Amazon Illustrated: Giant Mutant Ants!

The Internet is a very strange place. Take a serious look around and you will find no shortage of flame wars, porn, rage comics, atrocious grammar, porn, advertising, porn, and forums and communities built around every bizzare topic imaginable.

But once in a while, people on the Internet come together just to have fun. And sometimes such a thing can grow a mind of its own and become bigger than any of the contributors... and it can be downright hilarious.

This is one of those times.

Allow me to present this tin of Uranium Ore available on Amazon.com for the low price of $49.95 USD! (Plus shipping.)

Yes, this is a REAL product.

Let's see what reviewers have to say about it, shall we?

--------------- 247 of 260 people found the following review helpful 1.0 out of 5 stars Movies Lie By Melvazord - See all my reviews This review is from: Uranium Ore Do not be fooled by this product. I bought this along with four terrapins and a rat (since I couldnt lay my hands on a warthog and a rhino). I rubbed this product into my skin and gums then rolled around with the terrapins and the rat. Long story short I did NOT end up with my own crime-fighting mutant superhero team. The rat bit me and I crushed the terrapins. Also I now have a strange rash and Im coughing up blood, whats up with that? Avoid. --------------- 9,068 of 9,225 people found the following review helpful 3.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, Poor Packaging By Patrick J. McGovern "Procrastinating Evil Scientist" (Hollowed Out Volcano Lair) - See all my reviews This review is from: Uranium Ore I purchased this product 4.47 Billion Years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty. --------------- 2,924 of 3,047 people found the following review helpful 4.0 out of 5 stars Ok for cleaning teeth, not so great for killing ants... By Nero Goldstein "Bemused by a Muse" (The Great Nation of Texas) - See all my reviews This review is from: Uranium Ore Picked this up for use in one of my kid's 'diversity' projects in school (Great Success!), and stuck the leftovers in the cabinet next to the baking soda. Ran out of toothpaste, and remembered how you're supposed to be able to use baking soda to clean your teeth, so of course, I accidentally used this instead, and Wow! all I can say is, my teeth have never been cleaner! They sparkle, they tingle, and for some reason, they STAY clean now, no matter what. Highly recommended! However, when I ran out of that fire-ant killer powder stuff, I figured I would try some for that too. Big mistake! Boy, it sure did not kill those ants!

Fortunately, those suckers get slower as they get bigger, so I have been able to use a shovel to take care of most of them, one at a time though, the sneaky devils. And the darn trash man refuses to take them away.. I would have given this product 5 stars for the teeth and the project on embracing diversity, but I deducted one star because of the giant mutant ants. ---------------

I pulled out some of the best, but there are literally hundreds of these reviews. Want more? Here you go!
