A true visionary is someone who recognizes opportunities where others do not. If you’re eager enough to spot it, the next new trend might pop up almost anywhere—even in a bag of chips. You just have to be careful not to eat your fortune before you find your fame (名气).
13-year-old Rylee Stuart opened a packet of Doritos when she happened on a chip that looked like a puffed-up (鼓胀的) triangular pillow. The Queensland teen was about to pop it into her mouth, but noting its unique shape, she changed her mind of scarfing down the puffed-up chip.
Instead， Rylee posted her unusual find on TikTok, asking her followers for feedback on how to best eat it. Their advice? Put the puffy chip on eBay to e what price it might fetch. With a starting bid (出价) of $0.99, that’s just what the Queensland teen did.

ed up 6 million views. Meanwhile, before the listing being taken down, the eBay auction (拍卖) for the “one of a kind” topped out in the neighborhood of $100,00, but not before its Internet fame caught the attention of Doritos Chief Marketing Officer Vandita Pandey.
