You all know that I&#8217;m <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/category\/mentos\/\">obsessed with Mentos<\/a>, so when I discovered there was a Dash Button that would send me Mentos at the touch of a button, I had to order it. It showed up in the mail today and I ran through the setup, which requires installing the Amazon App on your phone and syncing it to the button. It gave me the choice of a few Mentos items (a case of 15, mint Mentos, and a few options for Mentos Gum), confirmed my shipping address and it was ready to go. So now whenever I have a craving for Mentos (OK, that&#8217;s always), I can hit a button and they will be on my front steps in 48 hours thanks to Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mentos-dash-button.jpg\"><img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mentos-dash-button-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mentos-dash-button-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mentos-dash-button-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mentos-dash-button-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mentos-dash-button-600x150.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mentos-dash-button.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 600px) 1000px, (min-width: 300px) 600px, (min-width: 300px) 300px, (min-width: 150px) 300px, (min-width: 125px) 150px, 125px\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4296\" alt=\"Mentos Dash Button\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\"><\/a>\n<p>Novel concept?
