23 Viral Amazon Products Reviewers Rated Highly
Fun fact: Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here are a few of the current ones so beloved by reviewers that they are *definitely* worth the hype:
A sling backpack that checks all the boxes for style, functionality, and convenience. It's surprisingly spacious and has all the pockets you could dream of, and two of them are big enough for full-size water bottles. It's perfect for bringing along while traveling, hiking, and visiting theme parks. (BTW, reviewers say this fits perfectly inside lockers.)
A nifty gadget called the Bug Bite Thing because the mosquitoes are out and making their presence very known. This suction tool is designed to extract the insect saliva or venom left under the skin when you're bitten or stung and provide relief from itching.
An adorable pool floaty designed for your little future Olympic gold medalist so that they can learn proper swimming posture. It has four adjustable layers you can add or remove as needed to customize the float assistance and get the perfect buoyancy for your kiddo's swimming level.
A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses because you've been guilty of misplacing, sitting on, or stretching out your other shades by wearing them like a headband a few too many times. And let's be real — doing all that to a $200 pair of Ray-Bans just isn't it.
A heavy-duty Shark vacuum with a detachable canister so you can move freely from room to room, reaching tricky areas like stairs, blinds, and even those ceiling cobwebs! It boasts *impressive* suction that can easily transition from carpet and hardwood to tile and linoleum, with a built-in HEPA filter to lock in dust and allergens. Its two attachments — a wide upholstery tool and a narrow crevice one — can efficiently suck up debris before you fall victim to goldfish crumbs between your toes (a sensory nightmare).
A cruelty-free Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener making waves for its ability to hide and brighten dark circles. Your old concealers might start to feel a bit jealous of this one's color-adapting formula, lightweight feel, and seamless blending.
A pair of scrunch workout shorts the gym girlies are saying is a copy of the often sold-out Dfyne leggings — and at almost half the price. Reviewers describe the fabric as thick, stretchy, and squat-proof, with the right amount of compression. Take this as a warning, though: You'll have to pick your jaw up off the floor after seeing how good it makes your bum look.
A power scrubber brush, which attaches to your drill to do all the hard scrubbing for you, saving your elbow grease for something else — like popping open a bottle of wine after a long day's work of cleaning.
A mess-free, reusable Bluey aqua art pad, aka the ultimate lifesaver for parents (or fun aunts and uncles) to keep little ones entertained without the mess while on road trips, in waiting rooms, or even just a chill afternoon at home. Just fill the provided brush pen with water and let them go to town!
A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner because this little wizard is capable of handling all the messes life throws at you, from the spilled coffee stain on your car seat to the mark your potty-training pup left on your new rug. It's portable and has a large tank, which = more cleans in between refills. It's like watching a spell unfold, turning that mess into a memory.
A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer (with nearly 400,000 5-star ratings!!!) allowing you to dry and style your hair in one fell swoop, which means you can hit snooze a few more times in the morning and still come out looking like you just stepped out of the salon.
A fast-paced game of Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza that'll have everyone laughing all day long, no matter what age. It's pretty straightforward to learn, and you're able to pack it up and play it anywhere. It's perfect for family fun *or* a new addition to drunk game night — but don't be fooled by the cute design; reviewers call it "mind-bending" for a reason!
A bottle of multi-use Bio-Oil ready to tackle whatever you throw at it...like when you're channeling your inner Gordon Ramsay and have a mishap that leaves a souvenir scar, or your skin decides to go full desert mode, leaving you wondering when you moved to the Sahara. It's loaded with the good stuff (vitamin E, chamomile, a hint of lavender oil) to improve the appearance of scars and marks and hydrate your skin.
The fan-fave Nyx makeup setting spray that every makeup enthusiast should have in their arsenal. A few spritzes of this miracle elixir will lock your makeup in place, preventing it from smudging, melting, or fading away. It's perfect for those days when your foundation seems to have a mind of its own.
A clear stadium bag perfectly sized to fit all your essentials: your phone, ID, credit cards, a small bottle of sunblock, and even a mini fan to keep you cool when you're dancing your heart out at all those upcoming music festivals.
Kitsch's overnight heatless curls set capable of creating dreamy curls while you catch some z's. Imagine going to bed with your hair wrapped up in a super soft rod, only to wake up with curls that are nothing short of fabulous. And here's the kicker: It's all done without an ounce of heat.
