What's the weirdest thing that Amazon has recommended for you?

Or any other site.

Amazon just recommended a box of Fellowship cups. That is tiny sealed plastic cups of wine for church services. I'm a teetotal Atheist.

They also recommended a bunch of perfume(fine) when I was in the middle of buying perfume, which makes sense but then it randomly threw in a child's Spiderman bike helmet for some reason.

You do have to love algorithms.

Oh wait. It's actually just grape juice, at least until Jesus arrives.

I was once recommended my own book by Amazon!

I love these. Now I'm wondering if they're in cahoots with TUI?

Did you buy it? Grin

I've had the Viagra recommendation a few times but not yet from Amazon.

A life-size cardboard cut out of Danny DeVito.

I have no idea why.

A life-size cardboard cut out of Danny DeVito.

Who wouldn't want a pocked sized cut out of Mr Devito?

I almost want to buy one now just to see if it is actually life sized.

I've just been recommended some men lederhosen which is a wee bit baffling! 🤔

Mens novelty socks- sushi patterned
A seven foot inflatable palm tree
Nunchucks
A weed grinder with a picture of a bart simpson on it

As far as I know I have never searched for anything similar to those items- it does make me wonder what the algorithm has decided about me

I’m inundated with adverts for fishing/angling equipment. Tons of the stuff. Never been fishing. Never bought anything remotely related to fishing, or even anything outdoorsy.
