If you haven't seen Squid Game yet, it's basically a combination of Hunger Games and Battle Royale mixed with some schoolyard games. Contestants compete for a large sum of money by participating in challenges based on childhood games, and if you fail, the consequence is death. Thanks to this café, you now have an opportunity to try one of those deadly challenges.

Palette, a local Korean café located in North Melbourne, is now selling its own dalgona candies. The honeycomb toffee lollies are flat discs that are stamped with a symbol like a circle, triangle or umbrella. The challenge from the show is to carefully carve that symbol out from the base of the candy without breaking it.  

The candies will be available in-store on weekends for a limited time, so head over and pick a few pieces up to try the challenge with your friends. Unlike those competing in the show and luckily for you, your life is not on the line if you lose.
