@dvshrt Unfortunately no one will come close to surpassing the joy next Halloween and all of you will once again be the houses known as, “The crappy Mr. Goodbar place.”
Honestly, I just don’t know. meh, you know i obsess over these spinner things. Last time, someone was gonna mail me one i was so nutty. https://imgur.com/a/CZvSO
Also, hope everyone had a nice TG, and if not that, I hope you are nicely recovering from a bad TG. If bad, tell me, tell me.
Ha! Just this past Saturday, I handed out 45 (all that worked of my 50) LED fidget spinners from last time they were sold. We were at a “Hardcore German Sparkle Party” and maaaan, those spinners were a huge hit.
@awk Listened and my first thought was some ad hoc brass street band in New Orleans, playing at some dive like the Mayfair, Saturn, Funky Butt, Cafe Brazil, or Tips . In other words, any saturday night, pretty much, and especially around JF or MG.
Turns out they’re from Seattle. Whoda thunk. They’d be right at home in NOLA. And then there was proof:
@awk That’s the party I was at. At the Mercury in Seattle. The marching band is tradition, they come in every year for Sparkle Party. They play for about half an hour, I think- but it’s hard to judge time at one of those events. heh.
@Pony Sometimes I wonder what aliens would think of us if they were covertly watching all of our activities. At first, I think “Wow, that would be kind of embarrassing!” Then I think Mehbe they would feel right at home.
Hey meh, I see you learned something with the disclaimer after the last sale with busted reds and lights out LOL By the way the better batteries ones had more that worked than the ones with the crappy batteries.
@Kevfin Might be overly dramatic but I will be cancelling my VIP membership over this. The one day of the year I expect a kickass deal and we get this crap? I’m right there with you about expectations.
@toddlamp it’s not overly dramatic to cancel vmp. It might be overly dramatic to announce why you’re cancelling vmp but then not follow through. There’s still a V by your name.
@djslack LOL, toché! Maybe Meh is that girlfriend you know is terrible for you but you just can’t tell her it’s over yet even after she killed your cat.
Weird on my cellphone it showed these fidget spinners but on my iPad it showed marvel comics at the same time except said sorry too late —enter image description here
I don’t know about you guys but I’ve been getting about 30 emails a day ALL WEEK that go like “BLACK FRIDAY WEEK SALES START NOW DOORBUSTERS DON’T MISS SNAP UP 48-HOURS 90% OFF SPECIAL EXTRRA CRAZY DERPY DERPDERP”.
Apparently starting your Black Friday sales on Monday is the hottest new thing in retail!
I bought 100 last time. I gave them out for halloween and as random gifts. Kids who were bored with the idea freaked out over the leds. Adults who had no idea what they were really liked them too. All in all a winner.
That said I’m not getting more. I don’t think anyone will care about unlit ones and unless I at least knew the ratio it’s too risky.
I give these for gifts to total strangers bought 50 for 20 last time about one in five do the following, light not working, bearing not working, pieces falling off, but still a good deal because I pieced some of them together so make someone happy and buy some, the ones that work are awesome . but 50 are enough. they look like a 5 dollar item.
@mellowirishgent did they come in packaging or loose? would be cool to drop all of these in my local toy drive box (small town), but I don’t think it’s a good look if they’re not in at least a blister pack or something
How I imagine the offices of Meh came up with this:
“Black Friday is coming up. What awesome deal can we push?”
“What’s the most pointless thing we have in our warehouse we can pawn off on people?”
“Candy corn?”
“Shut up”
“Dunno. We have like a bajillion of these no-brand fidget spinners.”
“Bingo. Give them like. 15 per order or something.”
“What the frik are our customers going to do with 15 fidget spinners?”
“Thats for them to figure out. You know what? Make it 20.”
Bonus points if you saw this as a conversation between Zapp Branigan and Kiff.
@calicojack42
I totally heard it again in my head as Zapp Brannigan and Kipp after you said it.
I first heard it as 2 salesmen talking in the old “new york” accent.
@calicojack42 I got inside info. Original idea was 15/$5 by pre-2017 meh staff. Finally 2017 mgmt ruled in favor current meh Higher prices policy and set 20/$9.
Yes, three sets. For kids at Children’s Church, most of whom won’t get stuff from their parents. They have a hard enough time keeping the food the school sends home for the weekends. Their parents steal the free backpacks and sell them.
There were only 5 broken out of the ones I got here for Halloween. Then I bought them on morning save and all of them worked! I wonder if I need more for Christmas?
If I could think faster, I would have posted this yesterday. Can we get some Make America meh Again shirts?
I don’t even know what that means, so please no polytickle hating.
Finally got them this morning, having purchased 2x. Rather than receiving a mixture of spinners (different colors, more than 2 types), I received 26 dark blue plain ones, and 14 light blue ones with white discs (light up? glow in the dark?).
There was absolutely NOTHING random about the batch I received. As the description suggested, I ordered two batches to get some sort of mixture.
The thing I am most impressed with this deal/comment section? NOTHING from Meh’s gibbons apologizing or at least rationalizing the lack of variety in our delivered spinners.
There’s a reason I stopped the $5/mo Meh membership quite a while back - at least when they were at Woot there was a give-a-darn attitude. Yeah - I know the name is “Meh”, but this is ridiculous.
@BuffBillsFan The public facing staff at woot (at least the one that was always around) was disingenuous at best, and CS is much better here.
edit: From what I’ve seen, the “random” sets of things here are generally disappointing, and anything “fuku-like” is going to be an even bigger waste of money than the regular fukus. Similar to woot in that sense anyway.
I have to say, I actually really enjoy these spinners. However, the regular ones that I got were all the color red, and all of the ones with the lights were all the same color as well.
It made a really cool temporary Facebook profile video for New Years Eve, picking the box up and setting it down to set off all of the lights…

