You can count on the Daily Mail to publish bizarre stories. This one from April 4, 2016 discusses a new use for banknotes - women
are using them to measure how skinny they are. -Editor
A new bizarre beauty trend which sees women trying to wrap a banknote around their wrist has taken Chinese social media by storm.
In this so-called 'fitness' test, a participant is deemed to have skinny arms if the bill could wrap all the way around her
wrists. Huanqiu, affiliated with the People's Daily Online reports.
The unusual test comes just weeks after the country went wild at the 'A4 waist' challenge, which saw women measuring their
midriffs with the width of A4 paper, as well as the 'iPhone 6 leg'.
To take part in the challenge, all that is needed is a Chinese banknote which measures about six inches long and three inches wide and a
smart phone.
According to the latest craze, if the banknote rolls around your wrist then you have the perfect body.
Good thing men don't compete by trying to measure themselves. -Editor
