Snap offers up its dancing hot dog for Halloween

Snapchat’s parent company, Snap, is making good on its promise to investors that it would find new revenue streams.

The company bought a drone company in August and offers the photo- and video-taking product Spectacles. However, few—if any—saw this product coming.

It’s a dancing hot dog costume, just in time for Halloween.

Don’t believe me? Check out this Amazon listing.

Here’s the description for the product—which lists its seller as Snap:

  • Polyester
  • Easy 2-piece fit: Hot Dog Tunic with attached sleeves and hands, and pants with attached shoe covers
  • Convenient head/hand slits for easy access to cups, touch screens, and turntables
  • Fits best on people below 6'4" and over 14 years old
  • Made of 100 percent beef, but never starts it
  • Fresh new flavor

The costume retails for $80.

The figure has become an unofficial mascot for Snapchat. It appeared as an augmented reality feature, and later a Bitmoji.

TechCrunch reported that the costume isn’t Snap’s first foray into selling wares on Amazon. In the past, it has offered such items as a ghost stuffed animal, playing cards and a ghost backpack.
