Sponsor Grandma's Coffin: a satirical $10 bidding site mocking the everything-auction era
Delahuntagram · x · 2026-09-10
A dark-comedy web experiment: sponsormygrandma.com pretends a 91-year-old grandma is auctioning coffin ad space starting at $10, doubling with each bid, complete with fake live vitals and 'bidding closes when I flatline.'
The fine print reveals Marlene is fictional — no coffin, no funeral — but payments (USDC on Solana/Base) and on-page ad placements are real. The creator's stated goal: to see where the 'people will bid on anything' trend ends.
