THESE RARE FOOD BRAND COLLECTIBLES ARE RESELLING FOR HUNDREDS ONLINE

Look, if you told me I could buy a Cheetos chandelier for my home, I’d probably do it. A branded tote bag? Not really my thing. Companies—food brands or otherwise—are always cranking out merch covered in flashy, colorful logos. At this point, I could probably open a museum with all the baseball caps, pens, and keychains I’ve collected over the years. But while branded merch today feels like a quick, cheap way to build brand recognition, companies used to put in more effort (and get a lot weirder) with their products. And hey, if you’re a fan of a particular brand, there’s probably a piece of merch out there with your name on it.

And you wouldn’t be alone in wanting it. Rare food brand merch is all over eBay, often pulling in hundreds of dollars from fans and collectors. After perusing through some of the listings, I kind of get it. Some of these pieces that you’ll see below are so specific that it makes sense why people are willing to shell out for them. I might even place a bid myself.

Taco Bell Tiffany-Style Handmade Stained Glass Lamp

Um, can you say gorg?! This Taco Bell lamp recently sold for nearly $500, and I totally get the hype. The colors, the stained glass look—it’s a work of art. While this specific lamp has already found its rightful owner, the seller apparently has another one in their storefront, should you want to get your hands on your own.

Vintage Oreo Cookie Jar With Lid

This vintageOreo and milk cookie jar is equal parts charming and practical. It’s still on the market, with bidding starting at $100. And for anyone not already deep in the collectible kitchenware world, vintage cookie jars can be a worthwhile collectible, often selling for hundreds of dollars.

Vintage Doritos Sleeping Bag

I can’t even begin to imagine how many sleepovers this sleeping bag has seen. According to the listing, it dates back to the 1980s when Wenzel produced it as a short-run promotional item for the chip brand. Bidding starts at around $130 for this rare Doritos keepsake.

Chuck E. Cheese Derby Era Custom Plush

While this isn’t officially licensed Chuck E. Cheese merch, it still taps into a specific era of childhood food nostalgia. According to the listing, it’s a custom reproduction of a 1980s Derby Era collectible plush. Official or not, it looks like a pretty legit jockey outfit to me.

Vintage Pizza Hut Lamp

Since I first found this beautiful Tiffany-style Pizza Hut lamp, the bidding price has already climbed to $130. Although the listing markets it as vintage, this hanging lamp is actually a high-quality reproduction of the original stained glass version. With Pizza Hut locations closing rapidly, now might be the perfect time to nab one.

Collectible Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Mini Backpack With Coin Purse

This backpack is barely three years old, and it is already selling above its original retail price. The mini backpack, which comes with a detachable coin purse, was released in 2023 as a limited-edition collaboration between Loungefly and Reese’s. Now it’s selling for around $135.

Vintage KFC Corporate Hat

According to the seller, this is a genuine 2000s KFC corporate hat, and let me tell you: if I had the funds, I’d totally buy it. As someone who grew up on Kentucky Fried Chicken, I can get behind this Colonel-centric hat as a subtle tribute.

McDonald’s 50th Birthday Backpack

McDonald’s celebrated its 50th birthday in the United Kingdom in 2024—its U.S. 50th was 20 years earlier—with a lot of merch, including pieces featuring the popular 80s-inspired slogan, “I Had My Birthday At McDonald’s.” This leather backpack came from that collection and is currently listed at about $122 U.S.
