I've just placed a very mundane order with Amazon - some pens, some batteries and a cookery book. On checking out I was told that people who previously ordered the same things also bought a bottle of vodka, some long spoons and a toilet brush.
I never know what I'm supposed to do with this information. Are they suggesting that I should consider buying a bottle of vodka, some long spoons and a toilet brush too?
I'm now curious to know how the algorithm came up with this list. Does pens + batteries + cookery book always result in vodka + spoons + toilet brush? And if you order vodka, spoons and a toilet brush, does Amazon try to sell you pens, batteries and a cookbook?
