Dozens of these 'funny items' are sold every day, and there is no need to laugh, because they really work! Emirates 24l7 crashed the mall in search of the five most interesting, shocking, incredible or tackiest sales items. Wonder soaps If you are looking for a change, a walk through Dragon Mall will certainly serve you well. They are stacked up in every corner; soaps or beauty products that will make you fairer, younger, bigger, tighter, more vital, more energetic, more enticing… If you were not shocked by the wonders these soaps can do, the ingredients will certainly knock you off your feet. There is the placenta soap; made out of animal placenta, this will make your skin look younger. Sheep extracts do the same. And garlic is an attribute used in shampoo. "The placenta soap is our top item. It really works and people buy it a lot," says the sales lady behind the corner. "Whitening products do very well too." The magic bars are affordable for the change they promise to make; they do not reach above Dh50. Unique shirts If you go out of your way to be the only one in town with that particular shirt, Dragon Mall is the place to be. These t-shirts are not unique if it was not for the fact that they display words and texts unheard off! What did you think about a 'Burbepp' t-shirt? You will be the first and only. You might want to be part of the 'Never give up Genation'; then this jersey is for you. Or, if you would like to puzzle your friends, go for the shirt with the unknown language: apart from the two-line English poem, it reads mysterious lines such as 'to think you're pree', redrocker' and 'ritnico British tic'. Slimming products As in every part of the world, people find endless ways to lose weight. The assortment of Dragon Mall will certainly keep you busy for a couple of hours, as the slimming products are countless. 'Sleep slim' is one of the appealing items called. "You put this plaster on your navel while you sleep. It vibrates, so in the morning you should have lost weight," tells the sales lady of the stand. In another shop, we find slimming tea, slimming coffee, slimming cream and many slimming capsules. "These capsules are doing the best," says the sales man. Off course it all really works. Wrongly spelled name tags Who would not want to have his name spelled out in Chinese? Whether you are a Michael, Fatima, Carlos, or Ania; leave it to the authentic calligraphist and she will spell it out for you. But, do not forget to ask for translation. In the window of the shop the translation of Malia, Sarah, Fatma and Hannan is showcased. "This means 'salad'!" says Cookie, a Chinese resident of Dubai, when she reads the translation of 'Sarah'. "Last time I came here almost all name tags were spelled incorrectly. While the lady writing the tags is a native speaker, this means she knows that the name tags are wrong!" Gangnam style legacy The song may have disappeared from the charts, the Gangnam style legacy continues in Dragon Mall. The options are limitless; Gangnam style t-shirts, dolls, keyboards, twirling music boxes, dancing puppets; some do not even resemble the Korean singer Psy, but they all have the melody. One round in Dragon Mall and the melody will stick with you for at least the next few hours!
