You Can Now Hit a Button to Order Doritos, Red Bull, and Trojan Condoms
Until recently, Amazon Dash was useful for a fairly limited selection of purchases. Amazon Dash, for those who don't know, is an automated ordering system that Amazon users install in their homes. Your press a button and presto! an order for a specified good is placed automatically via Amazon. In marketing materials, the company's main example was a Tide Dash button, which could be slapped on your washing machine and tapped whenever the time arose to reorder laundry detergent.
Today, Amazon added 78 buttons to its lineup of brand-specific Dash buttons, giving consumers the option of getting even more products ordered with the tap of a finger. The buttons work on your WiFi network and trigger a standard order whenever you're running low on something. Among the new brands added to the Dash button selection are Burt's Bees, Charmin, Dasani, Doritos, Honest Tea, OxiClean, Red Bull, Slim Jim, and Trojan.
Although the buttons listed cost $4.99 each, people who buy them get an automatic $4.99 credit to their Amazon account for stuff each button orders. So they're essentially free if you want to participate in this system.
Here's the complete new list of what you can buy on the fly. It's pretty ideal, especially for a college dorm room (so long as a parent is footing the bill!).
