Amazon told the world that yesterday’s “Prime Day” was going to be “bigger than Black Friday,” 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.
Let’s be honest: Even Hugh Hefner would have problems finishing this puppy off, and the Internet let Amazon know about that yesterday:

Heralded as the “Ultimate Lube Keg” 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 that’s 46 percent off the normal asking price. You’ll have to hurry, though, as there are just three barrels ‘o lube left in stock.
But even if you aren’t in the market for 7,040 ounces of slick or don’t think the IRS would consider it a write-off, you can still find pleasure in reading the “Customer Questions & Answers.” Here are our two favorites:
