Amazon’s insane Dash Buttons on sale for all Prime members

Amazon Dash buttons are either the peak of convenience or a step toward a commercial-rampant apocalypse, but whatever camp you happen to be in, you can now buy those amazingly terrible and awfully unbelievable brand-specific buttons for $5 as long you’re a Prime member. “Unless you elect otherwise, Dash Button responds only to your first press until your order is delivered”. Amazon offers branded products – now Bounty for your hands and Cottonelle for your bum – that can be assigned to different types and quantities of product. The point is to streamline the busy lives of parents, professionals, students, teenagers, mail men, etc. Rather than go online, search for a product you frequently buy, add it to your cart, and then click purchase, you can just use Amazon Dash.

With Amazon’s shopping app, users choose a specific product to associate with the button, and how much of it to get with each press of the button.

Amazon says that when a product is ordered an alert will be sent to your phone, giving you a chance to cancel.

The adhesive one-touch buttons instantly order predetermined refills of detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, and other household items.
