A quirky snack has turned into a valuable collectible after a Cheeto shaped like the Pokémon character Charizard sold for thousands of dollars at auction.
The unusual snack, nicknamed “Cheetozard,” resembles the famous dragon-like Pokémon Charizard from the globally popular Pokémon franchise.
The rare-shaped Cheetos snack attracted attention from collectors and fans during an auction held in Dallas, United States. After competitive bidding, the snack ultimately sold for several thousand dollars, surprising many observers.
Unique or oddly shaped snack foods have occasionally become prized collectibles, especially when they resemble famous characters or objects. Collectors often preserve them in protective cases to maintain their condition.
Auction organizers said the novelty item gained viral attention online before the sale, which helped drive interest and push the final price far higher than expected.
