Am I the only one?

Durago thought this was worth mentioning said Mon, Mar 26th 2018 at 10:06pm ET

While it has admittedly become my personal little joke, I occasionally wonder if I am the only one who continues to find this thread title amusing. However, that is not what I’m here for today.

Today I am here to ask a different question. I’ve been here at meh, following along, generally fairly quietly, for a long time. Easily over 3.5 years. Over that time, I’ve seen some hits, some misses, and some real doozies featured here, which brings me to that question:

What’s the strangest product you recall seeing on meh? And what has been your strangest purchase here?

I don’t really have any strange purchases.

My order history is carefully curated.

Every Meh purchase is strange. I don’t shop here for the basics…

A bunch of loose razors in a mailing envelope was pretty strange. And yes I bought them.

sligett said Tue, Mar 27th 2018 at 12:52pm ET:

I think the strangest things I have gotten here have been in Fuku’s or Fuko’s. I got a UV (disinfecting?) Vacuum Cleaner in one and a weird Wedding Clock in another. I brought the vacuum into work and gave it away (I put it in the staff room give-away pile), but I use the clock in my basement. I have never installed the batteries that activate the hourly wedding music, just the ones needed to tell time.

There may be other strange objects in purchases that I haven’t opened yet…

This is the strangest thing I ever got, which I had no intention of buying. It was of course in a Fuko. It came in a flat panel TV box which, for someone who is TV-less, was quite a letdown.

  But after a while, I would go get a snack.

In today’s episode of point/counterpoint, I posit that @Durago’s clinging to this solitary topic title is, in fact, entertaining. This is a level of commitment to which most of us can only aspire.

Vote with your stars, people!
