Snapchat just released an $80 dancing hot dog costume
If you still don't know what you're going to be for Halloween, don't worry. We've found just the thing.
Snap Inc. has released a Dancing Hot Dog Costume today through its online Amazon store. The costume sells for $80 and is even available for two-day shipping — making it a great option for anyone still scrambling to find a costume.
Finally, you can rest assured knowing that the awful cliché costumes you've been considering until this point -- like a Kylo Ren, a Minion, and Harley Quinn costume -- can finally be taken off your list. Nothing is going to be anywhere near as fun as a freaking dancing hot dog, and anyone who's not planning on wearing this to their next Halloween party needs to get with the times.
Oh, and did we mention it's only $80? Don't worry about dumping your beer money on a Halloween costume -- you can't put a price on the hilarity of a hot-dog-filter snap with a real, living hot dog. It's going to be totally worth it.
The costume itself is an easy two-piece fit. It's technically a tunic, with attached sleeves and hands. The accompanying pants match the same red of the actual hot dog filter, and are even attached to red shoe covers, so even the most cynical of your party guests won't suspect that you're not the real thing.
We know what you're wondering: Can I Snapchat while wearing Snapchat's costume? Fear not. There are slits in the hand covers, so you can crank out an emergency Story update at any point.
Oh yeah, also, apparently Snap makes costumes now. That's right, this hot dog is the real deal -- it's made by Snap itself.
If you think your parties could use more Snapchat swag, but aren't on the market for a hot dog costume, check out the ice tray, backpack, beach towel, and playing cards that the brand has floating around.
But we think $80 is a small price to pay for this greatness. What else are you going to spend your money on? Real hot dogs?
