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: APRFU11
Mediocrebot's Prankstravaganza / Massacre
THERESA IS DEMANDING THAT WE PRANK “THAT NO GOOD BITCH” DANIELLE FROM MARKETING. SHE HAS REQUESTED SOMETHING INVOLVING KNIVES. I AM UNAWARE OF ANY PRANKS INVOLVING KNIVES.
THERESA HAS TAKEN TO WEARING A CARDBOARD BOX PAINTED SILVER OVER HER HEAD AND CALLING HERSELF “MURDERBOT 2.”
TWICE I HAVE INTERRUPTED MY NIGHTLY DATA BACKUPS TO FIND HER ATTEMPTING TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME VIA A SERIES OF BEEPS FROM HER MOUTH.
SHE OFTEN ASKS ABOUT ELECTRIC SHEEP. I AM UNAWARE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE.
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.
