@Stallion Yup, I think this comment will be the highlight throughout this deal from all the users! Meaning everyone will be talking about this and Amazon!
@bigwilliestyle@Stallion They sold out. It was the red one only. If you only needed/ wanted 1(Red) that was the better deal (With 2 day shipping). Now they are 20$. I knew i would end up giving 1 (or two) to other people so this is a better deal again.
@bigwilliestyle Originally it was the Red and Blue for $4.99, the Red only had 8 left in stock but the blue had a ton. My guess is most Meh Friends jumped on and snatched those all up.
Technically their direct comp is 2 reds and 1 black for $29.96 (and it WAS $60 until 8:00pm tonight…), but fine, I dropped the price for you. I have informed customer service, so suckers who purchased before the price change will be taken care of.
“Guys, guys,” said Jerry, “it’s actually a funny story. So we decided to use the Vremi thermoses, right? Well, I found this killer deal online. Three for $15. Crazy, huh?
Did these start off as 3 for $15 but all the whining forced a price drop?
I’m lost with this deal, at least when meh links the Amazon deal, link it to the colors that are $19.99 and not the blue or red priced at $4.99!
But for those who see a deal and buy then it definitely sounds like a good deal, I always use Amazon as my confirmation to make sure I’m indeed getting a solid deal. But this doesn’t look like that with this deal! Unless we can manage to get these to drop to $10 or even $5 .
@myi the black and pink are $20 at Amazon, ski the price of each of these sets is $30 or $50 at Amazon.
I mean, if you only have one mouth and only need one Thermo, then, yeah, it’s cheaper at Amazon. But if you don’t like to wash your Thermo every day and want a few days’ worth, it’s cheaper over here.
So Thermos is a trademark, right? But if you say your insulated bottle is a Thermo and then you are selling more than one at a time, it’s ok to refer to them as Thermos?
@djslack That was my first thought too, about the trademark. Apparently, well, Wiki says so so it must be true: Thermos: Originally a Thermos GmbH trademark name for a vacuum flask; declared generic in the U.S. in 1963
I was surprised by this, so much that it made me cry. Hand me a Kleenex!
@myi Plus in the “Frequently bought together” Amazon shows tea bags. The point of a tea infuser is that you can be a tea snob and use loose tea. MEH would never offer two totally unrelated items in the same deal.
Others are saying Amazon has these for $5, and they’re right about the red and blue, but I liked the black and it’s still $20 on Amazon. I’ll take the $5 off and two freebies for gifts.

@ergomeh I’ve found telling my thermos what to do works pretty well. “Hey Thermos, keep this cold”
or “Hey Thermos, keep this hot”.
Sometimes I’ll add an “or else” at the end.
@chienfou Must be sentient.
Usually when I add the “or else” I’m waving a hammer at it.
I’ve found it to be far more efficient under threat of bludgeoning.
@ergomeh@RogerWilco Yeah but your choice: “I’d rather not answer that” or the ever ambiguous “I’m not sure” is the answer it gives. A.I. is an oxymoron. I don’t care what Alexa and Siri have to say about the quality of their programming. BTW Has anyone else heard Siri mumble under it’s breath that Alexa is a whore?
Just want to point out that these are fairly useless as a travel mug since they don’t have a lid you can drink through. The only way to access the contents is to screw the lid completely off.
I assumed you could drink through the lid and almost bought this (from Amazon) before I realized that you can’t.
Maybe these clowns will have a special on CR1212 batteries for the crap spinners they sold this time last year. I still have 35 of the “candy jar” spinners that need batteries!
Or probably not! I still have their mea culpa X$ off of my next order within (the expired) x months.
These clowns think they can continue to sell Chinese rubbish,
I haven’t bought anything since the fidget spinners a year ago.
Well, Meh is getting a bit slick with the pricing comparisons but I still bought the black with red.
I will totally pretend they are a Mondrian inspired Darth Vader with Imperial Guards.
The wide opening of the bottle is designed for you to enjoy your favorite beverage or liquid-centric meal (soups, chowder, chili, etc.) on the go
Only trouble is you need another item to tote around that you can pour the soup, chili etc into, or risk having it slosh all over your face if you try to just drink from the container.
So I put a thermos brand to-go cup of coffee in my gym bag this morning. I forgot this one was a leaker, get to the gym & yep, it leaked all over my closes. Good thing I keep spares here at work.
Any to-go coffee cup must be sealed! Or it’s shit. Now I really do have good ones so I don’t need these. But it seems like after what happened this morning, maybe the fates are giving me a hint.
Pink is OOS… whhhuuut?
I have lots O’ bottles and said “nah, I don’t need no more cheap bottles, I got yer ThermoFlasks and Swill or maybe Swell whatever I’m not sure”
Then I saw all the pretty pictures and happy discussion and thought, yes, pink would be nice. So I clicked “I want” and I got “not bottl’s for you” in the color I wanted.
@narfcake I would buy the others but would always be thinking of those Pink Floyd red/black totalitarian hammers. Ironic that the bottles we are buying come from China anyway. So, loop closed.
This is poorly designed. A wide mouth is bad for something this size from which you would directly consume liquid. If you want it to hold soup or chili, it needs to have a larger capacity.
@versabox Well, yes, and no. Wide mouth is good for people that want to put in ice cubes when they fill, and also for better cleaning which all bottles need unless you either let them just get yucky, or throw them away, the latter defeating the whole goal of the re-usable bottle…
I would rather have soup or chili in a lower wide-mouth jar. There are some nice vacuum-insulated jars that do that. I wouldn’t put soup or chili in one of these, but I guess you could in a pinch. Like if you’re on Naked and Afraid and you only have this and some leftover mongoose stew you need to take to your next campsite if you don’t get into a massive disagreement with your naked partner about whether you should put gross food into the only container you had for water!
The fact that people are saying these leak means there’s no way I’m buying this. The last small-top Vremi bottles are great, I’ve been using them after my previous glass water bottles dropped and shattered at work. No leakage, great insulation. I was actually really close to buying this one until I saw the reviews.
These are $4.99 Amazon Prime (Red or Blue Color)…Better deal than forcing 3 on us with slower shipping…
@Stallion Yup, I think this comment will be the highlight throughout this deal from all the users! Meaning everyone will be talking about this and Amazon!
@Stallion what’s the Amazon link for $5 ones? I can’t find them
@bigwilliestyle @Stallion They sold out. It was the red one only. If you only needed/ wanted 1(Red) that was the better deal (With 2 day shipping). Now they are 20$. I knew i would end up giving 1 (or two) to other people so this is a better deal again.

