Author : Mila Mar 16,2025

A unique Cheetos chip, remarkably shaped like the iconic Pokémon Charizard, recently sold for a staggering $87,840 at auction. This bizarre intersection of culinary and collectible culture captivated Pokémon enthusiasts and collectors of unusual items alike. While the resemblance might be subtle, the chip's fiery tail, a result of its Flamin' Hot Cheeto origin, is undeniably Charizard-esque.

According to Goldin Auctions, 1st Goal Collectibles discovered and preserved the chip between 2018 and 2022. Its fame exploded in late 2024 after going viral on social media.

Prior to the auction, the chip was featured on collector platforms like Arena Club and 1st Goal Collectibles, sparking debate about the wisdom of such extravagant purchases. Is it a shrewd investment or a sign of overzealous collecting in the Pokémon market? Regardless, the sale highlights the increasing fascination with rare items and their value within niche communities.
