Amazon adds groceries to online megastore

amazongroc_w.jpgAmazon is already one of the first places people look online for everything from Tolstoy novels to Canon Elph digital cameras to Seven jeans, but could it soon also be your store for — mac 'n' cheese? That's right, Amazon has introduced a grocery section of their online mega-store, offering such necessities as 72 packets of Mandarina-Tangerine flavored Kool-Aid and 69 ounces of Beaver Brand Tarter Sauce (in a squeeze bottle!). Yep, it's all nonperishables and it's almost all bulk, like a Sam's Club without the refrigerated section. Amazon treats the foodstuffs just like normal merch, and they'll ship it to you the same way. Which means it's possible to get in the mail a box containing World of Warcraft, 100 Slim Jims, a gimmicky T-shirt, and The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists. Look out, world!