Price war with Amazon? 1N5UL8-TH4T-5H1T just got real.
@Moose You forgot to update the narrative…
@Moose @RogerWilco Wow, I see the negative in that! Do you see it?
Amazons price is 4.99 each.
@spiciernoodles with dropping it to 3 for 10 I’ll buy just because you listened.
3 for $10 motherfuckers!
Let the Meh Amazon war begin!!!

@djslack I’m picking out a thermos for you…
Amazon offers the $1 no rush shipping credit which is about the same speed as meh.com…
But push comes to shove if your buying support meh.com vs Amazon to show appreciation for all the good deals!

This is as mediocre as it gets people.
@RogerWilco I don’t know, I think it’s pretty smart. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold, but how does it know which to do?
@ergomeh I’ve found telling my thermos what to do works pretty well. “Hey Thermos, keep this cold”
or “Hey Thermos, keep this hot”.
Sometimes I’ll add an “or else” at the end.
@ergomeh @RogerWilco
So are these sentient or do they require a wifi or Bluetooth connection?
@chienfou Must be sentient.
Usually when I add the “or else” I’m waving a hammer at it.
I’ve found it to be far more efficient under threat of bludgeoning.
@RogerWilco makes sense!
@ergomeh @RogerWilco Yeah but your choice: “I’d rather not answer that” or the ever ambiguous “I’m not sure” is the answer it gives. A.I. is an oxymoron. I don’t care what Alexa and Siri have to say about the quality of their programming. BTW Has anyone else heard Siri mumble under it’s breath that Alexa is a whore?
@RogerWilco That works, but you don’t need three. Tell it to keep the soup hot and the ice cream cold and you have lunch in one container.
Seems like a real missed opportunity with that red & black combo
@braintuba
Make hammers great again!
@braintuba @pmarin You guys rock!

Why not two?
Anyway, great colors. Had to.

Don’t care that it’s the same price for one on Amazon, I want that pink blue black set.
burgeoning-youthful-ape gives some unfortunate giphy and image.

Says $60 at Amazon for 3 but it’s not. Im confused. Meh used to be better.

I used one of the thermos, it works great. Super buy. Will use the other as gifts. Thank you.
Nice, where’s the English crowd?
See above. Cheaper on Amazon!
Could you sell the product used to the show the size tomorrow? And maybe sell the color that Amazon does not have on special.
Only trouble is you need another item to tote around that you can pour the soup, chili etc into, or risk having it slosh all over your face if you try to just drink from the container.

Anyone know if these will work with carbonated beverages (i.e. beer)???
@southpaw32 If you’re thinking about having it filled, breweries may not do so if the vessel doesn’t have the standard warning labels.
Not worried about that. I just need to know if it capable of holding carbonated beverages.
