Chronically sick of burning the same stuff every Hungry Ghost Festival?

Well, here’s the article that may yet save your day.

See, it’s 2020. And as technology advances…

So too, has the kim zua industry.

No longer are you restricted to your same-old clothes, accessories and money mixture. You’re now free to burn just about anything you wish…

Provided they’re being manufactured, anyway.

And so without further ado, here are ten unique offerings you can buy to burn for this year’s Hungry Ghost Festival…

Because let’s face it, everyone gets sian if they get the same thing every year.

10 Unique Offerings You Can Buy to Burn for This Year’s Hungry Ghost Festival

1. Drinks, Any Drink

Was the deceased a lover of all drinks soft and alcoholic? Because if he/she was…

Well, how about some Sprite or Tiger Beer to lift their spirit?

After all…

I’m sure the thirst is real… even in the afterlife.

2. Hotpot

Hotpots are all the rage nowadays, and honestly speaking…

The afterlife could probably use some hotpots too.

Though of course, I would imagine that those residing within the 18 levels of Hell would not need any.

3. Pets

Pets keep you company.

Whether it’s the conscious or unconscious world.

And with a variety to choose from, you could well gift one every year.

Could have a whole Pet Society thing going on, actually.

4. Pet Essentials

And of course, one can’t go without the necessary TLC package.

Sure, it might be the afterlife. But a pet still has to eat.

5. Smartphones

Smartphones are slowly but surely taking over the planet.

And I’m pretty sure the afterlife takes notes from the living as well.

Whether it’s an iPhone, camcorder, digital camera, MP4 or Samsung…

They’ve it all.

6. Washing Machine

Now, I can’t be sure that human needs remain the same in the afterlife. That is;

Is there actually still a need to shower every day?

Well, we can only speculate.

But as a Wise Old Man once said; it’s better to be prepared than to be sorry.

So here goes:

Dirty laundry cleansed by the power of gold ingots?

Sounds good.

7. Cigarettes

This one’s for all the smokers out there.

Though we’ll advise you to limit your purchase, because moderation is key in a universal sense.

8. Dim Sum

You can never go wrong with Hong Kong style dim sum.

And I’m pretty sure the flammable version is well worth its salt too.

Plus, they arrive in a heated state, so no need to pop them in a microwave before consumption.

9. McDonald’s

Living or dead…

McDonald’s is probably still the preferred choice, as far as fast food is concerned.

Sucks that there’s no monthly update like the physical stores though, but hey spirits can’t be choosers.

10. Pool Table

Because the afterlife needs an entertainment outlet too.
