You gotta catch them all, and one person just caught a hot Cheeto shaped like an iconic Pokemon character for a hefty price.

Shaped like the character Charizard, and nicknamed Cheetozard, the uniquely shaped hot snack was sold for $87,840 by Goldin Auctions.

The item auctioned off was a 3-inch long “Flamin’ Hot Cheeto in the shape of the Pokémon Charizard.” Charizard was part of the first generation of Pokemon released in the 1990s and is one of the most iconic and beloved Pokemon, only behind Pikachu.

The unique Cheeto was sold affixed to a customized Pokemon card with its name, Cheetozard. According to Goldin Auctions, the hot Cheeto was discovered and preserved “sometime between 2018-2022 by 1st & Goal Collectibles.”

According to the listing, 60 bids were received on the Pokemon-shaped hot Cheeto and the winning bid was $72,000. The final price came to be higher than $87,000 due to a “buyer’s premium.”

  6. I read the quote as “Money is good for nothing, unless you know the value of the experience,” even though that wasn’t the quote. Maybe God rattling me out of my immediate judgement of this person. Maybe they know something about this experience of this – Cheeto I don’t… lol.

  11. I am always gobsmacked when I read these stories of an insane amount of money put towards an insane thing. If you wanna give your money away, why don’t you choose a much-needed charity?

  17. Oh my goodness…I saw the headline about this but didn’t click in to see the actual “Cheeto”. Yuck. That’s my first reaction…and the second reaction? Naughty words about other ways that money could’ve been spent…just sayin’…
