With Stranger Things Season 2 about to return, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) is set to be the defining Halloween costume of 2017. But what will all those buzzcut-sporting wunderkinds eat? Well, in the show Eleven is obsessed with a North American brand known as Eggo – aka frozen waffles – and if you’re unconvinced about the connection, just check out the picture above, or all the Insta-tributes to Eleven’s Eggo habit at the bottom of this page.
