookies, but did not receive a response.
Even though the Pokémon Oreos taste exactly like other non-Pokémon Oreos, social media has been alight with raves and reviews of the cookies. One YouTuber, Jason Mazurek, reported that he went to eight different stores to find the coveted cookies, while one Pokémon card social media account posted a photo of a grocery store display of the Oreos, writing, "Gonna buy all the cookies and then re-sell them for a zillion dollars."
