Unicorn Seeds

Amazon continues to allow sellers to profit from mythical plants via blatant and openly fraudulent listings.  One example being the black strawberry offered by Plantgrabber and Eforecase--the latter actually being fulfilled by Amazon.

The lovely picture being an obvious Photoshop job.

Something Blue

You can buy a lot of different things on Amazon. Even several things that don't actually exist. A blue variety of strawberries for example. These are offered by Treasures by Lee and Plantgrabber offers seeds for an equally mythical black variety.

You can also buy seeds for equally non-existent bright blue roses (Home Grown) and peonies (Big Bargain).

Offering seeds is smart. the buyers cannot know immediately that they are conned.  And if the seeds do not sprout they may never catch on.

Amazon continues to approve reviews that point out these sellers are perpetrating a transparent scam--and continues to let them do so.

How is it that on retail websites like Amazon handbags are a sub-category of shoes?  Do most women really know that you have to click on "shoes" to even find bags?  Really? Is it time I surrendered my girl card? Because is so, why am I shopping for handbags in the first place?

Aerosoles Review

My review: I found these shoes ran very small.  The memory foam insole was kind of crunchy and fell apart. Also I only received one, and not a pair. One day I came home from work and found most of it had vanished.  That night the dog was very flatulent.  I have no idea why.

P.S.: as of July 15th Amazon no longer allows customers to upload images of products.  Good forbid one of us try and load a picture that is actually of a shoe.

Self Taxidermy?

I just noticed that if you search Amazon for "taxidermy supplies", the second largest category of results is "Beauty: self tanners and bronzers".

A Little Roomy?

Amazon asks me to: "Rate this packaging."

I give it an F.
