What were the most imaginative products on China’s top e-commerce platform this year?
Each November 11, also known as the “Singles Day” shopping festival, TWOC compiles a round-up of some of the most imaginative products China’s e-commerce merchants have tried to sell online.
With 2021’s edition of the world’s biggest shopping event poised to overtake all previous years’ numbers, with 550 billion RMB’s worth of sales forecast, so too have the weirdest products on e-commerce app Taobao grown even more creative this year.
A once-in-a-lifetime deal or an “IQ tax (智商税)?” Will you regret it when the balance comes due? You decide. TWOC bears no responsibility for any of the listings.
