Amazon Dash buttons have been around for a year now, and I guess people like them. For those who haven’t heard, the idea is that you affix these Dash buttons to convenient locations throughout your home and then press them whenever you run out of the product in question. (Watch the video below for a visual explanation).

For the past year, only a small number of products were available to order via the Dash buttons (which cost $4.99). These were things that pretty much everybody legitimately needs – items that cause a real headache when you run out of them. Think razors, toilet paper and laundry detergent. I’ve often found myself delaying shaving because I was too lazy to run out to CVS and get a new pack of blades. The Gillette button solves that problem, and my grooming routine can continue apace.

That made sense. But now Amazon has completely lost it. They just added 50 new buttons, and some of them are, er, quite interesting. Like Goldfish, for example. Or Play-Doh. Or Gatorade. Or Campbell’s Chunky (Ted Cruz probably has this one). The winner, though, is undoubtedly Nerf (like the gun). When a customer asked, “And why in the world would I need this.” Helpful commenter S. Anstandig replied, “”Believe me, one does NOT want to run out of NERF Darts during the heat of battle. I’ve lost too many good men & women…” Fair enough, I suppose.

The good news is that if you actually do want one of these, Amazon is running a promotion such that your first one is basically free. After getting a Dash button, you will get a $4.99 credit on your first press. Since $4.99 is how much the button costs, the tiny little thing quickly pays for itself. And yes, this deal includes the actually useful Dash buttons.
