With Halloween just around the corner, a new meme template has taken over the internet with some hilarious costume ideas.
If you’ve ever dressed up for the season, you’ll probably be familiar with the Spirit Halloween brand’s orange costume packaging which features a description of the costume and an image of what it looks like on the front.
In typical social media style, Twitter users have got creative and photoshopped some funny pictures and costume descriptions on the packaging as part of a new topical meme ahead of the spooky festivities.
One Twitter shared a photoshopped costume package which described it as a “gay loser” and featured a picture of himself on it. He captioned the post: “never shopping here ever again.”
The post went viral getting almost 287,000 likes and sparking a string of other hilarious memes just like it.

It appears that some of these mems are so convincing that Spirit Halloween had some explaining to do.
\u201c@EdwinBJr This is not an officially licensed costume from our company. Photoshopping our packages seems to be trending at the moment.\n\nWe will be passing this to our review team. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. \ud83c\udf83\u201d— \u201cRed The Witch\u201d Is Out Now!!! (@\u201cRed The Witch\u201d Is Out Now!!!) 1666538107
