2-for-Tuesday: Meh Face "Pop" Phone Holders
- You attach it to your phone to get a better grip, apparently.
- Use it to prop up your phone so the whole family can gather 'round and watch funny cat videos.
- Weirdly, these things are very popular among 20somethings and 60somethings. So they just might be what saves the world.
- These types of things go for this much or more for one, so this is a decent deal even if you aren’t all in on the Meh merch thing
- Give them to your friends and be a Meh evangelist. (Or evan-meh-list? No. Never mind. Sorry.)
- Model Number: M3H4L1F3
No Thanks
The Meh button isn’t just a gimmick. I mean, it is a gimmick, sure. But it’s not JUST a gimmick. It’s a choice. Most places give you one choice - buy. If you don’t choose that, what do you get to do? Wander away. Or stick around quietly. Maybe post in a forum if you’re lucky. But not here. Here you get a button. Buy. Or Meh. It can be oddly satisfying to click that Meh button, to state your case loudly, “I’m not buying this!”
And yet in our everyday lives, we have no such option to express our vehement disinterest. Or we didn’t… until now! Introducing the IRL Meh button!
Ok. Real talk. It’s not a Meh button. it’s one of those pop-out phone holder things. You can attach it to the back of your phone and use it to get a better grip, prop it up to watch movies, etc. This video gives a pretty good overview of what these things are actually good for.
But really, what makes them fun is that you can pop them out and push them in. They’re fidget toys. Buttons.
Hence: the IRL Meh button, an inoffensive way to celebrate all the frustratingly not-good-enough things out there.
Still confused? Maybe this will help. Here are few examples of what I would use a Meh button on in my day-to-day life:
-
When my screen door sticks, but not enough that I need to fix it
-
That shirt you accidentally put through the dryer that’s now a half-size too small
-
Dry but not quite inedible scrambled eggs
-
When I go to the bar and ask the bartender if he has any IPAs on tap, and he says, “Yeah, Goose Island”
-
Strange rattles that don’t affect your car’s drive quality… yet
-
When it’s too hot for your jacket but just a little too cold for your sweater
-
Those big new boxy muted-color apartment buildings you see going up in every city
-
When the big happy hour special is “50 cents off select cocktails”
-
When the HOV lane is going just as fast as the other lanes
-
When the hotel bathroom’s free toiletries smell about as good as the ones at home
-
Free samples of granola at the grocery store
Get it now? Great, then you can let us know what you’ll use your real life Meh buttons on in the comments!
Though we should note, pushing your IRL Meh button won’t count towards your streak. You still have to come to our dumb site for that.
