This 'singles day' is one of the biggest Chinese shopping holidays, but the fact that now western countries are adopting this is indeed new. I think it's been around only for a couple of years in Europe..

Be careful what you search for, too...
I did an image search the other day for "funny butt plugs" and now Google thinks I have a genuine interest in butt plugs.

It was random. Probably bombarding everyone! How would Sunrise know about all the old ladies I hang with  | | The following 2 users would like to thank Talk to you later for this useful post: | |

You should call them today.."Hey, happy singles day. Do you want to change that?"
You don't want to know what "goats" mean in my mother tongue.
