If you had any doubts whether we're living in the weirdest timeline, doubt no more—a Cheeto shaped like Charizard (AKA Cheetozard) is currently up for auction at Goldin and has already reached a scorching $11,400 at the time of writing. With 36 bids so far, the auction is set to end tomorrow, meaning there's still time for some snack-loving Pokémon fan to break the bank for this crispy collectible.
The official listing on Goldin describes the Cheetozard as follows: "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. 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."
Now, I'm not a complete lunatic, so I personally will not be bidding on a potentially seven-year-old snack, but hey—you do you. If you think it's worth roughly 12 grand, go right ahead and place your bid before the auction ends. Just make sure you have a solid financial plan and maybe a backup snack that won't crumble into Cheeto dust the moment you touch it.
May Arceus have mercy on your wallet.
Update: The Cheetozard was eventually sold for $87,840!
