"Noah Bryant, 4, is a big fan of the cartoon sponge, and recently surprised his family by spending $2,618.85 on 918 popsicles from the online superstore, sent to his aunt's house. Though the youngster was all smiles in a photo with one of the frozen SpongeBob pops, the splurge was no laughing matter for his mom Jennifer Bryant."
My first thought was it was Alexa. But if she handed her phone to the kid to play with, and the app might have had some stuff in the cart already, or if the browsing history was of SpongeBob, it could happen. They have one-click ordering. My cat can almost order stuff off Amazon. He loves to play with my ipad.
I fail to see how this is a topic for the Politics and Other Controversies forum.
The OP was wondering out loud if this was a scam. They've collected quite the tidy sum.
BTW, that's darn near $3.00 per popsicle, I haven't had one in many many moons, but that seems pretty dang spendy.
I'm just waiting for someone to mention race, and then this topic will fully deserve to live in this forum.
