Amazon cancels Dash buttons

I bought an Amazon Basics microwave. I could set it up through the Amazon app to order more of a specific brand of microwave popcorn once I ran out. I was supposed to tell it how many bags I had in my cabinet, then when the popcorn button was used enough times to get my supply down to two bags, it would order another box of the brand I had chosen.

Unfortunately, I have kids, and I realized quickly that they could turn on the microwave using their voice. The thought that someone could accidentally start a fire by unintentionally running the microwave with nothing in it caused me to immediately pack the thing back up and ship it back to them.

Would it have been useful? Meh. I can always grab a box of microwave popcorn when grocery shopping.
