Giut Co Hon (Offerings Snatching of the Spirits)

Wealthy families and some large corporations, mostly in Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown, occasionally distribute substantial gifts, such as little amounts of change that add up to a significant number (of millions of VND). As a result, some people and kids frequently assemble in areas where there are abundant offerings in order to steal money and food. This is referred to as "Giut co hon" in Vietnamese.

Some of them participate because they can make a lot of money from it, while others do it for enjoyment and use the offerings. Some of them take this tradition very seriously. Additionally, business owners frequently think it is luck when customers grab their products.

On this occasion, wealthier individuals also donate vital products to the poor, such as rice and noodles.
