Amazon is either the best deal you've ever found or the worst.
Well, ok sometimes it's the same as any other place but that just washes....
Okay, this is a little off-topic because I would never BUY this, but the best weird thing I've seen on Amazon is the Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 gal. People have had a lot of fun leaving fanciful reviews about the possible reasons for buying a gallon of milk online...it's worth skimming (ha!) a few:

here's a funny one:
Quote:Online ordering of extremely perishable food is going to TAKE OFF when people realize how much fun and convenient the idea is. I got my milk just yesterday. Here are all the details!
Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz
$3.99 - Quantity: 1 - In Stock
Condition: new
Sold by: Gristedes Supermarkets of New York
I was considering buying used milk from a trusted Amazon reseller but decided against it. So you'll notice the condition of MY milk was "New." I deserve this luxury.
Here's the best part.
Order Summary
Shipping & Handling: $26.25
Why go to my local store and pay $2.99 for a galon of milk when I can have it overnight delivered for 10 times that price?
@cyphercat,
...and sorry if everyone's heard about the milk before! it was a big thing like two years ago; it's SO totally yesterday, i know... but
I still laugh about those reviews
@cyphercat,
I guess I'm out of the loop, Cyper. I never saw it before and it's very funny. Thanks.
Anchovies, to top off an order..
@Bohne,
Heely's were pretty popular about hmmmm 10 - 15 years ago. Don't see them much anymore.
I've bought a few antique children's books. One book, in particular, was published in 1887. It has stories, poems, and some educational pieces about historical characters.
The illustrations are fantastic!
