    Nothing will convince me these high value auctioned shaped snack food events that happen every decade or so aren’t just advertising stunts

    For less than $87,840 I’m pretty sure I could hire a full time food scientist to reverse engineer Cheetos’ recipe and production techniques and make a custom Cheeto in whatever shape I want.

      You would think that, as I did in a past life.

      Years I spent searching for the perfect shape. Face of a frog, goat penis, a confused truffle… never could get a pokemon…

      My life has been wasted, save yourself

      Why not just remodel existing Cheetos into a new shape? I’m pretty sure that with the right tools and some time you can cover up any marks of manipulation.
