@guybrush01@jmoor783 That Kashi had me wondering if they’d made a horrible break room purchasing decision early last year, and the staff had finally just refused to eat any more of it.
@eeterrific@OnionSoup If I’m carrying the sherpa up MT Everest, who’s gonna be carrying me? I have to carry the sherpa and all the gear he’s laden with? This doesn’t sound right at all.
@dj_m I have no idea how that picture got attached to those particular words… but it would have been so much more awesome if it had been for a purchase of protein powder a few days ago. Oh well, ya can’t win 'em all.
I’m tempted but some no name brand worries me. I got suckered in with “Sherpa hoodies” over at Woot that were “cheap” and the sizing was absolutely terrible. They were like 2 sizes too small from the stated size compared to literally anything else I had ever bought. Whereas the Champion hoodies here a while back fit as I expected.
On the plus side, I can say these are really nice and warm and very comfortable.
On the downside I can say that because I got 2 for $30 from another daily deal site that also started in Texas…
@PooltoyWolf Who cares? You can see the available options, so there’s nothing too outrageous. It’s not like you’ll wind up with chartreuse or hot pink or something. You’ll get some neutrals or earth tones which are inoffensive. I don’t know anyone who will call light gray or whatever a dealbreaker. If I like the product, I’ll buy things like this (though not this specifically since they’re too small) if it’s discounted.
Sure I’ll try buying some hoodies again, why the hell not…Hopefully these don’t get “lost in transit” like the ones I ordered a month ago via sidedeal…
Howcum the Green, Charcoal, and Grey colors have erect pocket zipper tabs, whilest the Black and the Blue colors have flaccid pocket zipper tabs Humm Humm Humm???
There are no Mehrathons right now. We’ve been told that there will be one “eventually”. There is reason to suspect that the address 1701 Preston Rd, Plano, TX, has something to do with this. .
@phendrick@sligett Here in North Texas winter part…what are we at 3? 4? arrives this afternoon. We don’t expect it to last too long (high was over 80 yesterday. It will be in the 60’s next week.), but the cold weather and possibly ice is on it’s way…again.
@phendrick
One in the laundry and one in use?
One forgotten in the back seat of the car and one buried under the avalanche of stuff that the cat knocked over?
One for ketchup stains and one for gravy drips?
One to wear around the house and collect all the cat hair, and the other to wear elsewhere so that it’s not obvious that a cat is keeping you as a pet?
A light grey one to complain that is shows all the dirt, and a green one to complain that it doesn’t match anything else in the wardrobe?
Your roomie keeps “borrowing” your jackets, and you need two that are different colors so that you can remember which one you filled full of itching powder before you hung it by the door?
Can’t find any online reviews of these hoodies (including via the Walmart link provided here). I’m a noobie here, so I was wondering if they were returnable, if not satisfactory?
@Wolfidy Normally, sleeves don’t have the fuzzy stuff so it’s easier to put your arms in & out. I bought a deal like this last year (not sure of the brand), and those babies are nice and warm, including the sleeves. There’s some kind of warm lining inside the sleeves’ layers and a satiny kind of lining next to the skin.
@lisagd Thanks, I know how they usually are but my husband is very particular about he wants the sleeves lined the same as the rest of the thing so I’m always on the lookout.
@lehigh Let me point out that those are the probabilities for liking the colors, not the jackets as whole items (fit, style, durability, ease of care, etc.).
Sheesh meh, what’s happening. Not even fun crappy. Granola, toxic hemp and boring sweaters. Canceled my sub. Wake me up when you start having fun stuff like random projectors and Bluetooth speakers and candy corn. Knives ? You can Keep your Austin cali-Tex hippy crap.
Last time I bought a sherpa lined hoody the cold would cut right though the sleeves.
I would like to think it’s a standard design to have all the sherpa around the torso keeping you toasty warm but leaving your arms out there to freeze.
Did anybody besides me think that the women’s and the men’s were different? I wanted one of each (1 men’s and 1 women’s) but because you had to order then in 2’s I ordered 2 of each. Only to find out upon delivery they are ALL THE SAME! Why didn’t they just say unisex? Why did I have to choose men’s or women’s if it didn’t make a difference? Not a happy camper. I know Meh sometimes uses a play on words or other tricky language and descriptions, but they are usually straight up honest about it, and VERY CLEAR in the end. This was NOT the case this time. Very misleading!
I got mine today. I got the ladies 3XL since I like jackets a little looser fitting. I got charcoal and black. Charcoal shows up the cat hair a little less than the black so I am keeping it and may donate the other one. The brand is Blu Rock New York. I guess adding the city and misspelling blue makes it sound fancy
Update: customer service has recognized that I did not get what I ordered, and has refunded me for the one set that was wrong. THIS is the Meh that I am used to! Thank you for living up to the expectations that I am accustomed to expect!

