How Did a Charizard Cheeto Sell for This Much? I Don’t Get It

Well, fellas, a new form of investing has been unlocked, and it might be the tastiest version yet.

A Cheeto shaped pretty much exactly like the legendary Pokemon was auctioned off for $87,840 at the Goldin auction house. I’ll repeat… $87,840. What?

1st and Goal Collectables discovered the unique snack between the years of 2018-2022, and a recent surge in social media popularity led to the group deciding to cash in.

I wonder how many $100,000 Cheetos I have eaten in my lifetime.

There were 60 bids on the item with the winning bid being $72,000 as well as an added premium. Honestly a $16,000 fee is kind of insane but then again so is a freaking Cheeto selling for tens of thousands of dollars.
