Take on the Amazon Dash

Yesterday Amazon revealed their latest invention to make people's lives great. The company who has brought us unlimited 2-day shipping, unlimited photo storage, streaming movies, the Fire Stick, the Kindle and delivery drones just came up with another concept which they expect will wow us
The Amazon Dash are these small adhesive buttons which you stick to your appliances or cabinets and link to your home WiFi. They are destined to allow you to order various items with just the touch of a button. For example, they suggest you stick one on your laundry machine and when you are nearly out of Tide you press the button and within two days a new box of Tide shows up at your door

They envision this for hundreds of things in your pantry, like dish soap, peanut butter, sponges, crackers, garbage bags and Ziplocs which sounds great in concept except for one small problem. Each item will need it's own dash button, so your pantry is going to look like it should be doing 240mph at Daytona

That plus anybody who has young kids will soon see this as nothing more than a nuisance when the UPS man delivers 15 bottles of Tide, thirty tubes of Crest and a life supply of rubbers
