Amazon sold bottles of urine marketed as an energy drink, a new documentary reveals. The company also makes it alarmingly easy to sell dangerous items to children.

Not surprising in the least. I was part of an Amazon product review program, but I stopped participating after seeing multiple posts for pet treats that contained ingredients that are harmful to dogs. Reporting the listings was a nightmare, and they were never taken down.
Fuck you, Amazon.
Humans are burning down the wrong Amazon.
But inside, each bottle was filled with urine allegedly discarded by Amazon delivery drivers and collected from plastic bottles by the side of the road.
That didn’t stop Amazon from listing it for sale, though. Release even attained number one bestseller status in the “Bitter Lemon” category.
Absolutely amazing.
(No members of the public were actually sent driver urine; instead Butler corralled a group of friends into making the purchases.)
That’s good. But the fact that someone could buy it and get sent urine via Amazon is horrifying.
Knowing that Amazon processes returns based on the weight of the incoming packages, he sends back buckets of sand to get his money back—attempting to shield himself from legal liability for fraud by running everything through a shell company in Belize.
They STILL do this? I remember people saying they buy refurbished or open-box graphics cards and received bricks. That was more than a decade ago.

They’ll keep doing it until it stops being cost effective. The fact is that the number of fraudsters are drastically outnumbered by good actors, and compared to their revenue, a few missing graphics cards are literally nothing
