A whole family dressed up like Tevya and his family from Fiddler on the Roof. It was so adorable, and very well done.... I think mm was in burlap sacks, or brown paper bags or something....

A family named Weinberger did a Burger King theme. They copied the logo of Burger King to Weinberger, one child dresses as a Burger & one as a wine. MM was a wine & a burger made of large honey cookies as bun, green fruit leather as lettuce, round Brownie as Burger red melted chocolate as ketchup. Was wrapped in a takeout container. It was the most original thing I ever saw.

A family in my community did "Cow Jumps Over The Moon". The Abba was the Moon, The Ima was wearing a dress covered with stars, and the kids were calves.

A friend of mine did an outer space theme and it looked really sharp and different! They were all in silver from head to toe, they had space helmets (even the little kids), and their MM was in bags decorated as rocket ships. (It was obviously taken from this past year's Met Gala theme. She did an incredible job.)

Kids were cops, parents were cartoony robbers (like the Hamburglar). They gave out coffee and donuts.

twin boys (age 4ish) who had labels all over saying either "yossi" or "leibel". they came up with the idea themselves.

Someone in my area dressed up as said emoji on purpose. So the answer to your question is yes, he did know.

Someone with a dark sense of humor who was married to someone for a short while, and then the guy died, dressed up as an amazing DIY black widow spider costume. pun intended.

For those who know Yiddish: a little boy was dressed up as a man with 3 heads: He was a Drei Kup!!

My nieces and nephews dressed up like really cute astronauts and the baby ( a boy, 3 weeks old) wore a stretchy with stars.

A family dressed up like Goldilocks and the 3 bears, they have two kids, so the boy was a bear and the girl was goldilocks and the parents were the momma bear and papa bear.

My kids were also different emojis. I don't like uncomfortable, bulky costumes. My kids just wore yellow t-shirts with different emojis traced directly onto the t-shirts; no circles.
It was my literally last minutes inspiration. I'm in my first trimester and feeling really out of it so I didn't get round to buying costumes this year. I thought of these on Shabbos and we made them on Motzoei Shabbos after Megilla reading.

Thanks, any chance you could post a picture of it or link to it? Or just type up some of the best lines?

Not this one. They did it themselves, and they're not the type to get Ami. But I guess it wasn't as original idea as I thought.

MM is supposed to be ready-made, ready-to-eat food.

Only one needs to actually fulfill the mitzvah requirements. The rest are gestures of good will and it doesn't matter if they're ready to eat, or only contain one food.
