It doesn’t surprise me that Sports and Fitness is at the top of the list – it seems to be the growing interest among the general population.

I wonder why it took so many years for people to realize that if you take care of your body, you’ll live longer and feel better!

@Elijah
When I first read it, it did not sound as obvious..I would have assumed that fitness products related to sports would rather be bought at a next door pharmaceutic rather than online…

For Other things, online seems more plausible though..
