%name FEATURED    Funniest Amazon product reviews youve ever seen by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

With hundreds of millions of items for sale, from electronics and books to pet supplies and diapers, Amazon is unquestionably the largest online retailer on the planet. In fact, Amazon, from a market cap perspective, is even larger today than Walmart.

One of the reasons why Amazon is such a popular online destination is that many products are accompanied by hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of product reviews from everyday consumers who can speak with first-hand authority to the merits of whatever item is being considered. As a result, consumers are able to make more informed shopping decisions and steer clear of items they might ultimately regret purchasing. Of course, with the Internet being what it is, Amazon’s vast library of product reviews are also filled with a good number of sarcastic, biting, clever, and downright hilarious responses. Some even speculate that these reviews may be responsible for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ distinctive laugh.

So without further ado, listed below are some of the best and funniest Amazon product reviews we could find. Buckle up, these are pretty golden.

%name FEATURED    Meet Bird, a device that could find itself at the center of your connected future by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Back in January at the annual Consumer Electronics Show, I saw the future. It’s a bright, exhilarating future where nearly everything around us is connected. The “Internet of Things” isn’t just a buzz term, it’s the start of a transition toward that connected future, when the devices in our homes, offices, cars and on our bodies all communicate and automate.

Meet Bird, which could very well be our first glimpse at that device.
