Amazon’s Dash button
This “new service”, exclusive to Prime members, offers customers a chance to re-order the products they use every day with just one click of a button.
When you’re running low on your favourite products, simply press your Dash Button and Amazon quickly delivers household favorites at the same prices offered on Amazon.com, so you can skip the last-minute trip to the store.

Tesco’s bouncy aisles
Tesco took to social media to announce a world first with its bouncy aisles trial. No more stretching for the top shelf - the Spring Stepper Shelf Solutions will be a “practical and fun solution” to shoppers who can’t quite reach the highest products in the store.
The bouncy trampoline-like floors will run parallel to the shelves, with a solid floor in the middle of the floor for people to wheel their trollies in comfort and safety.
Scratch and sniff menus at Pizza hut
In another April fool’s story we sort of wish were true, Pizza Hut announced the "introduction of scratch and sniff menus". Instead of traditional descriptions of their pizzas and pastas, the chain claims that customers can now choose their favourite items by following their noses..
