Arabs hilariously mock Black Friday on Twitter

Black Friday is held annually on the Friday after Thanksgivings in the U.S. 

The mega sales day, also regarded as the start of the Christmas shopping season, sees thousands of retail stores offering discounts reaching up to 90 percent. 

Now while Black Friday is originally specific to the U.S., given that it's related to several events in the country's history, it has slowly made its way to the rest of the world, including the Arab region. 

Why? 

No one seems to know, including Arab social media users who continue to question its relevance. 

Things weren't so different this year, because as soon as Arab brands and retail stores started to advertise for it, tweeps hilariously shut them down. 

Given the fact that Friday is a day set aside for worship in many countries across the region, numerous Arab brands use the term "White Friday" when promoting their sales. 

"I really want to know why we have Black Friday in Egypt."

"What Black Friday love? Our days are already black as it is."

"I gave a beggar 1,000 L.L, he gave me half of it back..."

"If something costs $500 and you buy it for $350, did you save $150 or spend $350?"

"What does Lebanon have to do with it...? I have no idea."
