Amazon is like a mall, lot's of sellers besides Amazon itself, selling from the Amazon tent.
I got intrigued by the number of sellers selling the same product and how the price spread and gimmicks like free shipping played out.
I did this a couple months ago so prices may not be current, and don't ask why I picked Oxi-Clean, I don't know.

Looks like a lot of work to put that info together, but it IS interesting, and if I were buying oxi-clean, I'd want to know.

What each state has more of per capita.



The site has more detail, like...

Quote:
ALASKA—veterans
The Last Frontier State is unfortunate in its per capita first place finishes for violent crime, rape, and gun violence, but America can find solace in Alaska having the highest percentage of veterans per capita, and by far the most bald eagles.
Or...
Quote:
MISSISSIPPI—conservatives
Mississippi is tops for poverty, obesity, gonorrhea, high blood pressure, infant mortality, unemployment, access to high-speed internet, people who can’t afford food, residents on food stamps, and total deaths. However, the state’s name is the most fun to spell.
Maybe...
Quote:
WASHINGTON
If you’d like your mail stolen or iPhone snatched or your car broken into you should move to Washington state. The state is tops for property crime and number of incidents is only increasing.

I'm too lazy to verify, but, I've heard that most of Kentucky tobacco is exported.

I actually thought Virginia made more tobacco.

KY?
Produces the most tobacco... per capita.
Has the most smokers... per capita.
Highest rate of lung cancer... per capita.
Most cancer deaths... per capita.

Not saying it's true, just each statement is qualified.

Oregon's problem of "Selling cigarettes to Children" is easily explained.

Adults can not afford them.

How the fuck do they say Ohio has the highest per capita of 'potty mouths?' What kind of shitty surveying is that? Some goddam mother fuckers walk around qualifying and quantifying potty coming out of a bunch of stupid assholes' mouths?

Joking aside, it is pretty fucking stupid. In all seriousness...it's bullshit probably not based in any damn kind of scientific statistics. /sarcasm font, sort of.
