As most of you know, I test web sites for a living.  A project I’m working on right now deals with an international vendor who sells a huge amount of random items from electronics to toothpaste to sunscreen.  I was testing to see if an item that was posted on their test site would display on the production site.  Fortunately it didn’t but when I ran my first search with the generic brand names of “Creative Labs”, I inadvertently got the following products back.  See the first and third item.

Imagine buying that and trying to explain that “work-related” expense to not only the accounting department but also to your significant other!  A lot of times we have to buy actual items on these sites to verify the functionality is working in production.  Little did we know this site appears to have EVERYTHING!

“Honest, honey, it was a work-related purchase.  I really DO love you!”
