I am neither high enough nor stupid enough to spend $20 on this. Now were you to sell the button alone for $5, I might bite. But I suspect if I wait a week or so, I just may see this on Morningsave…
@opshannon I’m pretty confident that this is going to be the worst. $20 for two pairs of novelty socks and a button? I feel like I’m missing something here…
Can someone please explain the reasoning behind “fun” socks? Is the potential amusement for yourself or others? If it’s for others, does one go around asking people to look at their socked feet?
@blaineg@mehgrl I make visits to nursing homes. The residents like my funny T-shirts and if I wear weird socks, they are doubly happy. And that makes me happy.
@Targaryen ah, I would then be asking everyone else if they were stupid or stoned. I’m thinking of it more as a dance cap / badge of failure. Worth it.
If this had been 4 PAIRS of socks instead of 4 socks (2 pairs), then perhaps I would have made the jump. But $10 per pair is nuts! Funny button notwithstanding…
@troy Good is subjective. Cotton socks with polyester and spandex are cheap socks where I live. Smartwool, People Socks, or Filson. Trust me. Take cotton socks hiking and you will see. Im sure they are great for walking to Starbucks though.
Well, I figured I might as well get some value out of that five bucks a month that I’ve been coughing up for years, so I thought I’d check out the total for yesterday. As of 12:07 a.m. or so, Meh seems to have roped 104 orders of these thangs. Meh, you know you’re pressing your luck, don’t you?

WTF
@Stallion I think that this is the best answer to your insightful and penetrating question:
WTF - the answer.
You’re sending these out free to VMPs right?
@shahnm they are not even good for White Elephant gifts.
@shahnm i have never ever seen a free VMP gift…I think that is just myth
@shahnm @tinamarie1974 mmm I got some free meh socks maybe 3 years ago. Swear to god they go up to my knees
@shahnm @thechinglish are you REALLY short
@shahnm @tinamarie1974 5’10 but maybe i have short tibias i dunno
@shahnm @thechinglish omg in that case they would come up to my waist!!
ah, 4-20 joke
Not enough to buy this!
I expect the number of purchases to go up dramatically in about four hours and twenty minutes
Imagine the day when cannabis is legal nationwide. You could get Meh-brand weed!
@lljk Meh-brand weed with CBD…
@lljk Actually, Meh-brand weed might actually be some useless Frankenweed without CBD…
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude
@Zeusandhera sweeeeeeeeet
@nolrak @Zeusandhera duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude
I’m so confused,
@connorbush There’s a poll answer choice for that.
I… cant even.
$20 for a couple pairs of socks
@xEBRONx Don’t forget the super useful button.
I was excited to see crazy bundle Saturday again then remembered it was April 20th and a holiday I don’t understand. Oh well, still it’s cool stuff!
I am neither high enough nor stupid enough to spend $20 on this. Now were you to sell the button alone for $5, I might bite. But I suspect if I wait a week or so, I just may see this on Morningsave…
I need a brownie.
Am I stupid? No! That’s why I’m gonna
MEH IT TO HELL!!
Women’s size 6 to men’s size 15? Are we sure the socks aren’t magic instead of the button?
Appreciate the joke, but $20 for 2 pair socks? On meh? Is there an unmentioned baggy of “something” tucked away in the socks?
@t0nyc0tt4m These aren’t flying off the shelf probably because of the price.
The socks kill this deal
@Woody1 The price kills this deal…
Those are really expensive socks…
@jhdockett or is it a really expensive button and cheap socks?
Irk doesn’t skip leg day.
Nightmare fuel.
Two for $20? Nope Nope
But then again there is that magic button…
are these indica, sativa or a hybrid? asking for a friend.
I am now totally looking forward to June 9.
@haydesigner September 6 works too, if you want to mix things up a bit…
The last photo scared me. I don’t want to know if Irk is anatomically correct.
@sammydog01 That’s a pretty short shirt… Irk is either anatomically correct or anatomically challenged…
@sammydog01 I was gonna ask if Irk was wearing underwear. I think he may be going commando
gyarrrrhhhhhh
/giphy pensive-thematic-peacock
@blndfayth that is one beautiful giphy. Bravo!!
I may just hang out and watch this all day
But everything is 4

I guess this deal isn’t MorningSave appropriate since there is no thread over there.
@Ignorant
@Ignorant A Gabba Goods camera? Lame.
HAPPY HITLER’S BIRTHDAY, EVERYONE!
Oh, TODAY is also 4/20. Clever. I guess.
/giphy I see what you did there
Let’s play a game called “Name a worse offering in the history of Meh”.
@opshannon I’m not even going to try. This is the worst
@opshannon confirms my suspicion that Meh is the Taco Bell of online retailers, marketing mainly to stoners at 2am. Still, it’s a niche.
@opshannon I’m pretty confident that this is going to be the worst. $20 for two pairs of novelty socks and a button? I feel like I’m missing something here…
Here’s my contribution:
Happy 420 everyone!
