Little me Halloween costume carousel
Also known as: Little me's costume, walked back to the real photo
A Halloween photo carousel on one shared sound: slide 1 claims a cute childhood costume over a flattering picture, each next slide walks the claim back a little (it was a bee, it was homemade, it was my sister), and the last slide is the real, awkward childhood photo with a one-line apology.
A claim about your past that each slide quietly walks back, so the viewer swipes for the truth; the real, unflattering photo is the payoff and the apology is the joke.
Proven. Went 5× past their usual views for at least 3 creators, or for one creator running it as a series. Fresh: creators have only just started posting it.
