You are just a damn normal bag
Recently, my sister told me that the ladies in HK have gone nuts for one item, including herself. It's something called "I am NOT a plastic bag". When I first heard it, I was like what the hell was that with such a corny name?? Forgive me for not being hip enough, but I was thinking it was book or something. Until she showed me the picture.......
It is this piece of crap that drives millions of women crazy global wide. Apparently, there were lines in many countries for buying this bag and they were gone within minutes after it was launched, including US and UK. I still don't understand what's so appealing about an ordinary bag that costs $20?? Unlike a lot of Asian girls, I don't seem to be able to figure it out.
My sister, with no exception, was thinking of lining up at 5am on the first day to buy the bag. While she and her friends were very excited to tackle this item, my eldest sister called her and told her to forget about it, because she already saw a line forming the day before at noon.
During the day it was launched, there were as many as 2000 people lining up at one store. The queue was two full circles around the mall, which obstructed the pedestrian traffic completely. To make things worse, there seemed to be a secret organization, who hired a tonne of people to line up for the bag, so that they can sell it back out with 10 times the profit. Just can't believe how the world has gone mad for just one bag!

This bag is suppose to be a pretty big deal in the US, too. I read that it sells on ebay for $400 now. I saw a woman in NY with the bag today. I was actually kind of envious....
