s/o Prime Day- most ridiculous Amazon purchase?

[candreco]

This is making me laugh this morning and I'm scrolling through my old orders to see if there's anything really WTF.

Anyone have ridiculous Amazon purchases?

A 6 pk of Newman's Own cinnamon mints. They were so awful and there were so many of them. I later read the reviews and it seems most people buy them just for the tins.

A very cute elephant watering can that I've never used, because I have no plants. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KL6YYK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Once I placed an order for 1,000 coffee filters. Legitimately it would have taken me 3 years to get through if I made a pot each day. Alas, they arrived and I ordered commercial sized huge coffee filters by mistake. I went to return them and it was one of those items they just decided to refund me fore and told me not to bother shipping back. I donated them to the art teacher at my kids school to use for random projects.

I can't see the article since I'm out of views for the months, but I ordered like 6 million dog poop bags 4 years ago and we've only gotten through about 1/8th of them. I think I truly bought a lifetime supply.

I’m usually good about checking dimensions but recently I’ve had a couple amazon purchases that were way smaller than anticipated. One was supposed to be a giant kids find the picture type book. I know several other people with this book and my kids love it. When it arrived, it wasn’t even a normal size book. It was miniature book - like 2x4 inches which is so small it’s hard to read or find the pictures. I got a good laugh out of it, and my kids still loved it. Bonus that it takes up less space.

My son came home from school after a holiday this year with a bagful of misc. candy, one of the pieces was one of those dum-dum suckers - butterscotch! I set it aside for myself, forgot about it and one night DH ate it on me. Purchase a one pound bag of them from amazon, and most of that bag is still sitting in my dining room.
One other odd purchase: a whole case of chi-chi’s corn cake mix that I can’t find in grocery stores anymore

A case of caffeine rich sports gels for when I was training for a marathon. I needed a couple for race day and accidentally ordered a full case. They’ve been sitting in my pantry for almost 2 years.

I’ve ordered the wrong screen cover for my iPhone TWICE. Like I ordered for 7 plus instead of 7, then ordered the correct one. And like an idiot when I went to reorder I went through my old orders and clicked buy again on the WRONG ONE.

The most ridiculous thing I've ever ordered on Amazon (EVER) was a box of Entenmann's donuts. (The chocolate crumb ones.) The bakery that makes them out here doesn't make that flavor, so I had to order them online for like, $30 one year after I spent an entire summer trying to explain them to my masters team.

My biggest disappointment was the time I ordered a mylar sleeping bag (don't ask) and got a mylar recovery blanket. BLANKET =/= SLEEPING BAG, AMAZON. (They refunded me, but made me order the correct item from someone else.)

Definitely this costume from a few years ago when David was SUPER into the golden ninja from Ninjago. It was such a fucking spectacle.
