Amazon‘s newly-extended Prime Day event yields 48-hours of mindless browsing through the online marketplace. While there are plenty of Prime Day deals to discover, there are also troves of wacky products to find.
Here are 12 bizarre items you can buy on Amazon:
1. A 20 carat, $325,500 engagement ring.
Amazon
Rachel Koen 20.11 Fancy Deep Brownish Yellow Cushion Cut Diamond Engagement Ring, $325,500
This cushion cut, 20 carat diamond has VVS2 clarity and is GIA-certified, but the description suggests that the diamond’s GIA color rating is beyond a Z, meaning it is very yellow, as opposed to clear.
(For reference: Paris Hilton’s engagement ring was 20 carats and worth $2 million, but its color rating and clarity were likely far superior.)
The description says the Rachel Koen ring, set in 18k yellow gold, "is all sparkle and shine yet classy to wear every day without looking over the top."
2. Frog dissection kit.
Amazon
Home Educational Resources’ Frog Dissection Kit, $19.95
For those of us who weren’t scarred by 11th grade biology dissections, Amazon sells a frog dissection kit. It includes: scissors, a scalpel, forceps, teasing needles, 10 pins, a tray, an illustrated dissection guide, and an "extra-large preserved grass frog."
3. Edible fake poop.

The Original Edible Fake Poop – Prank Gag Gift by FUN Delivery, $9.95
"Let’s face it — the old rubber fake poop is so limiting," FUN Delivery writes in its product description for fake edible fake poop. "Sometimes you just need to pick it up and have it squish between your fingers for the right effect." The fake poop comes as a powder that you mix with water and pipe out of the plastic bag it arrives in. The product is totally edible — its ingredients are: rice flour, tapioca flour, cocoa powder, and sugar.
