Men in China are going crazy this shopping season as they rush for
apples kissed by air hostesses in what some have described as bizarre.
Perverted buyers are rushing apples kissed by supposedly beautiful
air hostesses in China. The new trend has seen prices of apples
skyrocket as men rush to get the apples advertised to have been kissed
by beautiful air hostess.
The ads for these apples show photographs of women dressed like
stewardesses – thought to be trainees at Sichuan Southwest Vocational
College of Civil Aviation – holding up the apples against their red
lips. Some listings even have videos of the women actually kissing the
apples.
The marketing strategy is obviously targeted at men, with lines like “take home the kisses of an air hostess.”
Some sellers claim their apples have been kissed by as many as 500
stewardesses. Others are offering custom orders, based on buyers’
preferences. The apples are priced between 9.9yuan and 129.9yan ($1.53
to $20) per fruit, depending on the variety, while some shops are
putting together ‘kiss hampers’ with apples and Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
According to information obtained from a retailer named, Meng Ling, he said: “We
are the Sichuan Southwest Vocational College of Civil Aviation. The
income from this ‘air hostess kiss’ campaign will be used to set up a
University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurial fund to help more
students realise their career dreams.”
“Another portion of the income will be donated to an old people’s home,” he added.
Many men have caught the bug of the new trend and almost every man
wants an apple kissed by an air hostess. However, the scheme has met
severe criticism as many have complained about the deceptive nature of
the advert.
“I was expecting Apple to be one of the best selling products, but not real apples,” an online commentator joked
