Love on Aisle 9? A TikTok Fad Fills Grocery Stores With Singles
Briefly

The recent trend of 'dating hour' in Spanish supermarkets, sparked by comedian Vivy Lin, has turned mundane grocery shopping into a quirky social event, humorously facilitating connections.
Vivy Lin has observed that between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., the aisles of Mercadona are filled with single men and women, creating a unique atmosphere suited for casual flirting.
Through social media, participants creatively engage in this phenomenon, dressing up and making humorous videos, thus transforming a typical shopping experience into a playful pursuit of love.
While the trend may not lead to serious relationships, it serves as a fun excuse for people to socialize and enjoy themselves in a lighthearted environment.
