How Much Would You Pay for a Cheeto That Looks Like a Pokémon?

Food News!

A Flamin’ Hot Cheeto that kind of looks like a Pokémon character just sold at auction for an INSANE amount of money!

Fans think it looks like a Charizard …one of the rarer characters… so it got the nickname “Cheetozard.”

A place in Georgia called 1st and Goal Collectibles went viral last spring after posting a video of it.  They said they’d been hanging onto it for about five years.  It’s three inches long, and they framed it to look like a trading card.

So how much did they get?  An online auction site called Goldin listed it last month with a starting bid of $250.  Pretty pricey for a single Cheeto.

But the auction didn’t end until this past weekend…and it sold for $88,000! 

The winning bid was 72 grand.  But when you tack on fees, it’s $87,840.

Whoever bought it apparently thinks it’ll be worth even more than that someday.  Or …it would be way cooler if they bought it just to EAT it.
