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.
