Amazon has created a new line of products called: the Amazon Dash Button. Well not exactly a product, more a meta-product, a product you use to order other products. The Buttons sell for $4.99, however, you receive a 100% credit for the entire purchase price the first time you use the button.
- "Amazon Dash Button is a Wi-Fi connected device that reorders your favorite product with the press of a button. Each Dash Button is paired with a product of your choice, which is selected through the Amazon App on your Android or iOS smartphone during the set-up process."
How often does your family need to order a gross of pop-tarts?
And unless your fostering 101 Dalmatians, I mean they're not sending you a 12 oz box of Milk-Bones. But if you need 50 or 100 pounds of doggy treats, really, really fast; then you will surely need this next product.
Unless they have super-fast delivery service, I don't think the Trojans are going to get there in time for you to safely finish what you started. Plan Ahead! and Wrap dat Wrascal.
Just how often does a family run low on Play-Doh? Oh wait, I see, you can order the 10-pak, 24-pak, 36-pak or the Fun Tub. Well that explains it. Why does Play-Doh always remind me of Solent Green?
Look, I like corporate giant Amazon, I really do, despite all the negatives of worker maltreatment and putting all those local bookstores out of business. I like their innovation, but really a new tech device to order --- well you name it they have nearly a hundred Dash Buttons already. They even have one to sell you SmartWater, which has just got to be an oxymoron, if you need a special button to order it.

Well, Tim, if you'd ever procreated and had a kid nicknamed "Clogzilla", then the Charmin dashbutton might be a worthwhile addition to your bathroom wall. Short of that, these are a mostly worthless device.
This isn't only a first world problem: it's a whole world, all species problem as the oceans fill with this kind of useless plastic crap. Please write to Amazon with a big DISLIKE and a plea for more sustainable business practices.
