Just when you thought the internet couldn't possibly get any stranger, a Flamin' Hot Cheeto has officially made more money than most people make in a year. One uniquely shaped snack looking like Charizard, now dubbed the mythical Cheetozard, has reportedly sold for close to $88,000 at auction.
That's correct, someone just spent luxury car money on a 'spicy corn puff with good posture.' Between this and people selling concert air on eBay, it's obvious that the internet will make literally anything a collector's item.
As soon as the news came out, someone (@7u7_contrax) took to his X account and commented:
"He is the legendary cheto"
The internet has weighed in. This is not merely a snack, it's a 'mythical artifact.' "Cheetozard" has officially reached 'legendary status,' joining the ranks of that one perfectly round rock everyone fights over and that one perfectly spherical rock everyone brawls over.
At this point, it wouldn't be shocking if it had its own Pokédex entry: "Cheetozard: A rare, spicy creature worth more than your car."
And so, the internet has discovered its latest fixation - a Flamin' Hot Cheeto with 'celebrity status.' The fans did not hesitate to clog social media with memes, jokes, and arguments on whether this snack is meant to be in a museum or a 'very pricey lunch.'
Some are amazed, some are stunned, and others are just angry they didn't look into their own chip packets earlier. Let's take a look at what the internet has to say about Cheetozard's legendary ascent!
