Disgruntled shoppers took to Twitter to lodge complaints under the hashtag #primedayfail while staring down sales of granny panties, shoe horns, and 55-gallon drums of lube.

Shoppers expecting sweet deals were disappointed by offers on a motley array of merchandise likened to a garage sale and the storage in your parent’s basement. We looked at some of the absolute shittiest items yesterday, like multitool sleeves for your lighter and a two-pack of balaclava.
But there was a silver lining: the hashtag #primedayfail, which provided levity and continues to be a source of humor and Amazon roasting:

That feeling when you're craving an oreo, only to find someone put an empty box in the pantry? That's how #PrimeDay feels. #PrimeDayFail

Reading tweets about #PrimeDayFail is more exciting than #PrimeDay itself.