Insert me complaining and everyone telling me I’m an asshole here.
@guybrush01
@guybrush01 you have a Sherpa lined fleecehole
@guybrush01 hey they are actually selling a product today instead of food that is ready to expire or weird nutritional supplements
@guybrush01 @jmoor783 That Kashi had me wondering if they’d made a horrible break room purchasing decision early last year, and the staff had finally just refused to eat any more of it.
Meh
@arbdef That’s what (he?) said?
a two-fer on 2/22/22. it’s too much.
@carl669
FTFY
@carl669 @yakkoTDI
No! It’s too too!
@carl669 @yakkoTDI
Potty mouth from a small mind trying to express itself “forcefully”!
@carl669 @Kyeh @yakkoTDI
No! It’s a tutu jacket!
@ACustomer @yakkoTDI
“…fucking forcefully”
FTFY
@ACustomer @carl669 @yakkoTDI
Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate motherfucker.
@ACustomer @carl669 @thechilipepper0 @yakkoTDI Fuckin’ A FUCK!
@carl669 Oh, and it’s TUESday!
@ACustomer
it helps if you know the @carl669 backstory…
@ACustomer @chienfou one time this guy said “fuck” and they made him scapegoat of the month and many moons later sent him a trophy. the end
@ironcheftoni
Are these lined with real Sherpas?
@OnionSoup Why would you want it lined with bicycles?
@OnionSoup You’ll need them if you’re wearing these up Mount Everest…
@OnionSoup Of course they are. If they aren’t lined with real Sherpas, they have to be legally called sparkling hoodies.
@guybrush01 @OnionSoup
But are they from the Sherpa region of HooDongGuang?
@eeterrific @OnionSoup If I’m carrying the sherpa up MT Everest, who’s gonna be carrying me? I have to carry the sherpa and all the gear he’s laden with? This doesn’t sound right at all.
@OnionSoup @w_a_w You’d be surprised at all the things that Sherpas can do for you…
I tried buying todays deal and got fleeced
Dammit, these have long enough sleeves, but I have too many jackets already.
Oh, the hell with it. I can toss a couple of the others in the Donate pile.

@pilot Well you could try them in person as they sell them at walmart.
On the plus side, I can say these are really nice and warm and very comfortable.
On the downside I can say that because I got 2 for $30 from another daily deal site that also started in Texas…
@seraphmonkey Same. I gave one as a Christmas gift to someone who’s always cold and she loves it. Fantastically warm and cozy.
If only my bank account hadn’t been frozen.
@tweezak And this would warm it up nicely.
Perhaps I underestimate the number of people who are willing to let someone else choose what color their clothing is in order to save some money.
@PooltoyWolf Who cares? You can see the available options, so there’s nothing too outrageous. It’s not like you’ll wind up with chartreuse or hot pink or something. You’ll get some neutrals or earth tones which are inoffensive. I don’t know anyone who will call light gray or whatever a dealbreaker.

@boygenius1991 @PooltoyWolf
Where are the hoods? Blood and crip need the hood.
Yeah, I found it very strange that none of the pictures showed any hoods at all.
Sure I’ll try buying some hoodies again, why the hell not…Hopefully these don’t get “lost in transit” like the ones I ordered a month ago via sidedeal…
Howcum the Green, Charcoal, and Grey colors have erect pocket zipper tabs, whilest the Black and the Blue colors have flaccid pocket zipper tabs Humm Humm Humm???
@bgammill
Because they’re black and blue from having been way too frisky the night before the photo shoot?
What happened to bluetooth speakers, stroopwaffels and mehrathons?
@Sweetbabyjames
In order:
@Sweetbabyjames @werehatrack are you implying Party City has an issue with Mehrathons?
Why would we want a 2-pack, do they wear out that quickly?
@phendrick Cuz winter’s on the way?
(At some future time anyway.)

