A photo of the sign, which appeared in an RT-Mart store, went viral this week on Chinese social media, where posts about it on the Twitter-like platform Weibo racked up more than four million views. /@迷惑行為大賞/Weibo/

The sign was labeled as a “suggested women’s sizing chart,” and laid out the different heights and weights associated with clothing sizes. Each size also included an adjective used to describe it: Small sizes were “skinny” and medium sizes were “beautiful,” while large sizes were “rotten” or “terrible” and XXL sizes were “extremely terrible.” /CHINGSANGHOIH GUITE/THE HAUTERFLY/

CNN Business has not independently verified the photo and it isn’t clear which store featured the controversial sizing chart. However, RT-Mart on Thursday “deeply” apologized for the incident in a statement posted to its Weibo account. /sixthtone/
