Data mining does it again

Based on Amazon’s “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” suggestions, we can determine that people who buy this digital scale are drug dealers who also buy:
  • "Spice" grinders
  • "Tobacco" pipe screens
  • Caffeine powder (to cut heroin)
  • Rolling papers
  • Gelatin capsules and capsule-filling machines
  • And a whole lot of plastic baggies
