    I honestly can't tell if this is just a very poorly timed product launch, or I'm very gullible.

    Is it just me that thinks this could work out?

      Honestly, I think it's amazing.

      We have a teenager who's always coming or going, forgetting to let us know if we're running low on paper towels, laundry soap, etc. Having her be able to just push a button (and have subsequent clicks be ignored) would make our lives plenty easier.

      This is great for Amazon too, as I normally wouldn't buy things like soap, laundry soap, paper towels there, but I might now.

        Honestly, Amazon is great for house supplies like paper towels, laundry detergent, trash bags, etc.

      I think it could really work great, but what I don't understand is why they wouldn't let you customize whatever you wanted to "replenish" with the button (ie: maybe 7th Generation baby wipes instead of Huggies). Maybe because they demand a certain level of stock commitment from the brands? It would suck to tap the button to then find out they don't sell the product anymore or something.
