From the moment the video of Pizza Rat — on its epic quest to drag a slice down the stairs to the L train — went viral, it was destined to become the Internet meme that launched a thousand Halloween costumes.

How long until the first, sexy #pizzarat costume hits the market? I'd like to pre-order.
— Erin Perkins (@erperkin) September 21, 2015We just didn't think it would cost a whopping $89.95. The online lingerie and costume retailer Yandy is selling a "limited edition" Pizza Rat costume that offers very little fabric for the price.
when she ask if u got that cheddar and it's a joke bc she dressed as #pizzarat but also real bc her costume cost $90 pic.twitter.com/7lapHTFcJw
— David Infante (@dinfontay) October 5, 2015I want to see a guy version of the #PizzaRat costume that's just a loin cloth made of two slices (1 front, 1 back) and a set of mouse ears
— Zoe M (@zoenoumlaut) October 5, 2015If you're really committed to baring skin while channeling the Internet's favorite enterprising rodent, you'll purchase this $15 mouse costume that looks exactly the same, sans pizza, and a $1 slice. Because no one wants the pepperoni pizza they eat to go to their hips anyway.
You can now buy a sexy #PizzaRat costume for $89.95 US! (But don't. You're better than that.) http://t.co/UunoecDN1q pic.twitter.com/Porp4qAghP
