Benny Blanco is expanding his palate to include gourmet blueberries.
“These blueberries they just sent me are the biggest things I’ve ever seen in the world,” Blanco, 37, said in a Saturday, August 23, TikTok.
Blanco proceeded to place a box in front of the camera, unveiling 35 individually packed blueberries. As Blanco picked up one of the berries, he exclaimed, “This is insane.”
Blanco held up one blueberry to the camera before bringing it up to his mouth and biting it in half. “OK, I’m going to taste it,” he said, before exclaiming, “Oh, my God. It’s like a f***ing meal.”

“Can you guys even see the scale of this?” he asked, as he tried to compare the size of the blueberry to his hand. “They are f***ing huge. They are delicious. I think the boxes are like $200. That’s crazy.”
Blanco continued to pop the blueberries into his mouth before adding, “I hope these don’t have poison in them or something.” He captioned the post, “Expensive blueberries.”
Users were quick to weigh in on the price tag of the blueberries in the comments section of his TikTok. “Sir we’re not rich enough to relate to this,” one user wrote, while another added, “I can’t even afford the standard pack of blueberries atm … this is crazy.”
Others, meanwhile, defended Blanco. “Everyone hating on him because he’s rich and can afford $200 blueberries … go be as talented as him. He earned his success and money.”
Blanco and fiancée Selena Gomez have given fans a glimpse of their foodie habits in recent months. In February, Blanco gave Gomez, 33, a trail of chips leading to a message that read, “I [heart] you” on the bathroom floor — next to a tub filled to the top with queso.
“When your fiancé [sic] isnt much of a flowers girl,” Blanco captioned the post, while Gomez replied, “I love everything bout this.. 🥰.”
When it comes to their wedding, Gomez — who got engaged to Blanco in 2024 — has one idea in mind for a unique dessert.
“Whenever that day comes, I do know I don’t want a big cake,” Gomez said in a clip shared by her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, via TikTok in July. “I think I’d want a mini one for just us that we can freeze.”
She continued, “My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy. My Nana’s biscuits and gravy — that sounds like dessert to me.”
