@Stallion- How hard do you have to blow, because I bought’um just to check myself at home. Life is dull for a Caregiver, and disabled Vet. Also, I Don’t want to get tipsy & curse my Mom out!!
@Dizavid That said, the landfill-fodder fidget spinners were a big hit tonight (even if I did have to go to the post office to pick them up because they shipped a day later than promised).
@mike808-to make it easy for the Law, they won’t have to call the Breatherlizer Van, or ask you to say the alphabet while standing on 1 leg, with your eyes shut, or standing on your head with your damned dick hanging out!! Yea!!
@2many2no I suspect government intervention played a role… Way back when, the legal threshold for intoxication was 0.1%. Gradually over the past 25-35 years or so, that limit was reduced to 0.08%.
IOW, these probably won’t do any of you folks wanting to play “Who can get the most smashed?” any good… Four or five drinks in, you’ll all max out on the scale… Some will be wiped out by then, while others will be barely getting started…
But yes, as @mike808 suggested, you probably don’t want to keep your used one as a souvenir, even on the drive home in the morning…
I’m not sure I like the meh writer, skemmis, bragging about his travels. While he’s off jetsetting around the globe, we’re here complaining about crappy 50 cent fidget spinners. Makes it hard to think of him as “one of us”.
Ok, 1. These things almost got me arrested or worse. I was sitting at home and drinking with my beautiful wife. We remembered these from the last purchase and used them. I felt wasted, and thought I was crazy when I passed as sober.
Almost thought about pondering about debating regarding the possibility of remotely justifying going down the street for a double double.
Then decided to go to bed.
Found out the next morning that my drunk ass didn’t push them in far enough to pop the foil ON BOTH SIDES and give an accurate reading.
They make a funny whistle noise.
Aside from that, they are fun for playing my favorite game: “who can get to. 08 the fastest”
Utterly useless for me. There was a time where I would be blowing hot just about 24/7 though and these might have come in handy around then just for knowing my BAC
I believe the .99cent was added to prices when Maybe JC Penney noted that it was too easy for clerks to pocket the 5.00 when they didn’t have to open the register to make change. They noted their net profits went up after this was implemented, and most Merchants jumped on board. Not sure if it was JCP, but it was an early merchandizer.

Is it just me or do these look like hypdodermics at first glance?
@norman8 just you druggies…or diabetics…
rather buy a 6 pack and stogie…
This shit again?
I guess it’s day 3 of giving the warehouse staff a break …
/meh
I got scared thinking we would see candy corn again.
Well done.
:clicks Meh:
@JT954 No, that will be tomorrow’s Walu-for-Wednesday deal.
(Walu is the word for “eight” in many Austronesian languages. Waiting with great anticipation for that eight-pound box of candy corn. )
Wait, just realized today is Wednesday. So much for that idea…
So, how about Thirty-eight-for-Thursday?
Really getting bored with these…
I’m telling you, @dave, wine would be a really welcome change of pace. $849.86 spent over at that other site just in October alone!
@jbartus Suddenly I don’t feel so guilty about my catshirt buying habits now. Of course, if @snapster offered any …
(@dave gets a pass on account that someone he knows works for a place that does sell catshirts.)
@jbartus Step one is admitting you have a problem. Good luck on the next eleven.
@jbartus What other site do you speak of?
@narfcake to be fair a decent bottle of wine costs more than a catshirt
@cinoclav yeah I may be going as bit nuts on wine. Then again considering the fires…
@jbartus Valid point. The QC issues have been turning me off there too – so I’ve been buying fewer recently.
@narfcake from Woot or in general?
@jbartus Both, since shirt.woot is my major source. Alas, after a string of no issues, my most recent package made up for it.
I’ve been eating Sonic corn dogs for Halloween.
Heh heh heh.
Analyze my breath.
@f00l It’s tomorrow we’re worried about!
@f00l aw, I missed the $0.50 Dawgs…
Stop selling this environment killing bullshit.
MEH IT! STRAIGHT TO HELL!
@Dizavid That said, the landfill-fodder fidget spinners were a big hit tonight (even if I did have to go to the post office to pick them up because they shipped a day later than promised).
It’s rumoured that the 99p store in the UK is putting the £ store out of business.
If Meh is into selling consumables other than wine, then Meh needs (real bad) to get with @Pavlov and go full on into a “growing industry”.
I see the Meh buyers are back to dumpster diving. The mobile breathalyzer app is more accurate, and fun.
@hchavers we prefer the term “Refuse Revitalization” thankyouverymuch.
So, remind me when I sober up why I wanted to carry around a ready-to-use evidence kit?
@mike808-to make it easy for the Law, they won’t have to call the Breatherlizer Van, or ask you to say the alphabet while standing on 1 leg, with your eyes shut, or standing on your head with your damned dick hanging out!! Yea!!
Very true about the $1 threshold. Unfortunately these are $1.40 each once the shipping is included, so nope.
If you guys want me to even consider getting these than you need to include at least a pint of vodka. It’s about QA checks you understand.
The goat is on the fence about this deal.
Could be cheap fun. Not as cool as the gadgety digital ones.
Looking at the scale on the side of the stick, these need to be a few more inches long to really be of any use.
@dickie541 Yeah, 0.08% doesn’t even begin to describe my goals.
@2many2no I was thinking the same thing.
@2many2no I suspect government intervention played a role… Way back when, the legal threshold for intoxication was 0.1%. Gradually over the past 25-35 years or so, that limit was reduced to 0.08%.

But yes, as @mike808 suggested, you probably don’t want to keep your used one as a souvenir, even on the drive home in the morning…
@2many2no- uh, oh, if O.0 8 is the top reading I need to cancel this order!
@dickie541 thats what she said…

Hey, @skemmehs, I’m jealous.
Who’s playing at Osaka-jō Hall this weekend?
@2many2no
And wtf are you doing in Japan and why didn’t we get to go?
@f00l Only in my dreams. Our only trip this year was to see the eclipse, although that was a memorable one.
@2many2no
Ooopsie.
Meant to direct that to @skemmehs.

For crying out loud! If today’s deal is a harbinger of things to come, then this month is gonna blow…pun intended.
@mzsooner this place is a pun factory. No need for clarification. Stick with the program
As a MN resident, it’s really funny North Dakota is leading in buying these. I don’t blame you, there’s nothing to do there, but it’s still funny.
Unnecessary—to quote Robert DiNiro in “Ronin”—“When there is a doubt–there is no doubt.”
These are way more fun than DIY phlebotomy kits. And less chance of a tragic outcome in the search for a champion.
Would these detect acetone from being sober but in in ketosis I wonder?
i did not receive a humorous imagined conversation at the end of my meh email today
/giphy you forgot the best part
Stocking stuffers for certain people.
Meh. Don’t drink and drive.
Actually, don’t drink. Because my stomach can’t stomach alcohol after gallbladder surgery.
I miss it sometimes. On a nice, pleasant evening when the sun’s going down.
Utterly useless for me. There was a time where I would be blowing hot just about 24/7 though and these might have come in handy around then just for knowing my BAC

Anyone else try to use the blanket mixup coupon code on this? I was told the code was invalid ><
@wendigee Well, no, I didn’t get a code, but remember, if your glass is half-empty, that means there’s more room for booze.
@therealjrn I bought 3 random fleece blankets. My glass is plenty large.
@wendigee You might try to make sure you copied the code exactly. No spaces on either side, etc.
@skemmehs have you found the Coke Coffee+ yet?
