A single Cheetos chip, remarkably shaped like the iconic Pokémon Charizard, recently sold for a staggering $87,840 at auction. This unusual item captivated both Pokémon fans and collectors of unique memorabilia. The resemblance to Charizard, while perhaps subtle at first, is striking, especially given the chip is a Flamin' Hot Cheeto, known for its vibrant red color and spicy flavor. The fiery tail is a particularly noticeable feature.
