Valentine's Day can be hard when you don't have someone special, but it's even harder when that special someone dumps you on or around the holiday.
Research has shown that around one in 14 U.S. adults have broken up with somebody on Valentine's Day. That's 7% of people. Another 6% said they have broken up just after Valentine's Day (which is how February 21st has come to be known as National Break Up day).
The fact that there are people willing to wait until after they get their Valentine's Day‘s gifts to dump their special someone says a lot about our culture ...
... But not nearly as much as the fact that there are so many companies running specials celebrating the break-up.
The list just keeps growing.
Pizza Hut will let you send your ex a break-up pizza. 👇
You can name a cockroach, vegetable, or rodent after your ex and feed them to zoo animal 👇
You can name a feral cat after your ex before spaying or neutering it 👇
But the big problem with all these vengeance promos is that they're geared toward an angry partner. What if you're on the receiving end of being dumped, and you don't want vengeance on your lost love - you just want a little comfort?
Well, P.F. Chang's has you covered.
From now until National Break Up Day, if you get dumped, they'll give you a free dump-lings appetizer.
It's like the old Chinese proverb says,
'If you can't get love, get fat.' — Retropfucius circa 2024
According to their website, heartbroken patrons can:
Receive a six count of dumplings by sharing a breakup text now through National Break Up Day on February 21st.
Text 855-697-6181 with CHANGSDUMPLINGS to redeem offer... Because your heartbreak is at least worth a free appetizer.*
The terms say that you'll have to spend a dollar or more to get the free dumplings, but that shouldn't be too hard.
It's P.F. Chang's after all.
