“I’m being Harley Quinn for Halloween,” said everyone. Well, not everyone – there were Ken Bones, Jokers, Trumps, and Hillarys. But there was also a huge number of people walking around with buzzcuts wearing dresses because going as characters from Stranger Things was just as popular as you’d imagine. Specifically, if you were dressed as Eleven.
It’s an easy costume, really. Short hair? Check. Dead stare? Yep. Trickle of blood coming out of your nose? Easy-peasy. Pink dress? Ask your girlfriend. And if you really wanted to sell it? Head to the store and pick up some of Eleven’s favorite food: Eggo Waffles.
As evidenced by Google Trends, searches for “Eggo Waffles” hit an all-time high ahead of Halloween, which is pretty impressive considering most of us have been eating them well before Google was even a thing.
As you can see, Stranger Things has done wonders for the brand and for everyone who wanted to mail it in this Halloween and dress like an 80s kid. Who knows? Maybe next year people can dress as Barb if she ever comes back from the other side. .

The real question here is, what were people trying to learn by Googling Eggo Waffles?
This makes me feel like an old man, but I can’t wrap my head around why someone would need to Google Eggos. Just go to the store.
I’m a pathetic excuse for a human so naturally I started Stranger Things last Friday. These posts are really bustin my balls
Power move by Kellogg’s after that listeria scare.
If PGP dressed up as Stranger Things, Duda would be Barb.
I can’t believe Stranger Things caused searches for Eggos to exceed the previous max due to the Nov. 2009 Eggo Shortage.
