How it's used
Originally a Japanese retail tradition, the term has been fully adopted into Hong Kong shopping culture, especially during the Lunar New Year. It implies a sense of surprise or gambling, as the contents are hidden and sold at a discounted bundle price. You will often see these promoted in department stores or by lifestyle brands to clear out inventory.
