But look at the page listing the third party sellers. There are 10 sellers listing prices ranging from $48.00 to $10,000.00. > **[Amazon.com: Tuscan Dairy Whole Vitamin D Milk, Gallon, 128 oz : Grocery &...](https://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Dairy-Whole-Vitamin-Gallon/dp/B00032G1S0)** > > Grocery Dairy Some sample descriptions from sellers: > [@](#): > > Seller Rating: Just Launched (Seller Profile) > In Stock.

Unfortunately, for unknown reason, I was puking like no tomorrows all over the kitchen. Luckily I was able to mob them up and poured back in the bottle. So here you go, only been used once, almost like “NEW”. Comes with all original accessories, the bottle, the cap, and the sticker on the bottle. International shipping. Obviously it’s all one big joke, but what’s going on here? Did someone list this as a joke and then other “sellers” piled on? Can anyone post as a third party seller? Doesn’t Amazon do some kind of screening of sellers? ---

It’s been going on for like ten years. I think that it started out as a serious but accidental listing and Amazon let the joke go on. ---

I can’t remember if this was before or after the three wolf moon shirt. But **hajario** has it right, at one point a couple of years back someone discovered that Amazon had accidentally??? listed Tuscan whole milk for some price in the hundreds of dollars (presumably a decimal point error), but the pranksters started in with fake reviews about the quality of this expensive milk and the meme was born. ---
