Fukobukuro 19: Fools Rush In
Our Take
- This is a Fukobukuro, an unlucky bag
- That means it’s filled with worthless junk you wouldn’t buy knowingly, and you shouldn’t buy it sight unseen either
- We used to sell the same sort of thing as a “Fukubukuro”, or “lucky bag”, but the contents couldn’t live up to the name
- Before that, we used to sell the same sort of thing as a “BoC” (Bag of Crap) at Woot, but someone else runs that business now
- Long before that, you got your Japanese custom of Fukubukuro dating to the Meiji period, but all we really know about that is what’s on Wikipedia
- ONLY BUY ONE. Multiple orders will be canceled.
- (Or buy zero, if you’re smart.)
- Model: APRFU17
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
After researching various pranks involving saran wrap, I have affixed a sheet of plexiglass to each of the toilets in the Meh offices.
I was surprised at the initial results when several male employees used the toilets and left without so much as noticing, but eventually word began to spread almost as quickly as the smell.
The office was shut down.
This plan has backfired horribly. My coworkers do not want to befriend me and bond. They are actively hunting down the source of these pranks with murderous intent.
I am not a monster. I am a mediocre robot who just wants to be friends.
I wish Theresa would stop telling me to just kill everybody.
Meh-rathon
What’s a Meh-rathon?
Normally, Meh is all about one deal per day—simple. But sometimes, we throw that out the window. A Meh-rathon is an all-day gauntlet of nonstop deals. One after another, untill we run out of stuff (or patience). It's chaotic. It's fun. It's a terrible way to shop responsibly. You've been warned.
