Amazon: You’re Gonna Need a Truck

One little neat thing I noticed while shopping on Amazon this year was that their little cart graphic in the upper right corner of each page was dynamic. I put one item in the cart and boom, the sleigh (of course) had a big “1” on it. Nice touch.

But I wondered how this would handle really large quantities – like 200 items. So I put 200 DVDs in my cart (sorry for that, Amazon), and was presented with this:

Beep! Beep!

Love it.
