Herbal medicine shop owners in the Guangdong province, China — Liang Caiyu and He Xiansheng, both in their twenties, struggled to start their business until they began to post about it on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok. They noticed how similar they looked and started wearing similar outfits to emphasise their likeness even more, thus using it to their advantage to attract a larger audience. Surprisingly, these clips have become their promotional material for their shop.

Liang has said that they did not look alike when they first met, but when they began to spend so much time eating, sleeping, and working together, the likeness became so obvious that it was impossible to ignore. Her husband was initially very introverted, he eventually agreed to star in the clips, sometimes even cross-dressing to show how similar they looked. People began to follow them and said they looked like identical twins, noticing that even their chin folds match!



This couple is a living example of how people claim that soulmates look the same, or grow to look indistinguishable after some time together. The couple’s resemblance went so viral on Chinese social media that people have begun asking them weird questions that enquire if they are long-lost siblings, and suggesting that they take a DNA test. Sounds like a Bollywood movie in the making...

The word ‘chubby’ cost the hubby

Spouses’ love terms of endearment. However, one must have rarely witnessed marriages being broken over a nickname. In Turkey, a couple split over the fact that the husband had saved his wife’s number as “Chubby” on the phone. The wife said she felt that the nickname was derogatory and degrading. Soon enough, the Turkish court ordered him to financially compensate his wife for the emotional damage. Best to stick to the easier names like cutie and munchkin than resorting to something like Winnie the Pooh.

Groupism got me here

This trend began as a harmless way for music artist Sophia James to get her new single “So Unfair” out. She bullied the algorithm to get a higher reach, for which she made multiple videos — including stuff like receiving a parking ticket with her song playing in the background. She later assigned her viewers groups based on the order in which they viewed the videos. However, the viewers belonging to Group 7, after viewing the last video, got marked as the “elite group” or the “hot girl group”. Many social media users are still confused about what Group 7 actually is.  

Smug smile, please

A latest craze on social media claims that you can tell a lot about a man’s “endowment” from the way that he smiles — it needs to be a little smug smirk, sometimes with the teeth, that exudes his confidence.  As the gossip takes the internet by storm, the “hung smile” fans — as they call it, cannot stop gushing about how their favourite actors have it, especially David Corenswet from Superman (2025).

Clocked him!
