A funny Amazon purchase for sauna hats got weird when a blue scorpion venom-based drug arrived instead.

Journalist Meagan Day posted about her delivery misadventures this week when an order for jokey felt sauna hats with the word "oligarch" printed in Russian finally got delivered.

But instead of hats, she received a drug that includes blue scorpion venom in its ingredients. The package came from Ukraine.

The same hat and seller on Amazon, RussianBear, is still up on the site, but the item is "currently unavailable." Darn.

Over the weekend, Day updated that she was refunded for the hat, but is now very much an owner of scorpion venom.

To add another layer of ridiculousness to the situation, Day is a writer at left-wing Jacobin magazine, which features stories such as, "You Can’t Trust Capitalists."
