And yet, Amazon only sells condensed milk and powdered milk, not fresh milk. [1]

I really do like their 'Subscribe & Save' service though [2] (which is what the patent describes).

I don't know, this milk is pretty amazing.

Doesn't appear to be eligible for 'Subscribe & Save', but I love the meme anyways.

"We currently offer home delivery to a limited number of Seattle neighborhoods"

Nice for some folks living in Seattle, otherwise not very relevant.

This is true. I was initially confused about your claim that they don't sell fresh milk, but I now understand what you mean, and you are correct. Fresh milk is not available to the majority of Amazon customers.

Which is really too bad, cause Amazon Fresh is pretty awesome.

Well, don't many companies test their products and distribution chain locally before rolling them out widespread?
