A Cheeto shaped like the beloved Pokémon Charizard has sold at auction for $87,840.
The Goldin auction house listed the snack as sold on Sunday. The buyer has chosen to remain anonymous. In addition to the snack, the buyer also received a storage box and a Pokémon card. Bidding lasted nearly a month. The opening price was just $250.00. The winning bid came in on March 2.
“Presented is a 3-inch long Flamin’ Hot Cheeto in the shape of the Pokémon Charizard, affixed to a customized Pokémon card and encapsulated in a clear card storage box,” the auction's description states without noting that the sale price rounds out at nearly $30,000 per inch.
“It was initially discovered and preserved sometime between 2018-2022 by 1st & Goal Collectibles. The Cheeto surged in popularity on social media platforms in late 2024.”……..
