Benny Blanco expands 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 on Saturday, August 23, on Tiktok.
Blanco proceeded to place the box in front of the camera, revealing 35 individually wrapped blueberries. When Blanco picked up one of the berries, he exclaimed, “This is crazy.”
Blanco held up a single blueberry to the camera before raising it to his mouth and biting it in half. “Okay, I’ll taste it,” he said, before exclaiming, “Oh my God. It’s like a meal.”

“Can you guys even see the scale of this?” he asked, trying to compare the size of the blueberries to his hand. “They’re huge. They’re delicious. I think the boxes are like $200. It’s crazy.”
Blanco continued to stuff blueberries into his mouth before adding, “I hope there’s no poison in them or anything.” He captioned the post “dear blueberries.”
Users were quick to weigh in on the price tag for blueberries in his TikTok comments section. “Lord we’re not rich enough to deal with this,” one user wrote, while another added, “I can’t even afford a standard ATM package of blueberries… this is crazy.”
Others, meanwhile, defended Blanco. “Anyone who hates him because he’s rich and can afford $200 blueberries…gotta be as talented as him. He earned his success and his money.”
Blanco and fiancé Selena Gomez have been giving fans a glimpse into their eating habits in recent months. In February, Blanco gave Gomez, 33, a chip trail that led to a message that read, “I [heart] you” on the bathroom floor — next to a tub filled to the brim with queso.
“When your fiancé [sic] doesn’t have many flower girls,” Blanco captioned the post, while Gomez replied, “I love everything about this fight.. 🥰.”
When it comes to their wedding, Gomez, who got engaged to Blanco in 2024, has one idea in mind for a unique dessert.
“When that day comes, I 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 like a mini one just for 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.”
