Q16
The listing attracted 132 bids before closing at 3:45 a.m. on Feb. 7. The item was sold from Burbank, California, and even came with free standard shipping, according to the eBay listing.In a phone call, eBay confirmed to CNBC the item was valid and available for purchase, but has not yet returned a request for comment on the specific listing. Wired noted in 2015 that trolls tend to inflate the bids on "rare" and collectible items, making large offers that inevitably fall through. Oftentimes, the only consequence for not fulfilling a bid is a strike against the seller's account.What was so special about the Cheetos ? <image on next slide>

Q19
“Shinder is the brilliant work of entrepreneur, author, product designer, motivational speaker, and all-around-jokester Shed Shimove. He’s also behind such stunts as a book called What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex—the kicker: the book contains 200 blank pages—and another called Fifty Shades Of Gray, which also contains 200 blank pages, except they go from light to dark grey (four pages for every shade) as the book goes on. We haven’t explored all of Shimove’s many, many ideas, but it’s reasonable to assume that at least four more involve printing books with 200 blank pages. As for the Shinder app—tagline: “quality, not quantity”—it’s very real.” – According to an article by Menshealth.What is so special about the app “Shinder” ?
