While browsing the Korean internet, I came across a Halloween photo that made me laugh for a long time.

Three kids transformed into Nongshim cup noodles and triangle kimbap, and it was definitely not the level of Halloween costumes you buy at the store.

One child looked like a pair of chopsticks, while another was made to resemble a black triangle kimbap. There was also a child disguised as a red raccoon cup noodle.

The writing, pictures, and colors on the packaging look quite impressive. Although the kids have emojis on their faces, just looking at their poses shows they seem really excited.

The dad's secret weapon was a printer.

Not just any printer, but a commercial-grade large printer that looks small when a person stands next to it.

The internet even described it as a "big and gigantic printer," and it seems that knowing how to handle such equipment made it possible to print everything out in one go.

At this point, the handy dad has met the right equipment.

I don't know if the kids said, "Dad, we want to do this for Halloween this year," but from the dad's perspective, it seems like he thought, "Really? Then I'll make it look just like the real thing," which makes it even funnier.

Living in America, I realize every year that Halloween is a bigger event than I expected.

Originally, Halloween's roots trace back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which later mixed with Christian culture and various customs.

Then, as Irish and Scottish immigrants came to America, the American-style Halloween culture began to develop.

Especially in the 20th century, the atmosphere changed dramatically.

It became a family event where kids dress up in costumes, go around the neighborhood shouting "Trick or Treat!" and receive candy, rather than just a day for scary ghost stories.

Now, it has turned into a massive consumer season.

You can tell when the August break is slowly ending and you visit American stores.

The entrance is all orange. Pumpkins are piled up, skeletons and ghosts are hanging, and candy is stacked in large bags like a mountain.

It's not just kids' clothes being sold. There are adult costumes, front yard decorations, lights, party supplies, and even Halloween outfits for dogs and cats.

According to a survey by the National Retail Federation (NRF), Halloween spending has already exceeded $10 billion annually.

Now, Halloween is not just a traditional event but one of the important consumer seasons that American retailers look forward to before Christmas.

Interestingly, even in this era of spending so much money, what often remains memorable is not the expensive costumes.

Instead of ordering superhero outfits online, the dad measured the kids' sizes and used a large printer to create one-of-a-kind costumes.

When the kids grow up and look back at these photos, they will probably talk about their dad before they mention Halloween candy.

"Our dad is a bit unusual. He turned us into convenience store ramen set menus for Halloween."

At this point, it's not just a Halloween costume; it's a lifelong memory created by dad.
