00:00You can get just about anything on Amazon, including, for a brief moment, their delivery driver's urine.
00:05In a new documentary from Britain's Channel 4, filmmaker Uba Butler claims to have taken urine from Amazon drivers' discarded
00:12bottles
00:12and gotten it listed on the site as an energy drink called Release.
00:16The product description called it the first fully reusable energy drink and said Release Energy was born from the desperation
00:23and determination
00:24of those Amazon delivery drivers who dared to have bodily movements over the course of their grueling shifts.
00:30Outlets such as Insider and Vice have reported that Amazon delivery drivers often relieve themselves into bottles due to their
00:35demanding schedules.
00:37Speaking to Wired, Butler called it surprisingly easy to get Release listed for sale,
00:41and while he didn't actually send any bottles to anyone except a few friends, he told Insider that he had
00:46interest from about 10 actual customers.
00:49Insider also quotes an Amazon spokesperson as calling the listing a crude stunt and saying,
00:54safety is a top priority for Amazon, and we require all products offered in our store to comply with applicable
00:59laws and regulations.
01:01If you're looking to get a bottle of Release for yourself, sorry to say it's no longer on the market.
