Amazon's No Google
Begemot the cat found a packing peanut and kinda went to town on it. Fun, but we don’t want him injesting chunks of polystyrene. So I looked online to see if we could obtain any packing material that was kitteh-safe.
However, when I entered “edible packing material” into Amazon’s search bar, the results weren’t *quite* what I had envisioned.
Here are the sixteen “matches” from the first results page:
![]() |
Top result? Silica gel. Silica gel? Doesn't that shit have "DO NOT INGEST!" printed all over it? |
Saran Wrap. Well, I guess you could use it as packing material, but it sure ain't edible! | |
Wait... Decorative muffin tins? How? What? Huh? | |
A leather messenger bag. That's not packing material... | |
Apples! Well, a photo of apples, anyways. On a mousepad. Didn't those go the way of rotary phones? | |
A cold pack. Again, isn't that expressly marked "DO NOT INGEST!"? | |
Oh! Another leather messenger bag. Still not packing material, tho. | |
Dollar bill paper tissues? What the fuck? | |
Oh. An ice cream cone maker! Just what I was looking for! Now how much would you pay? But wait! There's more... | |
A V-thong. Are those edible? | |
I always protect my fragile items by packing them inside this virtual Wedding Dessert Chef Android app. | |
Nasturtium seeds! Just what I would use to protect my laptop from damage. | |
Kung Fu Panda cake topper! I guess Dreamworks must be pretty hard up for cash if they're selling these as packing material... | |
I had to look this one up. It's an exfoliating scrubber sponge. Might actually pass for expensive packing material. Don't think Begemot would be very interested, tho. | |
An airbrush! Oh fuck it, I can't even. These search results are stupider and funnier than any caption I can make up. | |
Somewhere, a woefully self-important online marketer staked his career on making sure that "Gucosamine for Dogs" appeared on page one of these search results. |
