I have just added a set of bathroom scales to my basket. Previously in there was a set of small, kitchen coffee scales.
So, Amazon added, in the "Related to" bit of the page, .... a pair of Wellington-type boots.
So okay, boots fit on feet? Check. I get on scales by standing on them. With my feet. Check.
But wellington boots are "related to" either bathroom or kitchen scales? Really, Amazon? Seriously?

Looks like amazon algorithm put it in the wrong section lol.
I've had a few head-scratching suggestions, but that one just .... tickled me. I wonder if they expect me to drink out of a rubber boot, or stand on bathroom scales?
If the latter, I want to know what else they think they know about me? Or whose been using my Amazon account and has a rubber fetish because, for the record, it ain't me.

They all say that...Originally Posted by Saracen999
Are either set of scales mains powered? Maybe they don't trust your wiring skills?
They do?
I bow to your evidently superior knowledge of those who say that. I don't know anybody.
Erm nope. IIRC, AA batt's in one, and definitely AAA in t'other.
Nice try.

Maybe it's a Boots branded set of scales.....
I'll get my coat!

Fish have scales
Sole is a type of fish
Fish are wet
Wet soles = Wellingtons
Obviously.
Beef Wellington, weighing the ingredients thereof. Obvs.
(are any of the suggestions ever all that related? can't say I've noticed, but have just tested it at random with a tin of spaghetti bolognese.. sponsored 'products related to' include a pack of 10 coloured felt tips. sponsored is a pain in the neck full stop at amazon anyway, though.)

Some of the Facebook adverts are interesting. Haven't got a clue what they things are, or where you insert them.
Oh, groan.
Still, looking on the bright side, at least I now know where to apply a boot, still attached to my foot.
I thought my puns were bad. So does my wife. But that ....

The way this thread is going (about how I expected, TBH) I think I'm going to need several pairs of boots because, well, I really don't want them back, once extracted.
