For a minute I thought they were getting rid of the Amazon Dash (https://fresh.amazon.com/dash/) and replacing it with the button. Looks like both products still exist.

This looks a little too elaborate for an April 1st joke, but they can't possibly serious?

I mean, who will scatter these "buttons" all over their house, which will inevitably need new batteries at ever shorter and diverging intervals...

Interesting idea. Seems like having one button per item would be overkill.

Maybe have one generic button that opens an app on your phone to choose an item from your 'frequently purchased' items.

I have to say - this actually looks like a great idea for products like detergents, etc. I can see how this can work on a laundry machine. Apart from that... Where would I put the button for Bounty? Or Gillette?

It has a full Terms of Service, but I still refuse to believe this is real.

Wherever you store the product would be my guess. In my case, the paper towel/toilet paper one could go in the closet where I store these things.

The razor one could go on the side of my medicine cabinet.

If I have one for toilet paper next to my toilet.. how fast can they get here?

Or condoms next to my bed? Awkward!

The Gillette button seems the most useful to me, I'd have it in my bathroom drawer for when I take the last blade out of the pack.

I'd stick the Bounty button to the wall above the paper towel holder in the kitchen.
