Workers in the northern Spanish city of Bilbao reported that a group of enthusiastic singles formed a flash mob and “overwhelmed” a Mercadona store.
When police arrived, the crowd immediately dispersed, and nobody was taken into custody during the event.
Singletons are reportedly attracted to the grocery chain’s locations because they can discover romance there if they visit between 7 and 8 p.m. and place an upside-down pineapple in their cart.
Following that, people are urged to locate others who have the same fruit arranged in the same way by heading to the wine aisle.
They will bump their trolleys against each other’s to show interest in striking up a conversation if they like someone.
If they feel the same way, they can just start talking or bump back, according to Olive Press, an English-language news website located in Spain.
A few individuals sucked by the TikTok frenzy have gone so far as to record videos documenting their adventures.
The article claims that other things in a person’s trolley reveal more about their goals.
For instance, seeing chocolates or other sweets indicates that the other person is seeking a committed relationship or something more serious.
However, the magazine claims that a lettuce or legume indicates that they are searching for something more informal.
