We are about halfway through Prime Day, as Amazon extends its July sales event from two days to four days of deals this year. While our commerce editors are busy finding the best tech, toys, and gaming deals this week, like the Apple AirPods Pro for $149 and LEGO deals, I'm here to keep you entertained with the weirdest items on the market. I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum, so don't get it twisted. Instead, I've compiled 19 of the most random (but still cool, funny or interesting) items I could find for Prime Day right now. The below items all have 4+ star ratings, so yes, people are actually buying and seemingly enjoying these things!

In addition to the AirPods Pro deal mentioned, some of the most popular deals we've found in gaming and tech include the PlayStation Portal (Used) $124.12, the PS5 DualSense Edge Controller (Used) for $142.61, the Meta Quest 3S 128GB VR Headset for $249.99, the Apple Watch Series 10 for $279.99 and the newest iPad for $279.99.
As a reminder, Prime Day lasts through Friday, July 11 at 11:59pm PT, so there's still time to shop and add things to your cart while these discounts last. I for one haven't hit the checkout button yet, but plan to take advantage of discounts on practical things I need like moisturizer, a garlic press, socks, and peanut butter in bulk (for me and for my dog), so my cart is getting pretty full. You just never know what you may find.
