As the Mooncake Festival approached, a man from Changjiang district in Guangdong province, China, found himself in a humorous situation. After purchasing a five-bean mooncake as a gift, he unknowingly received the same mooncake back within half a month, passed around by several hands.

According to a Chinese media report, the man shared a brief video saying, “This mooncake box has travelled a lot.” He purchased the mooncake on September 6, produced on August 24, and gave it to relatives two days later on September 8.

After some investigation, it was found that after he gave the mooncake to his relatives, they gave it to other relatives, who then gave it to friends, who in turn gave it back to him, reported Sanook.

Within just 12 days, the mooncake box had changed hands five times. The man laughed at himself stating, “I’m the only one who paid for it, and inescapably, I have to be the one to eat it.” The video went viral, sparking heated debates among netizens.
