This might have a shot at the best Halloween costume this year.

Online costume emporium Yandy has cashed in on the Ozempic weight-loss drug craze with a new Halloween costume inspired by fat-fighting injections.

“Everyone is doing it,” wrote the costume bazaar on its site, where the company has infamously hawked sultry, if strange, Halloween getups inspired by current events like a COVID-19 pandemic-themed hand sanitizer getup of 2020.

Emblazoned with the words “Snatched: Semaglutide Injection,” the costume allows revelers to cosplay as an anti-flab jab, such as Ozempic, which was one of the most talked-about drugs of 2024.

The satirical outfit, titled “Sooo Snatched Costume,” features a two-piece set vaguely fashioned to resemble an Ozempic syringe, with a skimpy, body-hugging blue and orange tanktop-style dress and pill-box hat.

If it exists, there's going to be a "sexy" costume. This is just the standard.

If you want to see the bottom of the barrel in creativity, step into your local Halloween store, where everything will be reduced to "show tits".

Kind of like a Halloween version of Rule 34.

It’s kinda a struggle to dress up as one’s favorite anime/video game/comic character, too.. for largely the same reason.

I was about to foolishly say “but sonic doesn’t have tits”.

Never ever forget about rule 34. I need some eye bleach.
