TheDunesandworms have slithered their way to uncharted territory: eBay.
Dune: Part Twohit the big screen last weekend, and AMC Theaters' viral sandworm popcorn bucket — which the company released for in-theater purchase in honor of the highly anticipated sequel — is already being listed for sale on eBay, with prices reaching over $800!
The most expensive eBay listing, as of Wednesday afternoon? $846.36 — nearly 34 times the original price of the limited-edition souvenir.
And while nobody has purchased the most staggeringly priced buckets yet, since the premiere of the sci-fi sequel, they have been sold on the retailer for over $100.
Since it was announced, theDunepopcorn bucket and its unique design (to grab popcorn, you have to reach your hand through rubbery sandworm teeth) have been almost as talked-about as the sequel itself.
The bucket has inspired araunchySNLmusic videoand awhole lot of memes— many of which are sexual in nature.
