5 of the Strangest Amazon Prime Day Deals

Read MoreHide Full Article

Today is Amazon’s (AMZN - Free Report) annual Prime Day, a special celebration for its members with thousands of exclusive deals. Prime Day has been hailed as “the new Black Friday” as millions will flock to the site to hopefully score an amazing price on electronics, home goods, clothing, and more.

While many Prime customers plan on finding the best deals on things they need or want, Prime Day has also proven to be an incredible holiday for the impulse buyers of the world. Simply put, Amazon puts up a lot of stuff on its Prime Day featured deals list, and if you browse all of the offers you are sure to find something you didn’t know you needed until you saw it.

In other words, there’s a lot of random stuff on Amazon, and Prime Day puts these products front and center. I guess there really isn’t a better time to buy something strange than when it’s over 50% off. Here are five of the weirdest Prime Day deals we spotted:

1.       Human Centipede Blu-ray Set

If you don’t know what this is, I’m very happy for you. The Human Centipede film series has been the feature of countless double-dog dares for years now, and its plot involves mentally insane villains surgically attaching victims from end-to-end. Sounds pretty messed up right? It is, trust me, but if you’re into that kind of thing, you can score all three movies on Blu-ray for a great price.

Regular Price: $39.42 / Prime Day Price: $29.99 / You Save: 21%

 

2.       Cheese Making Kit

If you’re like me, you didn’t know that cheese was something that could be made at home via a “cheese making kit.” Heck, this one even has an accompanying DVD! I can almost guarantee that no Prime customers woke up today with crossed fingers hoping to get their at-home cheese game on at a low price, but this offer quickly sold-out, so it must be popular.

Regular Price: $115.00 / Prime Day Price: $34.99 / You Save: 80%

 

3.       Shark Slippers

Ok, I’ll admit it: I’m jealous I never had these as a kid. If you’re an incredibly young Prime customer, or (more likely) a parent shopping for their kid, Amazon has your back with these awesome slippers. Once again, shark slippers fall into a unique category of things you only need once you see them for the first time.

Regular Price: $28.00 / Prime Day Price: $16.99 / You Save: 39%

 

4.       Mustache Wax

People with amazing mustaches don’t just wake up with an amazing mustache every morning. An amazing mustache takes time, energy, and apparently money. Because not all body hair is the same, mustache wax is needed to groom those whiskers right above your lip, and Amazon made sure their customers had a great value on this product today.

Regular Price: $10.77 / Prime Day Price: $8.61 / You Save: 20%

 

5.       Reusable Straws

I’ve never seen anything like this before, but I have to say, it’s a pretty great idea. Drinking out of a straw at home is a classy move, but drinking out of a reusable stainless steel straw is just a boss move. It also helps when that boss move is environmentally friendly.

Regular Price: $12.95 / Prime Day Price: $7.15 / You Save: 45%

 

Bottom Line

Compared to Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday is boring. Spare me your door buster deals on TVs and iPads, I want 20% off on mustache wax, and I want it now!

In all seriousness, there are some great deals today for Prime Day, but you have to weed through some interesting items first. Happy shopping Prime customers!
