Why Hundreds of People Changed their Names to Salmon

Күн бұрын

In March of 2021, Taiwan was struck with a strange phenomenon: hundreds of people were changing their names to "Salmon." Why would they do that? For an ad campaign, of course. A Japanese conveyer belt sushi chain named Sushiro was offering free sushi to everyone named Salmon. The offer was only good for two days, but that was long enough for hundreds of Taiwanese people to sacrifice their entire identities to take advantage of the promotion. It became known as "Salmon Chaos," and it caused the record for longest name in Taiwan to be broken three times. Of course, everyone could always change their names back after getting their free sushi. Well, maybe not everyone...

Believe it or not, this is why Salman Rushdie is named this. Accidentally spelled it wrong though.

This may be my freedom-loving America brain, but I think Taiwan's government is in the wrong for only allowing three name changes rather than the people who wanted to change their names to "salmon".

Yeah. I'm a little less on the "freedom" aspect because I don't even think they should've even allowed these ridiculous names in the first place, but now that it's too late, they really should've made an exception for people who have "salmon" in their name.
