April 4th, 2014I, for one, find grocery lists so odious that I need a wi-fi enabled barcode scanner with voice recognition to make sure my whims are catered to immediately.
Can we just cut to the chase and order coffin-sized pods full of lukewarm nutrient agar and neural interfaces?
Via: Amazon:
I was in – until I saw the green bags you have to carry by hand. What a disappointment. If a drone can’t fly up the stairs, into the house, and drop my verde-soylent on to the kitchen table – I mean – what’s the point?
Ah, screw it. It does look convenient…
Send me two magic wands, pre-set for cryptogon (sardonic irony level 10).
Yeah… Can you embed an affiliate code with it?

Yes! Verde-soylent! 100% Certified USDA Organic
We joke, but look at this imbecile over at PC Magazine who writes about the “agonizing experience” of planning his trip to the grocery store:

Making grocery lists isn’t that difficult. Sometimes. For some — this writer included — it can be a bit of an agonizing experience that involves rooting through the pantry, crudely typing in a general sense of what one needs into a smartphone app, dragging one’s phone out at the store and checking off items one-handed while trying to balance them in a basket, et cetera.
Oh my god. The horror of it all, complete with having to root through the pantry!
I was trying to be funny with ‘magic wand’ only to click through and see the phrase used in the article. And, there you go, it’s not really an article but more of an infomercial. The format is identical.
“crudely typing in a general sense of what one needs into a smartphone app”
if it were a video it would show him dropping the phone into the dishwater – and/or, the pencil lead breaking as he wrote…
How the hell will they pull this off with entropy running the opposite direction? Grocery warehouse-on-wheels? Will they still send you a wand if your mortgage is under water? Maybe that’s a plus. Boggles the mind.