4 is 5? That ending still makes me tear up… Thanks for ruining my prospects of sweet dreams Meh
Can someone please explain the reasoning behind “fun” socks? Is the potential amusement for yourself or others? If it’s for others, does one go around asking people to look at their socked feet?
@mehgrl Personally, amusement for myself. I wear silly t-shirts, why wouldn’t I wear silly socks?
Also to amuse and interest the children I teach.
@blaineg @mehgrl I make visits to nursing homes. The residents like my funny T-shirts and if I wear weird socks, they are doubly happy. And that makes me happy.
@Barney @blaineg That is a lovely reason and makes me happy also.
@blaineg I also consider myself a connoisseur of silly shirts and perhaps I need to extend the silliness to my socks.
Can’t we ask meh the same question? Posting at 4:30 am CST missed by 10 min. All the ones in PST can reply at 4:20 their time.
Can we talk about the gams on Irk? Cause whoa.
@revloki Right?! Creepy. Please Meh, never again.
I know they are trying to be clever because of what day it is, but $20 for this stupid bundle!? Are they stoned?!
@EvilTuna31x According to the button, Meh might also be stupid.
Laughed at this last night but now it is just absurd.
MEH!!! I am Not Stoned, and as much as I would buy this cheaper, not springing for this at the price… Meh, you get enough of my money…
Not to be a complete jerk but if one really wants the button (not I), 5 bucks gets you one, free shipping. The socks… no.
https://www.gumballpoodle.com/products/are-you-stoned-stupid
I am not stoned but that is free shipping for orders over $30. So get 6 buttons!
Fun gift…maybe at one third of the price.
If it had a $10 casemates voucher you guys might have sold a few more but this is yikes territory
Someone misspelled “stoned”, or they were when sourcing this deal.
Ughhhhh kerning
Halfway into the deal-day and only 68 of a $20 item sold?
Did that even pay for the server cloud to offer the deal?
@RedOak Guess I might be wearing this button around the office for a while
@RedOak @troy Damn Troy what are you trying to say man? lol.
@Targaryen ah, I would then be asking everyone else if they were stupid or stoned. I’m thinking of it more as a dance cap / badge of failure. Worth it.
@RedOak The day is almost over, and 103 sold. I’m not sure if I’ve seen a graph with several hours of Zero sold before.
Maybe this is UNpopular culture?
you get to buy this for twenty. FOR TWENTY.
is i think how the price was determined.
Dope smokers…get off my lawn and pull your Damned pants up! You wastes of man-snot.
How many people tried to tilt the magic button by tilting their phones?
You guys must be high to take a profit loss like this.
There has to be something we are missing here. Maybe the buyers will get something else ?
@jmbunkin Why don’t you buy one and report back to us?
@jmbunkin
Yah, the buyer will get a spanking for this one.
@jmbunkin This is exactly the thinking that got a Woot member a plastic banana and map of Idaho for $53.
@jmbunkin @sammydog01 Was it @bsmith1?
If this had been 4 PAIRS of socks instead of 4 socks (2 pairs), then perhaps I would have made the jump. But $10 per pair is nuts! Funny button notwithstanding…
I keep checking back today to see if it changes… hoping it was a joke!
Will there be unspoken contents in the package that make this worth 20 clams?
I will forever use the term porka-dot pizza.
@sammydog01 and I’ll be monitoring the location of my vocal cords next time I’m around helium .
Great job on the write-up, Meh
I need that button… but not those socks…
@amehzinggrace If I end up buying this, you can have the button.
Edit: I do look pretty good with egg on my face.
Time to start random drug testing on the buyers…
Ummm $1 socks and a button. Go ahead and spend $20 morons. LOL
@Meh_is_Meh They are actually really nice socks. Check out the manufacturer Gumball Poodle: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gumball+poodle+socks&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
@troy Good is subjective. Cotton socks with polyester and spandex are cheap socks where I live. Smartwool, People Socks, or Filson. Trust me. Take cotton socks hiking and you will see. Im sure they are great for walking to Starbucks though.
I definitely be stupid or stoned if I paid 10 bucks for a pair of socks!!!
Well, at least you’ll get an entire month’s worth of use out of them next year.
I’ll wait for these to come back around for only $5 a pair…
Whomever decided on this price point for this Meh needs to cut back on whatever they’re smoking.
100 sold thus far with only a couple of hours left.
@jandrese I’m # 100. I put Kansas on the map!
@Barney it was the purple button, wasn’t it
@troy No, I think it was all of the alcohol I drank.
This is comment #102, and 102 have been sold. What do I win? Not this, I hope.
Well, I figured I might as well get some value out of that five bucks a month that I’ve been coughing up for years, so I thought I’d check out the total for yesterday. As of 12:07 a.m. or so, Meh seems to have roped 104 orders of these thangs. Meh, you know you’re pressing your luck, don’t you?
mmm clean socks
