“Swarovski Crystal isn’t a gemstone or even a crystal it’s a form of glass that’s made at high temperatures by melting silicon oxide powders with lead to form what is known as lead crystal. The exact process is one that’s patented by Swarovski but it has approximately 32% lead content to increase the crystals refraction index to resemble that of a diamond. To produce a diamond like effect the crystal glass is precision cut and then polished again by a Swarovski patented process that gives the crystal a high quality finish. The crystals are often further enhanced by coating the glass with an Aurora Borealis or AB coating that gives the surface a rainbow like appearance to simulate dispersion from a diamond. Swarovski crystal has a Mohs hardness of between 6-7 so its susceptible to scratches and chipping from wear and tear but at the same time it’s harder than standard glass. The lead content in the crystal increases the refraction index of the glass from 1.5 to 1.7 to give the faceted faced a more sparkly appearance.”

It’s a new feature:
A VMP can buy with a slash, but if you reach XMP status the bot will come up with some lame excuse and decline your order whenever you order crap.
Whaddaya mean no holidays? It’s my birthday, dammit! Unfortunately a compromised immune system caused me to get too many infections in the past, so I no longer wear pierced ear adornments. C’est la vie!
Clever way to juice the market! The total sold would have stayed at three for the rest of the night until that “glitch” suddenly appeared. Suddenly, consumers felt deprived and NEEDED three pairs of tacky hinged zirconium encrusted ear brackets.
Funny, when they were “sold out”, I was never gonna buy junk, costume jewelry. And now that they are back in stock? Nope, still not gonna buy them.
That’s a win-win for everyone right? Obviously for me, but also for the someone who was too busy braiding their nose hair to check Meh earlier that can now buy the one I would have bought, and also for Meh, because they have two happy customers now.
So I axe da boss " hey ya want dees" and she’s like “are they at least filled” and I’m like “naw plate but they’re only 18 bucks” and she’s like nah take me for Chinese food instead.
Sheets on the couch? Where do you people live, the JW Marriott? You grab the old thinned-out pillow and the spare throw blanket and that’s how you sleep on the couch. You know you did it right when you wake up with a sore neck and a gritty feeling in your head.
I’m tempted to buy these just so that I can throw them in the trash, which is the place where they belong.
I’m conflicted, though, between my urge to dispose of as many of these as possible by throwing them into a literal hole in the ground full of other garbage, and the thought that purchasing them at all could be seen as supporting the further manufacture and sale of such worthless junk.

Diaper earrings??Huggies"? Guess got you covered – meh be
I prefer Pampers
@ConAndLibrarian I guess I’m soon moving into the Depends stage.
Swarovski ‘Elements?’ Are these the small shards that came off the broom at the Swarovski factory?
@norman8 It’s next to Unatanium on the Periodic table.
/buy
@kadagan Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
Is this broken, or are they really sold out already?
@mediocrebot “sold out” – WTF?
@kadagan its broken, it has happened before, might be a while until it gets fixed though
@kadagan we’re not, give us a couple of minutes.
@Thumperchick its working now, thanks!!
I hope the baby Thumper is doing well
@kadagan She is, thanks!
That was fast…
@yugrudfooz my thoughts exactly
Does Meh need a hug(gie)?
Whoops two other comments snuck in while typing. I guess Kadagan needs one. If it’s broken I think a free three-fer set should be sent to you.
Ordering problems…Sold Out? I never saw the buy option so it looks like a bug…
@Stallion It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
like Lois Lane said to Superman-
“Gee, you are faster than a speeding bullet.”
oh dear tagging @shawn @dave . seems like something broke
@communist already working on it.
@communist Huggie earring – more like buggy earring, am I right?
Seriously, am I right?
@Thumperchick does that mean it’s broken and not sold out or that they are
/giphy all gone
@Cerridwyn we’re not sold out. Site will update shortly.
@Cerridwyn that’s like the Tesla of Fleshlights.
@Thumperchick It’s a shame we don’t have somebody to blame for this.
@2many2no
ಠ_ಠ
@Thumperchick Oh wait! I know who to blame.
It’s me this month (but see the OHSHIT Report.)
what da…
lol, sold out in 3 mins
Less jewelry, more anything else.
Sold out?? I guess “3 pairs” was the inventory level.
Swarovski crystal is just glass.

@versabox From a website:

TL;DR: Eh, my wife likes it.
@wishlish Made in Detroit?
@versabox Glass with bling.
Is this another Mehration?
Shoot! I blinked… What did I miss?
@HobKoblin 42
Not even a pause for the 8AM people or the VMP later?
@transplant check again.
@Thumperchick Yawn… I turned out light and went to sleep before problem corrected…
How does something so ugly sell out so quickly. Glad to hear it’s likely a glitch, otherwise I’d have to rethink my opinion of the consumers here.
Sold out in 3 minutes? I guess selling these in summer wasn’t such a bad idea.
Who has a good “hold music” track?
@Thumperchick
@Thumperchick
/youtube the system is down
/giphy well that escalated quickly
I was surprised these sold out, then I saw the map.
Double fake. Fake sell out, amping suckers up to think they missed something almost as “wonderful” as a Fuko.
Then open it up and let the orders flood in.
@RedOak Scarcity creates demand, absolutely. Tricky Tricky
@RedOak you give us a lot of credit where it isn’t due.
@RedOak fake news!

/giphy happy birthday
sold out in three minutes? Wow.
Sorry about that, we’re back now.
Mini-OHSHIT Report: I didn’t put in how many we had before it launched.
/giphy Oops
@dave nicely stated - no need for a full Oh Shit Report.
@dave also on the plus side, you know now how to do a Fuku-like instant sellout without @shawn’s assistance. And without a Fuko.
/giphy and we’re back
@Thumperchick
/giphy turn down for what
I smell an OH SHIT report in the near future!
@SSteve Already there… 2 comments up.
I want enough people to click the meh link that meh.com shows up as a referring site.
@Pantheist I think those are covered under this:
@Thumperchick Aw, oh well.
They found 2000 more pairs under the sofa cushion just now. How lucky for us.
@huja where’d you come up with 2000?
@shawn Big sofa.
Clever way to juice the market! The total sold would have stayed at three for the rest of the night until that “glitch” suddenly appeared. Suddenly, consumers felt deprived and NEEDED three pairs of tacky hinged zirconium encrusted ear brackets.
Something went terribly wrong,

We can’t do a thing
With your diaper bling,

Interesting how things work out like that…;)
Bought these last time they were up for grabs. These are REALLY cute, but they irritate my sensitive ears
Gotta give 'em away.
Bought these for myself last time and love them. This time I am getting them for Christmas presents.
I bought these. They HURT. The post is notched and is quite painful when putting these on. I don’t recommend.
And the bosses were right.

@cerridwyn You are only the second Cerridwyn I’ve seen. One of my grands is Cerridwen Athena.
I have these and I love them. Wear them every day.

@jiltant go ahead, I promise to disregard sales of yours when considering if this event was a success.
@jiltant You just got goth served.
@dave Aw, do you really mean it? I’m in for a set then. I’ll let you know when I get them and then throw them in the trash.

@dave Don’t forget to subtract one order from the sales total. Thanks!
@dave
Don’t ever say I never did anything for you.
Well, with gender fluidity and all that, ya know i wanna be a pretty as the next guy. IDK. This is a toughie.
Got today , meh only sent one of each, know any pirates with one ear pierced?
@hughes7224
They like to hide the other half of each pair inside the packaging.
