April 15th IRK Reveal!
11Could it be? Am I the first?
A slightly longer-than-normal box from Meh arrived today. It was tantalizingly solid in its weight. Not too heavy, but not light either. Dared I let visions of disrobable speakers dance in my head for the precious moments between doorstep and knife where only Schrodinger knows what’s in the box? I shan’t say.
Contents:
- 1 cheerful Orange IRK bag
- Seemingly requisite 1amp micro usb charger, I still think these are useful
- Fancy sonic exfoliating face machine
- Airbuds, the packaging of which is high end enough I have hopes that they don’t suck and might be good to use
- 3 black Incase 15" Macbook Pro cases. I bet from the product offerings they don’t fit my wife’s model year, but even if they do, 3 of them is a number guaranteed to ensure some regret, since you may have a MacBook, maybe even two in a family, but only someone named Jobs or Cook probably would have 3. Well played, Meh!
Thanks, Meh!

Mine just came. Looks very similar.
1 orange bag
17 foundation samples
1 charger for an Android
1 fancy face scrubber
2 15” MacBook cases
The last edit I got it to rotate, now I can’t edit to remove the comment about it being sideways.
@remo28 Next time try edit on your phone before you upload. You don’t need to actually change anything. After you save it then upload. You have a 5 minute edit window on posts. When I am trying to fix a post it seems like 5 seconds.
The Zagg-rathon IRK has arrived, and I gotta admit, I had super low expectations. What could have been a box of broken power banks and wax-encrusted earbuds turned out pretty great!
3 random pillow cases
Sport bra, size “Queen”
Spare purple bag, in case someone kidnaps my first one
Fit Pro Smartwatch, used, but appears to be working. I was actually thinking of breaking down and finally buying one of these. An early adopter I am not.
And a brand new Cavalier Air speaker!
Woohoo, thanks Meh! It was an honor to be one of the 250 people to get one of these. This should be the shortest reveal thread in Meh history.
@Trillian I got that speaker once! Got to find a charger for it.
@Trillian I am fairly happy with my cousin of yours. Got the same electronics.
-purple irk bag
Overall pretty pleased to try this stuff out and could use a couple of the main items. Thanks meh.
@Trillian
I’m thinking about getting a smart watch too, maybe it will be useful when (when) I walk. I was really hoping for one in my irk but I did not get any. Even ordered the Mother’s Day mystery bundle (tech) and still did not get one. I guess I’m gonna have to buy it.
@Trillian
/giphy yass queen
@Star2236 Where was the mystery bundle from, did I miss it?
@Lynnerizer
Morning save, there’s still some left I think.
This is the day when there were only 250 total IRKs. I thought maybe they’d be a little more special, but no, still fairly generic contents.
@ShotgunX I was kind of thinking that too. I got mine today. It wasn’t even fairly generic. It sucked. But it’s all a game. I will feel better about it tomorrow. Tonight…I am irritated…and I will eat chips and salsa.
Thanks BerNarD! …I mean Meh!
IRK Box:
Contents Include:
It’s normal on one side, and on the back it looks like this!
I’m STOKED about my used new air purifier!
@GenWithaG123 Also, does anyone know know if this IRK bag is really old design or a really new one???
@GenWithaG123 I got an orange one a while back, so not new.
@GenWithaG123 @RiotDemon They don’t make them like that anymore so consider it a collector’s item.
@GenWithaG123 @sammydog01 … Wait? Did the bag change?
@GenWithaG123 @RiotDemon They’re the same print on both sides now.
@GenWithaG123 @sammydog01 ohhhh no! I didn’t notice!
@GenWithaG123
One more bag I’m on the hunt for besides the elusive yellow
@GenWithaG123 @RiotDemon @sammydog01
Hah, my first one (it was black) had that simpler design on it, and I thought I’d gotten a defective one, since the photos all had the more complex picture. It was months before I realized that the other side had that design on it!
@GenWithaG123 Bernard returned the Oreck vacuum because he wanted one made by Genie.
/image bernard and the genie
Orange IRK bag
2 incase textured hardshell cases for macbook
1 chair cover
2 toothbrush coins
1 AC wall charger.
All of this has a future as craft project material for my kid. Should be a lot of fun.
1:
@TenaciousT Twins
@sunnysideup22 @TenaciousT I got the same items and colors and am now in possession of Toothcoin 3600 and Brushcoin 4000. I’m not OCD, but am oddly pleased by the even round numbers.
KuoH
@kuoh @sunnysideup22 @TenaciousT
VERY nice numbers!
Looks like I’m one of the early ones this time around. Although I didn’t get an IRK bag, I suppose it’s still mostly limited regret.
I’m going to check with the front desk at my building to make sure they didn’t miss anything else, but if this is it, even without an IRK bag this is pretty good.
