Surprise Shopping: Poppers on Amazon
“Surprise Shopping” highlights online shopping and catalog results which don’t match what you expect.
They say you can buy anything on Amazon. Sure enough, you can even buy poppers!
(For the puzzled, “poppers” are a mild inhalant drug used primarily by gay men during sex. They produce a muscle relaxation effect and usually a high or even mild hallucigenic effect; different brands have different intensities and durations of these effects, usually lasting only a few minutes. Originally amyl nitrate based and intended for treating heart issues like angina, they were sold in tiny glass vials wrapped in a cloth sock; you “popped” the glass to release the drug. Poppers are technically illegal and their manufacture is unregulated; if you use them, you probably don’t want to think too hard about it.)
Beyond the fact that you can actually buy these from Amazon, though, is what else shows in the list when you search for them. Check out the screen capture from the Amazon app on the iPhone.
