Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Snapchat Dancing Hot Dog Costume was Created by Snap Inc.

— October 20, 2017 — Social Media

The costume consists of a two-piece getup that will instantly transform anyone into the dancing AR character from the social media app. This acknowledges how real life is beginning to mimic digital life rather than the other way around as consumers continue to spend more of their time interacting online.

The Snapchat Dancing Hot Dog Costume was described in detail by the brand when they explained, "Have fun, impress your friends, and achieve your wildest dreams (probably) with the Dancing Hot Dog costume! Perfect for any dance floor, from flattened cardboard to picnic tables. As the world’s first augmented reality superstar, you can now dress up as everyone’s favorite all-beef b-boy and have a dance battle with the best of them."