Bit of a foot theme for me, recently, with the Hunter wellies in last week’s IRK. And I really can’t complain much about not getting an IRK bag this time around. I just went through a closet and found some of the older ones I don’t use for shopping.
@iamdmann
Very jealous of your foot massager. I save one each color bag to and not use them for anything. We’re both missing the elusive yellow.
@Star2236 I know I’ve had one of the yellows, and i had some fuko bags, too, but i don’t think they survived my last move. I think the massager might be too small for my feet, but, like the boots, it should be a perfect fit for my girlfriend. Sadly, only one more IRK in queue to ship at this point.
@iamdmann
at least someone gets their feet massaged.
Dam move
Same as @djslack except instead of the face scrubby thing I got 13 makeup samples. It’s hard to take a photo since my camera phone is broken so you can all imagine what it looks like in your minds.
I only got my April 1 IRK 3 days ago, and them the April 15 IRK arrives today!
Air fryer in a previously opened and resealed box, but everything inside appears in tact and brand new!
No IRK bag or other items stuffed along inside as I’ve seen with other manufacturer packaging, but a fairly regret-less kit imo.
Winner Winner (Airfried) Chicken Dinner!!
@rinrinrin
Very nice, I’ve always wanted winner winner air fried chicken dinner. You’ll have to let me know how that taste lol.
Here’s my reveal click me
@mbersiam it’s not even a rickroll! Safe to click, everyone.
@mbersiam
no
@ybmuG your loss
I felt pretty special getting one, but I guess getting a Cavelier Air this IRK rotation was not as rare as others. However, I’m not complaining!! Thanks Meh for this! Hopefully I’ll get the Maverick one day as well… fingers crossed!*
1x Maverick Air
1x Smart Watch Wannabe
1x Stretch Chair Cover
1x Sports Bra
1x IRK bag
My April 15h bag arrived. No regrets on this one!
1 orange IRK bag
1 AC Wall USB phone charger
1 pair of wireless earbuds
2 golden toothbrush coins
1 Cuisinart Blender
This IRK is EXCELLENT!
Everything in this bag is great but I have to wonder about these toothbrush coins (pictures below).
While they certainly look neat, what am I supposed to do with them? Are they meant for exchanging out for a new toothbrush at Meh, are they pieces of an ancient Aztec treasure chest, or are they simply just something neat to look at? Comment if anyone knows about these or better yet someone from the Mediocre team could comment. Thanks.
@Rueki bury it and send a kid on a treasure hunt
@mbersiam @Rueki HODL! You’re in on the ICO of a new crypto currency, Brushcoin!
KuoH
@Rueki Some further info on these coins. On both sides of the coins read “Schrödinger’s Toothbrush Club”. We then have “In meh, we brush” on the toothbrush side but on the IRK bag side it says “In meh, We Regret”. We also have a member number of 04538 on the first coin and 04105 on the 2nd. Finally we have a quote from the Latin Epic poem The Aeneid along the side of the coin, “Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.” which translates to “Perhaps it will be pleasing to remember even these things at some time”.
@Rueki It’s a challenge coin.
They’re a ‘thing’ mainly with military and LEO personnel.
(Kinda hoping that I get one!)
@Rueki
https://meh.com/forum/topics/schroedingers-toothbrush-club-souvenir-kit
Nicest IRK in a long time. Thanks Meh!
Miko Ibuki air purifier
IRK toothbrush coin
Clawz clogs
2 chargers
I have no idea how to post a photo from my iPhone…hence no photo
@dagirlgenius turn to landscape, click on the mountain and sun icon and upload.
I’ve been wanting a HR monitor for jogging since my headphones that did the same stopped working. The watch was a return and upon charging does not seem to track HR well…we will see
Always love the Clawz, they make great “gifts”
And I’ve been hoping for a Cavalier device for awhile! I didn’t realize there were two models. The Air will fit nicely by my bed.
Thanks meh…my only regret was dealing with the Cavalier app
@tofarber We almost had IRK Twins except I got an AC wall charger instead of the eye-phone charging case!
Yippee! Thanks, Meh. An amazing IRK.
1- Cuisinart pan with a dent (the Meh touch) and lid
1- Cuisinart pot with lid
1- Orange Class size M4/S6
4 - TrackR Pixels
1 - jar Dermalactives eye cream
1- purple IRK bag
I can actually use the pots on my induction stove. So not a giveaway. Woo-hoo!
@DTominator that dent will buff right out
I don’t have a photo, but I got:
3 Pixel TrackR’s
Makeup brush
Working Roomba 805 with battery & extra filter!
Purple IRK bag
I guess this makes up for 7-8 crappy IRK’s in a row
Thanks Meh.
socks
oreck air purifier
cooling towel
bungee charging cable
orange irk bag - needs to be oranger to match my coat
I got
Disappointment, huzzah!
