(Oh man, I have GOT to get out of this house… I can’t take it any more!!)
@shubydoo Me too, I had no idea these things existed but now realize each one solves an incredibly important problem that I never knew I had. Send them quick!
@ggrochr are… are you my mommy?? (Reaches out quivering, inquisitive finger…) HEY!! I’MA BUY TWO!!!

Quirky was the embodiment of everything that can go wrong with “business disruption.” They made some pretty interesting pivots with other peoples’ money. And they clearly produced a lot of crap. They tried to sell their “wisdom of crowds innovation platform” as SaaS for a bit. I spent an unfortunate hour of my life with their Sales Manager. Anyway, I still have a few of the Bluetooth Speaker/Wireless Charging Pad combo’s our friends here at meh sold a while back. Those were/are decidedly not crap.
@Frcal You’ll feel pretty silly when you slip on a soap bar and crack your skull, or have to take off your shirt to get to your sink stopper. Just cause it has never happened before doesn’t mean it won’t in the future. As we have now learned…a little advanced prep can be well worth it.
@Frcal I was a member of their community back when they were crowdsourcing designs. I never submitted a design but I voted on a lot of stuff and earned a couple hundred bucks just for giving input on successful products. Then everything got weird and they screwed over designers who were owed money.
I still kinda love the concept and wish it could have been executed better.
@Frcal I’m using one of the chargers on my office desk now. I also gave my mom the combo. Put it in her living room so her phone is always charged and she uses the speaker for her marathon calls with her sister in Florida! Not sure about any of their other products but this one was pretty good.
@Frcal They had some great stuff. The charging mat and speaker. The flexible power strip. I have an aluminum riser for my iMac that includes a USB hub. Those things have been good. But they also made some crap too.
@Frcal I’m still using several Quirky products – the ones other people have mentioned, several PowerCurls, and these great plastic drinking glasses that don’t trap water when they’re stacked.
But they lost my loyalty over the smarthome stuff. They had such cool concepts, and badly mishandled them. They had a bulky, ugly, proprietary hub – first strike. They lost the crypto keys for said proprietary hub and had to send out replacement hardware. And they rapidly obsoleted expensive products, which made it too risky to buy more of their hardware.
I’ve never read a postmortem, but as someone who was around close to the end, I’d be surprised if the smarthome stuff didn’t significantly contribute to their demise.
@Frcal@whogots Yeah I got burned on wink. Was able to repair my hub but it is so unrealiable. The GE Wink light bulbs are also weird, water is condensing in a bunch of mine. So water and electrcity is fine right?
How is that “lock” supposed to work? Is it enough not like a lock that would-be locker thieves (they don’t want your stuff, just the locker) would overlock, err… overlook it and think the locker was lookedLOCKED by magic?
Long ago in the dim recesses of my childhood past I remember we had a deep utility sink in the basement, with a plug for the drain that had a little chain and a cork float on the top. I don’t recall if it came like that or someone had rigged it up, but that was the sink where disgusting things got cleaned and the cork allowed you to drain the icky wash water without sticking your arm in. In fact many of the sink stoppers had chains on them, altho that’s the only one I remember having a float.
And now so many years later here it is again, in aqua no less. And the stapler looks kind of neat. But I already spent my $19 today on a screwdriver bit set over at woot, so, Meh.
“Never forget your gym locker at home again” is an illogical marketing ploy.
First off, my gym LOCKER was at the gym, not my home (and that might be why it’s called a GYM locker…)
Next, if you really meant my gym locker LOCK, I could still forget this offered flat lock at home, just as easily as any other lock, if I were to be in the habit of carrying the lock around on my person. Probably, I’d be keeping my gym locker lock in my gym bag, and I could still forget that bag at home on the way to the gym, but might notice when there were no shorts or jock strap to change into.
Anyhoo, I still find use in the pizza cutter and the floating drain bob-amajig, so
/buy
@phendrick Somewhere in the copy they note that it is “wallet sized”, the implication being that you never need leave your home without a lock at hand.
@rpstrong So, the assumption is that I never leave home without my wallet?
Actually, I’ve forgotten my wallet at home MANY more times than I’ve forgotten my gym locker lock. (I believe the count on that last is zero.)
My worlds are colliding. I was went deep into Quirky when it was a thing. The whole idea was you could gain little pieces of what they called, influence, on each product that they made. Every product was crowdsourced. Then there were steps where you could earn % of influence. Helping name the product, the tag line, even preordering the product would give you a little chunk of influence. Influence would determine how much money you would make from each product sold. They had designated 30% of the income of each product to go to the community. I spent countless hours voting on stuff, commenting, voting on names, preordering all kinds of crap. All in all I want to say I made around $500. I was banking on this being a nice little revenue stream. Heck they even made it into Target and Bed Bath and Beyond for a little while, and now they are on meh.
@kylejwilke OMG, I was a member too! I just posted something about it in response to someone else before I saw your post. I think I made around $300 so either you were more dedicated than I was or you were better at picking winners. I spent most of it on presents one Christmas near the end when they were having some ridiculous sales. I remember there were these balance board things that were on sale for $10. I think I bought 5 of them for my nieces and nephews.
@kylejwilke I dabbled a bit on Quirky and sometimes clicked thru their emails.
It was a very clever concept and seemed to work for a while until they got into higher priced stuff. Perhaps they hoped higher priced stuff would yield higher margins.
But to me that world felt too much like a place to burn a lot of time with little to show for it. And with the organization itself plus a handful to 20-50 contributors making real money.
What do you figure your income per hour worked out to in the Quirky world?