Levi's Cinch Baggy Jeans to solve the age-old problem with denim shopping: that ANNOYING waist gap. These have a built-in cinch band, letting you bring in the waist for a customized fit that feels tailored just for you. And they offer just the right amount of stretch, moving with you so you can enjoy both style and comfort without feeling restricted.
E.l.f.'s Halo Glow Liquid Filter that not only serves as a radiant, blurring primer but also mixes seamlessly with your moisturizer or foundation for that "I woke up like this" glow. And for those days you're feeling extra, a little dab on top of your makeup makes for the most natural-looking highlight.
A bottle of Paula's Choice salicylic acid liquid exfoliant useful for clearing out pores and evening your skin's texture and tone. It's gentle enough to use daily, unlike those other gritty face scrubs that feel like you're sandblasting your skin.
Kinetic Sand, a delightful sensory toy that brings the beach right to your fingertips, minus the sunburn and sand in weird places. It flows through your fingers like regular sand, but here's the twist: It sticks together and holds its shape like some kind of enchanted clay. You won't have to worry about a messy cleanup, and it never dries out!
Color Wow's "Raise The Root" thickening and lifting spray so you can get (and keep) instant volume and body-ody-ody during these humid summer days. It works by acting like a spring at the roots of each strand, giving your mane that extra oomph without weighing it down.
A handy tri-fold mirror that hangs right on your bathroom door, giving you a 360-degree view of your gorgeous self while you snip those split ends, touch up your roots, or braid your hair.
A jar of 40% urea cream if the skin on your feet is A) thick, B) rough, C) cracked, or all of the above. This cream helps slough away corns, calluses, and dry patches while bringing your ~sole~ back to life with some much-needed rehydration.

It's a Ribbon Salad Summer
Last year was all about the dense bean salad. This year — I'm calling it — is the summer of the ribbon salad. Although peeling a carrot or zucchini into long strands isn't anything particularly new (hello, zoodles), Cassie Yeung, a TikTok creator and the author of the forthcoming cookbook Bad B*tch in the Kitch , is partially responsible for making this technique go viral with the ribbon carrot salad she first posted on TikTok this past April. Yeung's salad is simple enough. It pairs long and flexible strands of carrots with grated garlic, green onions, sesame seeds, and a dressing composed of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chile crisp. It's refreshing and light and has a slight pickle flavor, making it a perfect summer salad. 'I just didn't think that this was going to be something that blew up,' Yeung says. She was initially inspired by carrots from the farmers market, which she often peels into ribbons and adds to homemade poke bowls. The salad recipe is in her upcoming cookbook, so she's been testing and perfecting it for well over a year. 'I never really thought to film it and post it because, at the end of the day, it's [just] a carrot,' Yeung says. In fact, she debated even including the recipe in the cookbook because she felt it was too simple. 'But it makes [the virality] so much more exciting because it's such a simple ingredient,' she says. Yeung's initial carrot salad video has amassed 19 million views and over two million likes. She's also introduced riffs on the salad — one with red onions and dill, another with daikon that replicates banh mi pickles — and those videos have amassed over two million views. A slew of other creators have followed suit, crafting their own ribbon salads and tagging Yeung as their inspiration. Yeung believes her salad's virality is due in part to the accessibility of carrots, and in part to the presentation. 'It's just really playful,' Yeung says. 'It's almost like you're eating noodles. The way something is cut and prepared completely changes the experience for me.' The same is true in Lao cuisine, where Luang Prabang-style papaya salad cut into long ribbons completely differs from its Thai counterparts, which are typically shredded. The texture makes for a completely different dining experience. 'Luang Prabang was the royal capital of Laos up until 1975, so the cuisine is about taking simple things and making it elegant,' explains chef Ann Ahmed, the owner and operator of Gai Noi, a Laotian restaurant in Minneapolis. 'When I conceptualized Gai Noi, I knew the heart of it was Luang Prabang and the menu had to reflect that.' The Luang Prabang-style papaya salad on the Gai Noi menu begins with long strands of green papaya that is dressed in a mixture of lime juice, pounded chiles, fermented fish sauce, and pops of tomato. The flavor is spicy and savory and pungent, but the experience of eating it differs from a standard thum muk hoong because of the noodle-like strands of papaya. 'The style of ribbon holds more flavor because it has more surface space,' Ahmed says. 'The sauce sits in the curves. It's pretty genius.' Although papaya and carrots are great introductions to a ribbon salad, pretty much any long vegetable can be adapted for it, like zucchini and daikon. 'It's easy to do and it's all in the wrist,' Ahmed says. 'The thickness is what matters. Make sure you get a really good peeler.' Aside from swapping out the vegetable base, you can also completely customize the salad dressing to form new ribbon salads. 'The carrots become a vessel for any sauce you like,' Yeung says, noting she's experimented with a Mediterranean-style carrot salad and wants to attempt a kimchi version next. 'I think that a lot of cultures can intertwine their own flavors. That's the best part of it because at the end of the day, it's so simple — so you can really get creative with it.'

