  Yes and no, you can buy some solutions but the daily extra effort associated with using them doesn't outweigh the occasional effort/annoyance of the mistake at this point. It's one of those things that would take a large amount of work for a company to get it to the point where the ease of use is the same as the current system, I'm sure we'll eventually see a usable system (as it seems that computer vision and object classification techniques being developed in other areas will be applicable here). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_refrigerator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_refrigerator

  Sure that wasn't a metaphor? With all the "little things" that we can get individually, we have a bunch of ingredients that aren't really satisfying on their own.

But we start with things that justify a purchase because they complete a worthwhile task on their own. That reduces the barrier to entry.
