Russian entrepreneurs are cashing in on the holiday season by selling twigs online as `perfect snowman arms,` with prices ranging from 500 roubles ($4.80) to 5,300 roubles ($50).

Advertised as `strong, reliable and unique, these wooden arms are marketed as must-have snowman accessories, promising to make your snowman the envy of the neighbourhood. Despite the humorous sales pitch, the pricing seems arbitrary, with flimsy twigs sometimes fetching higher prices than sturdier ones.