What we know so far about Jeff Bezos' $50 million star-studded luxury Venice wedding
The rich and famous have descended on Venice, Italy this weekend to celebrate the wedding of billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former broadcast journalist Lauren Sanchez in a show of all things money. The star-stunned event boasts a guestlist of some 200 celebrities and business elite, including President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher and a spattering of the Kardashians — to name a but few. And while the exact details of the three-day affair have been kept confidential amid city-wide protests, it is expected to rack up a bill of around $50 million. The couple will reportedly exchange their vows Friday at a black-tie ceremony on the private island of San Giorgio, away from public access, according to the Guardian. The main wedding reception, meanwhile, is set to be held Saturday in the Arsenale, a historic complex surrounded by fortified walls on the eastern side of the city. The venue was changed at the last minute from a 16th-century building in the center of the city due to security concerns. It follows a pre-wedding reception Thursday, which was held in the cloisters of Madonna dell'Orto, a medieval church in the central area of Cannaregio. Other side events are reportedly set to include a foam party and a Great Gatsby-themed soiree. The president of the Veneto regional government which comprises Venice, Luca Zaia, told reporters Tuesday that the wedding and its various accompaniments were set to cost 40 million to 48 million euros ($47-$56 million). Bezos, one of the world's richest people with an estimated net worth of $230 billion, according to Forbes, is also reportedly set to make a number of charity donations, including 2 million euros for Corila, an academic consortium that studies Venice's lagoon ecosystem. The expense doesn't stop there, however: many guests arrived early — via private jet, super yacht and helicopter — to enjoy the best designer shopping and high-end hotels the city of water has to offer. Five of Venice's most luxurious hotels, including the Cipriani and the Aman, have been booked out to host the guests, according to Reuters. The lavish display of money and excess has provoked backlash from local residents and environmental demonstrators who protest the use of the Unesco world heritage site as a playground for the super-rich. Venice has already been under pressure from over tourism, with the famed Italian city last year becoming the first in the world to introduce a tourist entry fee in a bid to alleviate the pressure of mass tourism and make it more livable for residents. Italy has, nevertheless, been experiencing a surge in wealthy arrivals — both to visit and live — as its more hospitable flat-tax regime and booming luxury real estate sector have proved a draw whereas other countries have sought to crack down on the uber-rich.

THE WITCHER Writer Reportedly Joins Amazon's GOD OF WAR Series — GeekTyrant
It's been a while since Amazon first announced its God of War series adaptation, but now there's some new movement. According to @RedanianIntel, a usually reliable source for fantasy TV scoops, former Witcher writer and producer Tania Lotia has reportedly joined the God of War writers' room. Lotia worked on Netflix's The Witcher since 2023 and was also part of the Mighty Nein animated series from Critical Role, so she's no stranger to adapting sprawling fantasy worlds with deep lore and fan expectations. Her experience could bring a valuable edge to God of War, especially with its myth-heavy storytelling and emotionally complex lead in Kratos. Amazon hasn't officially confirmed Lotia's involvement, and this hasn't yet been picked up by other major outlets. But, with the door closed The Witcher following dwindling viewership and the controversial recasting of Geralt, it makes sense that some of the creative team would be moving on to new projects, and God of War seems like a natural fit. If Lotia really has boarded the project, she joins a production that's been in flux for a while. Last year, original showrunner Rafe Judkins ( The Wheel of Time ) and several other creatives exited the series, reportedly triggering a full-scale creative reboot. The project was later handed off to Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica), who's now steering the adaptation. Moore confirmed earlier this year that things are 'going well,' though there's still little to go on beyond that. We don't have a release window, casting announcements, or even much detail about the show's direction, just that Amazon has reportedly greenlit two seasons already. Hopefully, this behind-the-scenes movement means Amazon will break the silence on the project soon and throw out some exciting information.
