With Chinese New Year coming up on February 14th, many fobs will be burning paper joss money to worship their ancestors. But what started traditionally as burning a few wads of fake cash has now grown to become a whole industry of elaborate, pimped-out paper products. Take for example the paper gym, equipped with a paper bench press, treadmill and shower. And these paper afterlife luxuries aren’t cheap either–the gym costs a hefty HK$6000 (US$772).
HK blog The Dark Side wrote a hilarious list of top 10 “must-burns” for pimping out one’s ancestors’ afterlives. Here are my favorite picks from their list! Check out their full post here.
#3: Beer – Nuff said.
#4: Mac D’s – Great hangover food, especially after having lots of #3.
#6 ATM – Why burn paper cash when you can give ancestors a whole ATM!
(Thanks Dunks!)
