Squid Game is a Korean show popular across the globe, with several fans in India. Catching the trending show, a few creative thinkers in Manipur set up a Squid Game-themed roadside stall. Digital creator Lanchenba Meitei shared a video of the stall on his Instagram handle. In the clip, we can see the stall owners selling Dalgona candies in the shapes of umbrellas, triangles, stars and circles. Further, they are dressed in pink with masks, just like the guards in the series.
The stall banner reads "Dalgona" and "Squid Game" along with a picture of the protagonist Seong Gi-hun, with a Dalgona candy in his hand. The background has a poster of the doll from the game 'Red Light, Green Light'.
In the background, one can hear the trending song 'Round and Round' from the show's second season.

The video has gone viral on Instagram. Take a look at the comments section:

Another commented, "I would love to try this dalgona."
