10 Craziest Things You Can Buy in China! (Part II)

We’ve decided to follow up on Cole’s last post about wacky consumer-available items in China. You really wouldn’t believe what you can find!

Food Prepared, Cooked, And Served By Robots

If you had the option to choose between humans and robots preparing your meals… would you prefer the latter? Well, if so, China is probably your ideal destination. You can get your hands on one of the actual robots for the surprisingly affordable sum of $2,000 (US).

Dwarf Tours

Perhaps the emotional abuse of vertically challenged adults amuses you. Perhaps you’d like to boost your self confidence through making yourself seem tall. Maybe you’re just in for a quick laugh. If any of the aforementioned reasons tickle your fancy, why not take a tour in a village populated exclusively by the losers of the genetic lottery? You’re sick. Then again, so are we.

Live Turtle Key Rings

In China, live animals are surprisingly legal to keep on your keychain! If questions raised concerning the survival capabilities of the entrapped specimen don’t seem to bother you, why not drop some pocket change on a squirmy good luck charm?

…People?

OK, so maybe this one is a bit of a stretch… but yes, you can technically purchase white people in China. It’s not so much “slavery,” as it is “renting a person.” These rent-able white people are utilized in the Chinese business world in order to feign success or American connections, thus impressing others or demonstrating legitimacy.

Tea Leaves… with a Twist!

 

You might be thinking, “what’s so comical about tea leaves?” Well, these tea leaves aren’t picked by just ordinary people… they’re delicately plucked off their stems by the lips of hired virgins. Yes, we like to keep it PG here at The Daily China, but we also seek to inform you about Chinese culture… and this was too juicy to omit. I like my tea leaves pure!

Thanks for reading! We hope these odd consumer items serve to entertain you. 再见！
