What’s Trending: A proposal straight out of a fairytale, China’s baby-making bet & how much can you ‘steal’ in one minute?

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alexandra Parada discuss three very different stories that are trending today, from romance and creativity, to thrill-seeking retail, to serious population policy. First, a filmmaker went viral after proposing to his girlfriend by editing himself into a wedding scene from Shrek, then re-entering the room in the same suit to propose in real life. Over in Tokyo, a pop-up store is turning shopping into a silent adrenaline sport, charging customers to “steal” whatever they can carry in one minute, as long as they make absolutely no sound. And finally, in a much more contentious move, China has begun taxing condoms and other contraceptives in a bid to boost its falling birth rate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
