Someone spent $88,000 to own 'Cheetozard,' a viral Cheeto shaped like Charizard from Pokémon

'Cheetozard,' a Cheeto in the shape of the Pokémon Charizard, sold at auction for $88,000.

In late 2024, a 3-inch-long Flamin' Hot Cheeto went viral online for its likeness to the third evolutionary phase of the fire-based starter Pokémon of Gen 1, Charmander. In a video, which has since amassed more than half a million views, they wrote, "We’ve had the Cheetozard for about 5 years now and we totally forgot we had it until cleaning out the safe!" It takes a certain kind of individual with deep pockets to spend $718,750 on the door from Titanic, but at least with that, you don't run the risk of eating it absentmindedly.
