Few icons in digital design have sparked as much debate over the last decade as the hamburger. The hamburger menu — which earned its nickname because of its abstract, stacked, hamburger-like appearance — was originally embraced as a clever way to save space on small screens by hiding the main navigation behind a single button.

Amazon’s Prime Day is effectively becoming “Prime Week,” and consumers online will soon be plagued with enough “hot deals” to exhaust even the sturdiest Black Friday veteran.
