Amazon told the world that yesterdayâs âPrime Dayâ was going to be âbigger than Black Friday,â but for thousands of shoppers who flocked to the website, it wound up being a bigger joke than Chief Keef.
The site quickly ran out of items that were actually useful like 40-inch TVs listed for just $115, so shoppers were instead left perusing through things like that 55-gallon drum of lube we told you about last year.
Letâs be honest: Even Hugh Hefner would have problems finishing this puppy off, and the Internet let Amazon know about that yesterday:

Heralded as the âUltimate Lube Kegâ from Passion Lubes, guys like Derek Jeter or a frat house of dudes with one-percenter parents can get 55 gallons of lube as well as a lube pump for the low price of $1,361.80, and thatâs 46 percent off the normal asking price. Youâll have to hurry, though, as there are just three barrels âo lube left in stock.
But even if you arenât in the market for 7,040 ounces of slick or donât think the IRS would consider it a write-off, you can still find pleasure in reading the âCustomer Questions & Answers.â Here are our two favorites:
