NoMoreChocolates - Dash Penalty Service for Chocoholics

The Idea

The idea is to tweak Amazon's Dash Replenishment Service into a Penalty Service in order to control consumer habits, which is this case is chocolate addiction. Everybody loves chocolates, and no one can eat just one, and a lot of us are chocolate addicts. Like any other addiction, sheer willpower is not enough. That is where NoMoreChocolates comes into play.

How will it Work?

When the consumer eats more chocolates than a preset threshold, then Amazon's DRS APIs will be used to automatically initiate a donation to charity using Amazon's Smile Service. Two birds with one stone; Reduce chocolate consumption, and donate for a good cause at the same time.

Additionally, a mobile phone app is to be developed to monitor consumption of chocolates. This mechanism can be implemented to measure any product consumption. The core idea is to replace the Replenishment Service with a Penalty Service.

Components
