I'm thinking of doing Halloween as HCFS. Any suggestions on a costume design?

[laconicsax]

I want to be able to go out into the neighborhood and strike fear into the hearts of uninformed morons.

1. haha

maybe a shirt with it spelled out on the front, with the chemical formula on the back

[Orrex]

2. If you sneak out of the house, you could go around syruptitiously

9. Ouch, dude.

That one hurt. :rofl:

[Warpy]

3. Bottle of Mountain Dew costume

and grin with blacked out teeth.

4. I said HFCS, not redneck.

[Warpy]

5. I can think of no finer example of something crammed with HFCS

and demonstrating its effect on dentition is just extra value.

You DO want to be scary, right?

Were I invited to a Halloween party this year, I'd go as a Jehovah's Witness, copies of the Watchtower snagged from the neighborhood laundromat.

6. It'd be cool to go to a Halloween party as Jack Chick

There could be no finer instance of ironic costumery.

7. I went as Nancy Reagan in 1980

and yes, people were scared.

14. This shit is fucking scary, yo.

8. I think Aspartame would be scarier

Then you could have the benzene ring all ove it and say POISON POISON POISON...

10. Well, there's yet another thread where you could try your costume out for effect.

[laconicsax]

11. It isn't ready.

I was going to do a white sheet style ghost costume with C₆H₁₂O₆ on the back, but everyone keeps guessing that it's glucose...

[charlie]

12. Go as yourself

Say, "I'm HFCS, damn glad to meet you. And ooooh, I'm scaaaary."

When they laugh and say, "Get the fuck outta here", you can say: "Exactly".

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. You know what I like about those threads...

there's always some goofus who posts the disclaimer that he doesn't know shit about chemistry, and then goes on to prove his point.

[HuckleB]

15. So, how is the costume coming along? -eom-
