Sonic Totem
The Sonic Totem is one of the Relics of Fail, though more shrouded in mystery than any of the others. Created by Chris in middle school and made out of paper mache, it is one of the oldest known Christorical Artefacts, as well as one of the oldest known artefacts to have survived the Destruction of Chris's House.
As a result of the Financhu Crisis, Chris sold the totem for $1,500 on 7 April 2017.
Originally, the totem was joined by a set of two separate objects; one of Pikachu and an effigy in the form of a plate depicting Sonic. It is currently unknown if these other artefacts have survived.
The totem has been featured very little in any of Chris's videos. After the Destruction Of Chris's House, many assumed the Totem had been destroyed, but it suddenly reappeared in full view during Chris's Lesbian Sleepover Party Announcement, and went on to make its most major appearance to date several years after the fire; IMG 3207, (the video where Chris dry-humps a blowup doll trying to get a lesbian couple to mother his baby.)
Offering it for sale
On 7 April 2017, due to the Financhu Crisis leaving Barb's bank account $800 in the red at the beginning of the month, Chris finally acknowledged the existence of the Sonic Totem by putting it up for sale along with a small collection of useless garbage on eBay for $1,500. He filmed Sonic Totem and More to advertise it.
Chris got the idea to list the totem for sale after a Kiwi Farms user sent him the suggestion as a joke.[1] Naturally, since the troll had offered $1,000, Chris decided to raise his own asking price by 50%.

The bonuses he advertised with the totem consisted of a Skylanders avatar card ($15), T-shirt ($25) and figure ($50), as well as a figure of Son-Chu ($40).
