Taiwanese fashion brand NET has ignited a social media frenzy with its latest canvas bag, humorously dubbed the "Taiwanese Value Bag."

Freedom: 10000

The bag's label playfully lists ingredients like "22 administrative districts, delicious" and "Freedom: 10000." It also highlights "Diligence: 100%," "Passion: 500%," "Bravery: 100%," and "Let the world see us: 1000%," while humorously stating "Communism: 0%." A notable disclaimer reads, "Daily intake percentage depends on your personal feelings," adding another layer of satire.

One netizen on Threads shared the bag, joking that its "Taiwanese value is too high," even pointing out "innate psychological flaws of Taiwanese people." The post quickly went viral, with many expressing a desire to purchase the bag.

Communism: 0%

Popular voice actor "Sunday Dubbing is Right" shared his immediate purchase, noting the bag comes in red, black, and beige. He posted a photo of his new acquisition on Facebook, exclaiming, "Taiwanese value has broken through the sky."

The bag's "Made in China" label, however, became a point of further amusement. Many found the contrast between its "full of Taiwanese spirit" design and its manufacturing origin to be a source of ironic humor, with some suggesting this very contradiction elevates it to an "artistic" level.

This bag's Taiwanese value is too high, it even writes out the innate psychological flaws of Taiwanese people, too ruthless.
