10 years Meh
1So what Meh swag did you purchase, and what Meh swag did you hate, and what Meh swag were you tempted by?
I bought sunglasses.
Meant to buy a frisbee but forgot

Hey @ExtraMedium
It would be just dandy if my (and @Felton10’s) IRKs were all Meh swag and nothing else ‘cept Texas air.

Bought nothing in either half of the 'Thon. Wasn’t tempted by any of it. This may have been impacted by the hurricane on Monday and by the S.O.'s job having gone away a week and a half ago.

Ouch!
Beanie and wristbands. Would’ve also bought some shirts, but my size was sold out by the time I checked.
Other items were some mix of either not being very useful to me, or overpriced. For example, I play ping pong but $6 for 4 balls is vastly overpriced when I can get five times as many balls that are name-brand for the same prrice (and these don’t even have “meh” written on them). The 4-in-1 knife & bottle opener was a decent value, but I already have more than enough of such tools. The frisbee was tempting, but the lack of “meh” written on it was a turn-off. And $8 for a single roll of toilet paper is just criminal.
They could easily sell this junk at half the price, and still make up for it with sheer volume. Most of these things are cheap Chinese OEM products with a custom logo after all. When they sold similar things during the Fuko days, the prices were much more reasonable (e.g. $3 for a pair of plastic sunglasses).
