We wouldn’t have gone a dime over five dollars, personally, but someone out there—presumably a diehard Pokémon fan with outrageously deep pockets —just dropped $87,840 on a Cheeto that achieved viral fame thanks to being shaped like a Charizard. The resemblance is… well, if you squint, maybe?

The puff officially sold at auction on Sunday for its resemblance to the character Charizard now nicknamed, “Cheetozard.”

The unique Pokémon collectible known as 'Cheetozard', a very stale Cheeto shaped like the fire type final evolution, has sold for close to $88,000

The relic is a three-inch Flamin’ Hot Cheeto that is shaped similarly to a Charizard, one of the original and most popular of the Pokémon franchise.

A 3-inch long Flamin' Hot Cheeto shaped similar to the Pokémon Charizard is up for auction at Goldin. Bidding went above $2,000.

A crisp that happens to look like the pokémon Charizard is about to change hands in a hotly contested bidding war amongst fans.

A Flamin' Hot Cheeto in the shape of Pokémon Charizard is being sold by auction house Goldin this month. The super spicy snack, which is just three inches (7.62 centimetres) long, could soon be the property of one lucky bidder. On Friday the bid stood at over $2000 (around £1580), with just over a week still to go before the auction ends.

Pokemania is out in full force, it seems, as Pokemon fans have genuinely bid four figures on a Charizard-shaped Flamin' Hot Cheeto.

A singular Cheeto shaped in the form of a Pokémon character has just sold for over $87,000. Nicknamed the “Cheetozard,” the cheesy cornmeal snack resembled one of the franchise’s main characters, an orange dragon named Charizard.
