When the COVID-19 began, Carolina Tolladay Vidal’s party business suffered immediately. People cancelled parties and no one was buying piñatas from her business in the American state of Alaska.
A piñata is a container usually filled with small treats—like candies, fruits, or gifts. It is hung up at parties or celebrations. A person, likely a child, with eyes covered would hit a piñata with a stick. And the objects inside would fall to the ground for everyone.
Tolladay Vidal said recently that many of her projects were moved to other dates. “Many,” she added, “were canceled.” She had to find new ideas to bring back her business. So, Tolladay Vidal decided to make large, red piñatas shaped like the coronavirus (冠状病毒).
After she shared a picture of her handmade coronavirus piñata on social media, she said the orders started pouring in. She explained why so many people want to beat up a coronavirus-shaped piñata. “I think you really smash them and break them and hit them with meaning,” she said, “because it has been tough for everybody.” Rose Consenstein, age 8, agrees. She said, with her eyes covered, she could not see it. But that did not stop her from “beating the heck” out of a coronavirus piñata at her birthday party.
