The recent swimsuit special is so PG. It's nothing like the 90s and i assume the same for this one. The Marvel Rivals game makes the swimsuit like they use too.

The recent Swimsuit special reflects current times...speaks to a new generation i guess

I'm a bit surprised this is returning. I remember those in the 90s. But they're fun.
It's absolutely silly but it's the best kind of silly.
