A Slow-Motion Trainwreck Facing the Meal-Kit Industry

I tried Blue Apron just to see what the deal was. It was "OK" but not really a fit for me.

I do know people who like it though. There's a category of (especially) couples with disposable income who really want to cook at home a few nights a week but appreciate some structure to make it happen.

Hmmm... what other activities would "couples with disposable income" like to have "at home a few nights a week", but which could improved with "some structure"?

Now there's a good bit of harmless innuendo getting downvoted because HN doesn't get jokes :(

Thanks! I figure I'm ahead on the submission, I might as well burn some valuable internet points on entertaining those of discerning tastes such as yourself. Normally the only time I get downvoted that much is when I complain about WaPo's obvious-but-never-mentioned conflicts of interest.

:) I think they've started being explicit about the conflict of interest: https://www.washingtonian.com/2017/06/27/the-washington-post...

I don't see any mention of big (e.g. $60M/yr for 10 yrs) AWS customers...
