Yeah it is interesting. I wonder if next Black Friday there will be similar results or even beat the record. I would expect Christmas to be the record-holder but maybe people would rather spend time with their family. Anyway, quite interesting!
Yea, I also await Xmas, maybe it will make an uproar on Instagram.
