A Cheeto resembling the wildly popular Pokémon character Charizard fetched a staggering $87,840 at an auction held over the weekend. According to Goldin Auctions, which facilitated the sale on Sunday, the weirdly shaped snack food of the Flamin' Hot variety "was initially discovered and preserved sometime between 2018-2022" by a collectibles store in Georgia. After being showcased online last year, the oddity dubbed 'Cheetozard' went viral in the Pokémon community in which fans are known to drop sizeable sums of money to acquire hard-to-find cards.
