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.

Oh shit that completely slipped my mind, but I’m not really all that up to speed with Amazon products.
That’s fair. Honestly, it was kind of a dumb move on their part to name their tablets “Kindle Fire” on release, as it confused almost everyone with what was an e-reader and what wasn’t. By the time they returned it to just “Fire” / “Fire Tablet” to match other product families (Fire Phone, Fire TV), the damage was done. The only reason I can keep it straight is the fact that I worked on them for a decade.
I mean it’s kind of genius marketing though, just straight up comically villainous/evil, like we’re living in a cartoon. One of the top 3, if not the top 1, companies has branches called “The Amazon Fire” while we’re literally fucking burning the rainforests in Amazon down. Amazon Kindle, Amazon Fire. That shit is just evil.
