Adult Diaper Sales Soaring in China
Alongwith the traditional food and fire crackers, the Chinese are adding a new item to their lunar New Year shopping: Adult diapers. Reports say sales have shot up before the holiday as travelers prepare for long trips home.
Those long trips home can mean several things but in China many travel aboard trains so crowded that even the toilets are jammed with people. It's not uncommon for twice as many tickets as there are train seats to be sold in China. Those without seats must find any place to put themselves including overhead racks, between cars, and toilets.
The holiday falls on January 29 this year and the Chinese will make around 2 billion plane, train, and automobile journeys during the 40 days that surround the holiday.

Not to mention a half a million fewer AFKs while farming.
