$500 for a Tortilla?

So this morning, I was channel surfing when I came across this game show on CBS. So, I watched it for an hour because I had nothing better to do with my time.
But, anyway,
So, when you went to the show, you had to dress up in crazy costumes. Then, if you were picked, the hosts would ask you if you had a certain item.
WELL,
for starters, this one guy dressed up as Popeye, and he got $100 for bringing a can of spinach.
But what REALLY amazed me, is that this girl (I really don't know what her costume was) was asked if she had a tortilla, and guess what, SHE DID.
So they gave her $500 dollars.
Anyway
See Ya!!
-The Magical Dinosaur with Wings that is amazed that this person got $500 for owning a tortilla
