There's now an Amazon Dash button for Trojan condoms - CNET

Buying more Doritos at the simple push of a button sounds like an awfully dangerous idea. Let's hope Amazon knows what it's doing.

Last year, the e-retail giant introduced Dash buttons, which are small, Inteet-coected buttons that people can click to purchase household goods like paper towels or detergent. That aouncement was just before April 1, 2015, and some reporters wondered if the concept was a joke. Guess who's laughing now!

To mark the first aiversary of these tiny buttons, Amazon on Thursday unleashed dozens more of them, tripling the current lineup to surpass 100 different buttons. The new buttons include Arm & Hammer cat litter, Energizer batteries, Peet's Coffee, Rid-X septic treatment, Trojan condoms, Zico coconut water and of course, Doritos.

"We heard loud and clear from customers that they wanted more brands, more categories, and more products in the program," Daniel Rausch, director of Amazon Dash, said in a statement.

He added that customers are now using Dash buttons more than once a minute, though avoided offering more specifics on the Dash business such as how many buttons have shipped out already.