“Two heavyweight hoodies in our choice of colors”
I can gamble with money, but not with the color of my purchases.
Pass.
Can’t find any online reviews of these hoodies (including via the Walmart link provided here). I’m a noobie here, so I was wondering if they were returnable, if not satisfactory?
Does the lining go down the arms? Does anyone know?
@Wolfidy this is a key question that needs answers
@Wolfidy Normally, sleeves don’t have the fuzzy stuff so it’s easier to put your arms in & out. I bought a deal like this last year (not sure of the brand), and those babies are nice and warm, including the sleeves. There’s some kind of warm lining inside the sleeves’ layers and a satiny kind of lining next to the skin.
@Wolfidy no sherpa lining in the sleeves, the sleeves are lined with nylon lining
@lisagd Thanks, I know how they usually are but my husband is very particular about he wants the sleeves lined the same as the rest of the thing
so I’m always on the lookout.
@Wolfidy
That’s the design I prefer; it keeps the hoodie from skinning the sleeves of my shirt back up over my elbows when I pull the jacket on.
if in case I don’t like them, I can always donate to the homeless shelter. They are always wanting warm coats and jackets.

@mtgrams In an early iteration, she was known as Princess Toadstool.
I have 3 colors I’d want and 2 I don’t want… odds I get 2 don’t like are 10%, 2 I like are 30%, and one I like and one don’t like are 60%. Hmmmm
@lehigh You could give one to someone who needs a warm coat. It’s still a decent price if you only keep one.
@lehigh Odds of getting colors you don’t want are actually higher… because they almost certainly have more of the less popular colors.
@lehigh Let me point out that those are the probabilities for liking the colors, not the jackets as whole items (fit, style, durability, ease of care, etc.).
@lehigh @lisagd nice idea but in most regions this is an underlayer not an overlayer. Not sure the sleeves are lined. It may be just the best section.
@lehigh @lisagd … I meant the vest section. (autocorrect is off on my Gboard, but this site and many others override my settings).
Made in China?
@Felyne odds to that one are 99-100% yes
Sheesh meh, what’s happening. Not even fun crappy. Granola, toxic hemp and boring sweaters. Canceled my sub. Wake me up when you start having fun stuff like random projectors and Bluetooth speakers and candy corn. Knives ? You can Keep your Austin cali-Tex hippy crap.

@Berndude I don’t think anything is returnable here. Safer not to buy it.
@dlcarson
“Buyer’s Remorse” returns are explicitly not allowed, so yeah, don’t order unless you’re sure that you want it.
always good to have extra fleece hoodies for the mountains!
/giphy goodhearted-determined-sphinx
@midstarrynight I don’t think these are big enough to fit a mountain.
/giphy slick-eerie-cereal
/giphy grotesque-eaten-shake
Dang it
I was super pumped until I found out it wasn’t fitted.
I bought these for my hubs and son and had to buy more because they loved them.
Everyone and especially Irk needs to stop calling things “fleece” that are cotton. Polartec or gtfo.
@bathsheba
These are nice. Sleeves are short compared to chest size.
Did anybody besides me think that the women’s and the men’s were different? I wanted one of each (1 men’s and 1 women’s) but because you had to order then in 2’s I ordered 2 of each.

@jmrobinett That’s weird!
@jmrobinett that is strange. I only got the ladies so I have no way to compare but on the tags it doesn’t specify gender except for the packing slip.
I got mine today. I got the ladies 3XL since I like jackets a little looser fitting. I got charcoal and black. Charcoal shows up the cat hair a little less than the black so I am keeping it and may donate the other one. The brand is Blu Rock New York. I guess adding the city and misspelling blue makes it sound fancy
@ironcheftoni ah donating is a good idea
@ironcheftoni thanks, I’ll try that
Just got them in, they’re nice but the fleece gets on whatever you’re wearing. It’s kinda a mess actually. My sweater is covered. Just a heads up
@christiandb1 you might be able to get rid of that by tossing the jackets in the dryer for a few minutes. The lint trap will catch a lot of it.
@ironcheftoni thanks I’ll try that
Much more soft and comfy than I expected. A good deal all around.
Update: customer service has recognized that I did not get what I ordered, and has refunded me for the one set that was wrong. THIS is the Meh that I am used to! Thank you for living up to the expectations that I am accustomed to expect!