@christinerenee I saw your post. I would go to their “townhall” meetings where they would read comments on their weekly product winners that would move on. It was super clever and they actually came out with some solid products.
There were a few Christmas where my family got exclusively Quirky products.
I think my overall favorite product of theirs was the Eggminder. I remember hearing how much money got spent on developing something that originally sold for $60+ all to tell you how long your eggs had been in the fridge. It did make a funny conversation starter, hey want to know how many eggs are in my fridge? I have an app. Although, the batteries always died so fast as they got cold haha.
I still sign in and check my account occasionally, currently have $5 in there. Last payout was .15 last year.
@RedOak The higher priced stuff was definitely their downfall. It was so much work. I was taking community college classes at the time, so I had a lot of time on my hands. I submitted so many ideas but never got picked up. The voting and stuff was fun. I would attempt to beat the system by commenting and voting on every product so I would get a little bit of influence regardless of who got picked. It actually worked pretty well for a little. We are maybe talking pennies an hour, and that is probably being generous. They did a good job at making the community feel important and that our voice mattered, even though you could see them making a lot of the design choices and guiding what the product would eventually be. Hey, the idea that I could have side income was a big motivator haha.
@kylejwilke I didn’t think we could still make money. For some reason, I thought I had a balance of about $15 that was lost when they made some changes. But my memory must be off.
I just signed in for the first time in years and I have a balance of 68 cents.
Had to learn more about the “Flat-Lock” but not much out there. Looks like a padlock you can store in your wallet that locks when you pull the bottom “Key” off and will unlock when you rejoin. Looks neat if you need a lock in a pinch. I’d be worried it could be forced open fairly easily though.
@trapuh
Idk the pizza cutter could be useful for getting through the agony of cutting crust! I wish they included a water bottle opener and a banana slicer and my world would be salvaged.
@trapuh, what about da ‘corn’ candy¿? BTW, I still fn have some a dat stuff!! Somethin that good, you don’t wanna eat it all at one time!! That’s what I tell meself anyway!!
I might, or I might as well buy this stuff cause I gotta spend this stimulus money to at least help my PTSD,…I mean, help the US economy. All I need to do now is figure out where to spend the other $1181.00. I may buy some gas so I can break out my John Deer or the Cub Cadet, or which-ever one is working & cut the DAMN YARD, OR ANYTHING,…I’M FN GETTIN STIR CRAZY [‘cabin-fukn-fever’, according to tRumplethinskin] & HAVING CANIPTION FITS FN STAYING @ HOME, SOCIAL FN DISTANCING & QUARANTININ, OR WHAT FREAKING EVER, SOMEBODY HELP ME!! DAMN!!
@decoratedwarvet I would go over the wine site and order something pronto. Today’s offer is particularly good. Though in your state of mind, PERHAPS THAT IS NOT ADVISABLE! SOMEBODY HELP HIM!! DAMN!!
@pmarin, I’m Good!! 1st of all, I was kidding! I’m a hermit & love solitude. Since I was my Dad’s, then my Mom’s caregiver, I got used to stayin at home & not running ‘round gettin into shit. Psrsonally, I stay happy & content through my spirituality & I’ m really not an old grouch, but I just enjoy acting like one on sites like this. 2nd, my state does not allow mail-order liquor purchases, but I did go out yesterday to buy some damn groceries & bought me some wine, so I’m actually good, so I won’t be going out raising hell & whinning to my state for their ‘stay your ass home’ & other policies!! Especially since I don’t work anyway & wish everybody stayed their asses at home. That way the birds would chirp louder & the skies would stay clearer. Any damn way, that’s my story & I’m stickin to it, JSYK!!
@DennisFreeman unfortunately this is correct. I did buy one. At $10, I would have bought 2 or 3. And there would be way more than 247 sold after 1/2 a day. (well, not sure how many they have).
@harveydanger@richrauch fukubukuro is an actual lucky bag in Japan that you normally buy at the new years. After they stopped being lucky at meh they changed the name to fukobukuro. Unlucky bag.
@marymaryk That bag is the Shower tote. Basically used for college kids in dorms with shared bathrooms. It would work better than the bucket I had back during my freshman year. The Wine holders is a cork with two legs and a ring with two legs.
@indiebass Actually I have seen some stuff from this brand and it is usually pretty good. Like most household items, MSRP is just ridiculous, but i’ve bought some for 50 or 70% at Target. and actually I think I can use most of these. Plus I am bored and the highlight of each day is the visit by the UPS driver.
So I have wanted that stapler since I first saw it 5 years ago… but then it faded from my mind… then I saw it here again in this bundle of quirky crap… but $19… that seems like the price I didn’t wanna pay for the stapler 5 years ago… but then I remembered they gave us a coupon code for something so I popped that in and ended up paying $14 for this stapler and some other quirky crap.
hey i got my stuff and it’s actually pretty good! i can actually use most of it. btw it’s still on morningsave; was actually considering buying another.
Why didn’t you include staples?? Hahaha I saw this and was intrigued with what the heck were all these items. I am still wondering why the magnetic stapler but like the novelty of it. Flat lock? Indeed quirky. The tote was the biggest attention grabber to me. Still yet to use it. In fact, I still have not used anything. Looking forward to trying the pizza cutter. It has to be better than those wheel cutters, right?? So, Meh on!!
@SthrnNora Ha!! I went to quirky.com to check out their products. Little did I know the magnetic stapler helps you staple where other staplers don’t go!! Example…the binding of a report. Really, cool. Easy to staple items to a cork board! Yep…cool.
@SthrnNora I’m finding the stapler to be garbage. The magnets are stronger than the latch to keep it from opening. So it’s constantly opening (where you add the staples). I tried to bend the metal a bit to get it to hold better but that is a no go.
Finding most of this bundle to be utter garbage. Maybe the pizza cutter is worth a few $$ but most of the rest is junk. Certainly not worth the $19. Regretting this one for sure.

