In 1993 a couple of Chinese fellas decided to celebrate their lack of significant others; an anti-Valentine's Day, if you will. They picked 11/11 because of all the 1s - clever, but also sort of heartbreaking.
Singles' Day quickly gained popularity in China. And that makes sense: with a population of over a billion people, there are bound to be more than a few individuals who have been third-wheeling it all their lives.
Then Alibaba struck. The biggest online store in the world marketed the HECK out of it. They sold US$38.4 billion in goods on Singles' Day last year alone.
Which proves two things. Single people clearly have more money than couples, and Alibaba have the best marketing team ever.
