Amazon sells almost everything and anything these days, including some pretty strange things that you would not have expected to find on an online store.
When you do spot a particularly ridiculous product, like the banana slicer seen above, you may want to read the review section—chances are, you will come across some seriously funny reviews.
Brainpickings has curated a choice selection of humorous reviews found on Amazon—while some are simply absurd, others are written as witty and subtle commentary on current social and political issues.
From an Edgar Poe-style poem about a gallon of milk to an epic 764-word essay on the merits of a tongue cleaner, these ingenious Amazon reviews would make you laugh and wonder if there is really hope for internet-enabled mankind.
