No One Will Remember The Ice Bucket Challenge In Two Months, But This Costume Still Exists

No One Will Remember The Ice Bucket Challenge In Two Months, But This Costume Still Exists
At your next Halloween party, do me a favor and stop tongue-kissing zombies and making excuses for drinking like a college freshman with something to prove– just for

a second– and take a picture of the crowd. Take a picture of the crowd, and look at that picture five years later. If you can remember the source of all the quirky

pop culture references your friends are wearing, I’m sorry I doubted you. However, if you’re squinting your eyes and wondering why every single woman is wearing

flesh-colored underwear and ten tiny ponytails and a giant foam finger, then you get what I’m talking about. Costumes based on memes, the weird shit celebrities do,

and cultural buzzwords? They can be funny, but they can also be… stupid. The Ice Bucket Challenge Costume is an example of the latter.

Even though I’m a fan of any novelty costume whose product description begins, “ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease is a serious illness that destroys nervous cells and

lives,” I’m still trying to wrap my mind around how this is a thing. Basically, for the very reasonable price of $39.99, you can be the proud owner of a clear rain

poncho with crudely drawn ice cubes all over it. And because drunk people love keeping track of props, you also get the pleasure of holding an ice cube tray in one

hand and a heavy bucket over your head with the other, for the entire night, lest people think you’re dressed up like a transparent tablecloth.

Shoutout to Steven Perlberg for finding this little gem and posting it on Twitter, and shoutout to Jezebel for their list of ways you can use it. The mentary around

this costume is almost funny enough to make me want to buy it. Almost. Not really. …No.
