Cheryl Fox and Bao Ying of Channel News Asia reports that Valentine’s Day is not just for couples…

Nooo…. of course not! How can Valentine’s Day be just for couples? That you greatly reduce the number of suckers merchants can fleece off!

Remember, Valentine’s Day is a day when everything is overpriced for no particular reason. Nobody really knows the real story behind this day anway, which makes it even more dubious.

It is just a day where the prices of flowers suddenly increase by 5 to 10 times. Where restaurants suddenly replace their usual menu with special ones that are more costly. So how can merchants leave these poor pathetic singles off their radar? Rope them in, tell them that they too can find an excuse to get ripped off.
