After a series of bids outpacing even the cash equivalent of Dogecoins attached to the product, Oscar Mayer reported that the link to the auction was down.

&ldquo;You guys really took this to the moon the link is down but will be up soon!&rdquo; said the company on <a href="https://twitter.com/oscarmayer/status/1423046023564386305" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">Twitter</a>.

All proceeds from the sale will reportedly go to the food bank and hunger relief organization Feeding America as part of eBay&rsquo;s Auctions for Charity.

Oscar Mayer isn&rsquo;t the only consumer goods company to make the most out of the hype and following surrounding the meme-based cryptocurrency.

Last month, Unilever plc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNLYF#OTC">UNLYF</a>)-owned deodorant company Axe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/07/22054811/axe-launches-limited-edition-dogecoin-48h-crypto-scent-with-a-dank-musk" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">launched</a> a scent inspired by Dogecoin.

Even as more brands associate themselves with the Shiba-Inu-themed cryptocurrency, however, the coin hasn&rsquo;t been able to regain momentum in crypto markets even as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) trended higher.

At press time, Dogecoin was trading at a price of $0.1988&nbsp;remaining, relatively unchanged over the past 24-hours. The cryptocurrency had a daily trading volume of $1 billion at the time of writing, accounting for just 1.59% of the crypto market.
