Weniger Frauen in Japan planen, Valentinsschokolade zu verschenken, da die Inflation zunimmt

Valentine in Japan is 100% commercial-oriented. I hate that. Christmas wasn’t even there; they started selling some useless Valentine products (not just speaking about chocolates here).

According to some videos I watched, in the US, it’s the same. I feel like the initial intent, to show love with flowers, or a small box of chocolate, became a way for companies to sell the most useless stuff with a heart on it, and just pressure people to buy, or otherwise „you’re not a good partner“.

Damn. A small box, or flowers is more than enough. No need for useless overconsumption here.

Makes sense bad economy = lower consumer spending. And unnecessary stuff goes first. The Japanese version of valentine‘s day is ridiculously commercialized, giving chocolate not only to love interests but to loads of unrelated people and creating different tiers of gifts with different meanings. Let‘s kill white day while we’re at it
