Now an old review of his has gone viral online. It has sparked a flood of reactions from people, including one from billionaire Elon Musk.

“Jeff Bezos has 9 product reviews on Amazon…including this gem on a jug of Tuscan milk,” wrote X user Trung Phan while sharing a screenshot of the review on the microblogging platform.
The Amazon founder reviewed a bottle of whole milk with vitamin D from Tuscan Dairy in August 2006. He gave the product a perfect five-star rating and explained that he was a “long-time fan.” He also added, “I love milk so much that I have been drinking it since the day I was born. However, I don’t think it was Tuscan.” A total of 102 people found the review helpful. Elon Musk responded to this review with a laughing emoji.

The post was shared on X two days ago. It has now gone viral with over 1.2 million views and counting. Some even took to the comments section to share their thoughts.
Check out how people reacted to this viral tweet:
“Only 3 stars for Tuscan milk?” one person posted.
Another added: “Could you buy milk on Amazon in 2006?”
“Bezos gave a much more positive review of Tuscan milk than the average reviewer!” shared a third.
A fourth commented: “Stuff I didn’t know I’d like to see.”
“This is real, it’s so funny,” wrote a fifth.
A sixth person chimed in: “Why only 3 stars? How can the milk be so bad?”
Jeff Bezos’ earliest Amazon review is of the 1997 Academy Award-winning film “Life is Beautiful.” He gave it five stars and called it a “masterpiece.” “This film is absolutely everything it is supposed to be. Hysterically funny and tear-jerking at the same time – it’s ultimately very uplifting. The cinematography is also fantastic – amazing use of color. The DVD is optionally dubbed in English, but I highly recommend using the subtitles instead so you can hear Benigni’s amazing acting and passion. It’s a shame the DVD doesn’t contain any deleted scenes. With Benigni I think it would be particularly fun to see outtakes. “Absolutely a great film!” wrote Jeff Bezos on Amazon on March 17, 2000.
