If you have absolutely nothing better to do, as I did this afternoon, there's a section on Amazon containing a list, with links, of Amazon products that users have identified as "oddities":
http://www.amazon.com/tag/amazon%20oddities/ref=tag_dpp_cust_itdp_t Among them: Pierced Attachable Nipples Magic Answer Me Jesus Wolf Urine Lure Trichogramma Pretiosum: 12,000 eggs (currently unavailable, alas) Gorilla Snot ("developed by and for professionals") Rechargable Horse Trimmer (in case your horse is too big) Stink-Free Stink-Finder Ultra-Violet Light and Flashlight Inflatable Party Sheep Heinz Spotted Dick Pudding Chicken Poop Lip Balm Olives in Pain Pet Tornado And so forth. In some cases, users have left very funny reviews of these products. Other products cry out for such reviews. The classic collection of Amazon user reviews--good for wasting another perfectly good several hours--is found for the product Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz (currently unavailable). There are currently 962 reviews. Examples (many are much longer; some are actually short stories): You glutenous Americans take the nourishment from starving calves' mouths just so you can live the Britney Spears high life. I rate this product one star with the hope that it will deter just one person from buying it. That will be one more extra gallon available for a deserving, helpless calf. In summary, please, think of the calves and do not buy this product. And: I conducted some research on this product, and I am sad to report that no user manual is included, customer support is nonexistent at best, there is no warranty, and you have to buy the most basic accessories such as a fridge and the cookies. And don't get me started on the battery... And: U.S. media continues to focus on the price of gas to distract us all from the REAL issue: rising prices of MILK! A gallon of milk (from our own country) continues to be more expensive than a gallon of gas from the Middle East. Coincidence? I think not. And: This stuff is amazing! I ordered some the other day and selected express shipping so the total was like $35.00 for a gallon of milk, but it has changed my life. My once bald head is now covered in thick, Fabio-like hair, my impotence is cured, I no longer have vertigo, dementia, incontinence, ringing ears, depression, psychosis, post-nasal drip, explosive diarrhea, herpes, or the plague. Thank you Tuscan Milk!! I am totally getting this for my wife for Christmas. http://tinyurl.com/25mzu8
