NANTONG, CHINA — In an attempt to save big bucks for the biggest Chinese shopping extravaganza of the year — Singles Day — a really smart Chinese woman decided to eat nothing but instant noodles for three straight weeks. <br /><br />Singles Day is like Black Friday on juice and apparently is the biggest shopping event in the world. Yay!<br />According to Shanghaiist, a college student named Hong Jia decided to consume only instant noodles in a bid to save some cash for the November 11 shopping holiday. <br />Then a strange thing happened — Hong's body didn't react so well to only being fed instant noodles. <br /><br />And when Singles Day finally rolled around, Hong unfortunately didn't get blow all her money like all the other shopping sheep in China, because she was in the hospital running a high fever. <br />She was forced to spend two days in the hospital — and the cherry on top? She had to blow all the money she saved to pay for her medical bills. Doh!<br /><br />But don't worry, in the end Hong did get to buy something — a face mask. Well, there's always next year.
