Netflix's Squid Game is an international sensation and now you can make the sinister candy from the show at home. Without giving away any spoilers, the South Korean show is based around a series of popular children's games, and one of these is called Ppopgi. In this particular game, players are tasked with removing a certain shape from a piece of dalgona candy - which has a similar color and texture to honeycomb, <a href="https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/650792/kit-can-help-you-make-dalgona-candy-netflix-squid-game">Mental Floss</a> reports. The game features in the third episode of the series, titled 'The Man With The Umbrella', and players are instructed to completely remove their selected shape from the dalgona candy without breaking it. If they break it or fail to do so in the set time limit, they lose. Now, you can make the treat at home with the help of Amazon and an <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Korean-sugar-Candy-Making-DALGONA/dp/B07B2R8HQF/">$18 kit</a> that contains everything you need to make the candy: a ladle, a tray, a press, a scraper, and some molds. All that you need on top of this is some sugar and baking soda, and you can bring a part of Squid Game to life no matter where you are in the world. <img class="wp-image-1263128501 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/10/Screen-Shot-2021-10-04-at-11.48.46.png" alt="A candy-making kit." width="719" height="480" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Amazon]] The first step you'll need to take to make the candy is heating the sugar over low heat on the ladle, making sure that you're stirring it constantly the whole time. Once it's melted, add a pinch of baking soda and continue to stir until you notice the color has changed. You'll know that the time has come to turn off the heat when the mixture has turned the color of dalgona coffee, and it's then that you should pour it into the baking tray and flatten it with a candy press. Then lightly press the mold on top before the mixture sets. After this, wait until the mixture is completely cool and hardened and you can have a go at your very own Squid Game challenge at home (just with fewer final consequences).

The co-CEO of Netflix Ted Sarandos said: "It will definitely be Netflix's biggest non-English language show in the world and it's a very good chance it's going to be our biggest show ever." However, the popularity of the show has not been without consequence, and it has caused such a huge surge in traffic for South Korean broadband providers, that one has filed a lawsuit against Netflix. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/skorea-broadband-firm-sues-netflix-after-traffic-surge-squid-game-2021-10-01/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Reuters</a> reports that SK Broadband has filed the lawsuit on the grounds that Netflix should "reasonably" assist financially to help the provider cope with the increased traffic. A Netflix spokesperson said in a statement to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/01/south-korean-internet-service-provider-sues-netflix-over-squid-game.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CNBC</a>: "We will review the claim that SK Broadband has filed against us. In the meantime, we continue to seek open dialogue and explore ways of working with SK Broadband in order to ensure a seamless streaming experience for our shared customers." <h6>Featured image credit: Alamy / REUTERS</h6>
