That's an expensive snack

A Flamin' Hot Cheeto in the shape of a Charizard – a Cheetozard, if you will – sells for $87,840, proving Pokemon fans really will spend their money on anything.

As reported by Go Nintendo (and originally spotted by Polygon), the three-inch long Cheeto in the shape of a Charizard has sold at a Goldin auction after first being found "sometime between 2018 to 2022." So, I wouldn't recommend eating it as it's probably very stale by now, but it does look pretty cool.
