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.

There are recipes for Cheatos on the Internet. I haven't made any of them but they exist.