YTMND is totes still up. I did one once, back in the day. It wasn’t very popular.
It was going to be these or Candy Corn…thanks for continuing to let us down one craptastick day at a time…
.
I bought 20 for $10… Feeling jipped rn
@yugrudfooz they feel guilty that 10% do not work…
It’s gypped.
(And FYI, it’s a racist term.)
@yugrudfooz I opted for 50 for $20 last time. Gave them to kiddos for Trick r Treat. Am now Halloween God of my neighborhood.
@dvshrt Unfortunately no one will come close to surpassing the joy next Halloween and all of you will once again be the houses known as, “The crappy Mr. Goodbar place.”
@yugrudfooz these are different from last time and I m afraid May fail to meet high bar set by meh(I know, I know) last time!
I’m glad I don’t have to stare at meh all day in case there’s something I want to buy.
Figured it was a prime Fuku day
Are these worth the extra nickel each?
Honestly, I just don’t know. meh, you know i obsess over these spinner things. Last time, someone was gonna mail me one i was so nutty.

I had very low expectations when I checked to see what was selling. Must say, my expectations have been met.

Did not receive a “It shipped” email on my order yet!
@jmbunkin
Has anyone that was actually foolish enough to buy them actually gotten a, "your order has shipped " notice?
@JnKL Yep, email came yesterday.
@JnKL
not so random. 26 green & 14 blue. dissatisfied.
@heclem eww, that’s not very random. Are they all the same kind as well as color?
7 blue led and 13 red not led. Nice job warehouse guys.
@sammydog01 damn.
@therealjrn They’re going into a donation box so it really doesn’t matter. But still.
13 red and 7 green led. Not very random. I am pretty dissatisfied.
Every single one is yellow. “Random.”
Random = Lazy
They did technically send us what we ordered. Maybe it bothers us more than it should.
I have to say I am absolutely disappointed.
Finally got them this morning, having purchased 2x. Rather than receiving a mixture of spinners (different colors, more than 2 types), I received 26 dark blue plain ones, and 14 light blue ones with white discs (light up? glow in the dark?).
There was absolutely NOTHING random about the batch I received. As the description suggested, I ordered two batches to get some sort of mixture.
Pure fail, Meh.
Disappointed
@BuffBillsFan I was as well. I ordered a double order as well, and I only got 2 types…
Yeah, 7 light blue light up, and 13 green with metal rings.
Would have been nice to get more than 2 types.
I guess whoever packed these packed the gift bags as well.
13 dark blue; 7 black LED. So far every LED one I’ve tried, two of the three lights work and one does nothing.
The thing I am most impressed with this deal/comment section? NOTHING from Meh’s gibbons apologizing or at least rationalizing the lack of variety in our delivered spinners.
There’s a reason I stopped the $5/mo Meh membership quite a while back - at least when they were at Woot there was a give-a-darn attitude. Yeah - I know the name is “Meh”, but this is ridiculous.
