For the uninitiated, Prime Day describes Amazon’s annual event that markets its wares at significantly lower prices. The event is especially attractive to shoppers looking to purchase tech — think Black Friday but in July. International Business Times previously anticipated some of this year’s hottest sells, but the real action appeared to be happening in the discourse around the annual event.

The event proved to yield its fair share of memes.

Twitter users and companies took to Twitter to blast their deals and finds — with some oddities creeping into the fray.

But others used Twitter to bemoan the event’s offerings.

According to Market Watch, Amazon’s own smart home device, the Echo, was the site’s best-selling item at $89.99, or 50 percent off its usual price. Its Amazon cousin, the Echo Dot, also led in sales at a discounted price of $34.99. The Street reported that the Alexa-capable Fire 7 Tablet was also selling fast at $29.99, or $20 cheaper than its normal price tag.