@phendrick Yes, that is the assumption. It would certainly apply to me; I’m more likely to forget my phone than my wallet.
But in your case, turn it around. If you kept your lock in your wallet, and you rarely forget forget the latter.

Bad marketing, you’d have sold out at $10 for stocking stuffers, $19 is psychologically an awful price point.
@DennisFreeman unfortunately this is correct. I did buy one. At $10, I would have bought 2 or 3. And there would be way more than 247 sold after 1/2 a day. (well, not sure how many they have).
Here’s a clue of what to expect in the next “Bag o’ Crap”.

honestly the bag with the bungee cords is pretty clever, assuming they stay fixed well enough to hold bottles of wine in place.

Hey… you guys ok? This is a little… out there. Even for Meh. The social distancing getting to you all? Remember: we’re all alone, together.
@indiebass Actually I have seen some stuff from this brand and it is usually pretty good. Like most household items, MSRP is just ridiculous, but i’ve bought some for 50 or 70% at Target. and actually I think I can use most of these. Plus I am bored and the highlight of each day is the visit by the UPS driver.
@pmarin Well if you post your name and address who knows what might show up.
So I have wanted that stapler since I first saw it 5 years ago… but then it faded from my mind… then I saw it here again in this bundle of quirky crap… but $19… that seems like the price I didn’t wanna pay for the stapler 5 years ago… but then I remembered they gave us a coupon code for something so I popped that in and ended up paying $14 for this stapler and some other quirky crap.
hey i got my stuff and it’s actually pretty good! i can actually use most of it. btw it’s still on morningsave; was actually considering buying another.
Why didn’t you include staples?? Hahaha I saw this and was intrigued with what the heck were all these items. I am still wondering why the magnetic stapler but like the novelty of it. Flat lock? Indeed quirky. The tote was the biggest attention grabber to me. Still yet to use it. In fact, I still have not used anything. Looking forward to trying the pizza cutter. It has to be better than those wheel cutters, right?? So, Meh on!!
@SthrnNora Ha!! I went to quirky.com to check out their products. Little did I know the magnetic stapler helps you staple where other staplers don’t go!! Example…the binding of a report. Really, cool. Easy to staple items to a cork board! Yep…cool.
@SthrnNora I’m finding the stapler to be garbage. The magnets are stronger than the latch to keep it from opening. So it’s constantly opening (where you add the staples). I tried to bend the metal a bit to get it to hold better but that is a no go.
Finding most of this bundle to be utter garbage. Maybe the pizza cutter is worth a few $$ but most of the rest is junk. Certainly not worth the $19. Regretting this one for sure.
