Popeyes x One Piece Bento Boxes Are Already Being Resold on eBay for Hundreds of Dollars
Popeyes and One Piece have launched a major collaboration that officially began April 13 at participating restaurants across the U.S. and Canada. The partnership features a limited-time menu with themed food items designed to appeal to One Piece fans. The offerings include the Luffy Bento Bundle, Luffy Bento Box, Gum-Gum Fruit Lemonade, and Chopper’s Cupcake, each referencing characters and elements from the popular anime and manga series.
While the specially themed menu items have drawn customer interest, the primary driver of demand has been the collectible merchandise bundled with the promotion. Bento Boxes that were initially distributed for free to select customers are already being aggressively resold on eBay for hundreds of dollars each. This resale market surge indicates substantial collector demand for exclusive One Piece merchandise.
The rapid secondary market activity demonstrates the continued strength of anime-related merchandise sales and fan engagement. The phenomenon highlights how limited-edition branded collaborations between major entertainment properties and established restaurant chains can generate significant cultural buzz and commercial value beyond the initial promotional period. Such partnerships have become increasingly common as brands seek to leverage popular IP to drive foot traffic and create shareable moments on social media.
