The most surprising thing in this sale probably isn't the low prices, or the free shipping via Prime. (It's an Amazon company, lest we forget.) The most surprising thing is how many musicians have signature fragrances available. So let's quiz it out. Which of these fragrances are real, and which are nonsense invented by me, the Staff Picks skeleton? GUESS!

Aoxun 10'x12' Outdoor Retractable PergolaAoxun 10'x12' Outdoor Retractable Pergola
Store: Walmart
Price: $260
Shipping: $29.99 shipping
Lowest By: $160

This retractable pergola at Walmart should not be mistaken for a retractable pigeon, as I read it upon first quick glance. A retractable pigeon would make little sense from a practical point of view, having questionable useful functionality. More importantly though, it would be morally dubious and highly unfair to the pigeon, who would surely have to live a highly compromised life to facilitate your retractable needs. The point being, be nice to pigeons! Or else. Another more useful point - this pergola is $160 off at Walmart and a solid deal for a pergola of this size. Do be aware of the $30 shipping fee.
