[Note: C4ISR is the military acronym for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance systems.
CASREP is the U.S. Navy acronym for Casualty Reporting, with C-4 being the worst: loss of primary mission capability.]

[Note: Anthrobots are real. They are created from trachea cells and are being developed as drug delivery systems. They're tiny, and when they self-assemble, form what are called "superbots".]

... orders.
The problem of course being that now consumers expected that loss leader price, so as a consequence no one offered that product anymore; it wouldn't sell. The entire category died off soon after.

Reminds me of a similar issue I ran into years ago.