Already ordered the replacement lid from Cuisinart for $23. Hopefully this machine will make my kids some tasty ice cream soon.
I was slightly terrified but excited by a long box on my porch.
@sillyheathen aaaand…?
@cbilyak sorry. We were playing attack. Now I’m putting kids to bed.
@sillyheathen
/giphy we’re waiting
/giphy I am le tired
@IndifferentDude in the morning!
@sillyheathen … inquiring minds gotta know… What’s in the Box!!!
@Koolhandjoe but it’s so much fun keeping y’all in suspense!
I PROMISE I will upload the photos when I get home from buying plants.
@Koolhandjoe @sillyheathen
/giphy tapping fingers waiting
@IndifferentDude @Koolhandjoe you probably wish you were still waiting.
/giphy not worth the wait
@sillyheathen I love your fun front door!
So I hope you’re all ready for a ton of disappointment since it’s now been built up for far too long!
This was a rollercoaster of micro proportions. I went from excitement to sadness to glee to sorrow. First was the purple bag.
Then pads and belt for a tens unit that I actually got in a previous IRK
Two chair covers that I’m going to sew together for a massive cushion I have been using as a dog bed.
two trackers
not pictured is a black pj set in black.
I got super excited when I saw the steam mop box because I have one and I love it and I need something to clean the floor in the murder shed.
excitement turned to ash in my mouth when I opened the box.
Then I looked a little closer and saw that it was just the housing that was cracked so I said fuck it and plugged it in. What’s the worst that could happen? Electrocution?
Et voila! Now it will be much easier to remove the DNA evidence in the shed! Thanks meh. No KoolHandJoe creation but still a box of meh that I will make work. Also I said fuck it and bought the Wendigo from Joe because I need someone to keep me company and it’s absolutely fabulous.
Thanks Meh!
@sillyheathen @carl669 will be jealous!
@sillyheathen That wendigo is so freakin cool! I stared at it a while but we’re moving so basically can only afford IRKS for the moment. Awesome purchase dude!
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
@Sneakertree I’m super excited. I’m about to reno the shed a bit. I need more workable counter space and a mobile metal table for my kiln. Perfect opportunity to make a special spot for Wendi!
@mediocrebot thank you for not bringing up the devil vermin!
@sillyheathen @Sneakertree
You have a kiln so jealous, what sorts of things do you make? I absolutely love pottery stuff. Very nice steam mop, are they really worth it? I have wood and tile floors and am always looking for an easy way to clean them.
@sillyheathen @Sneakertree So you cremate the bodies in your murder shed? That is smart thinking. Do you dispose of the ash by making soap or using it in your garden? Actually I just read you can make white glass out of cremation ash. I guess your hobby (hum… both of them) is practical too.
/giphy it wasn’t me
@Kidsandliz @Sneakertree
@sillyheathen @Sneakertree Yeah… just a coincidence that you use so much white glass… Evidence is even on this page. And beautiful evidence it is (all pun intended
).
@Kidsandliz @Sneakertree I’m not sure what you’re talking about…
/giphy run away!
I only have a small one. I love glass and ceramics. I’m saving for a slightly larger one and eventually when I build my proper shop, I’ll have 220 and get a large one so I can comb pieces and slump or drape larger pieces. I also potentially want a furnace to do blowing. But that’s a long way out.
I made this at my mom’s when I was in New Orleans recently. So much fun.
@sillyheathen Oh, that’s beautiful! I’ve always wanted to try working with glass … someday!
@Kyeh
This is what it was before I cut the pieces and fired it!
@Kyeh
First fire
@sillyheathen That’s really pretty!!!
@sillyheathen so pretty
@sillyheathen
It turned out so cool. I love the way it cures at the the top. Did you make the orb too? I have have an obsession with glass to and would love to work take classes one day. If you sell your stuff somewhere let us know so we can check it out.
@sillyheathen You said you made it at your mom’s? Is she a glass artist too?
@Kyeh we’re like the horse of a different color from the wizard of oz. We use all sorts of mediums to get our creative energy out. Glass, clay, tape, paint, plants, wood, food. Name it and we’ll try to make something expressive out of it.
@sillyheathen
But is your mother an artist too?
I.e., is that you and her “we,” or the royal “we”?
@Kyeh
yes. It is in the DNA. or the water. Or both. Or it’s in the DNA because of the water? Cause there are a lot of yaya’s in south Louisiana!
@sillyheathen Fun! You’ll have to give us lots more pictures of what you make!
I received a surprise Sunday morning IRK! Last status was on Saturday night saying it was ‘pending’, and the package was a good couple hundred miles away. But here it was this morning! Got me:
(Curious tubby wanna-be black cat was not included)
I’m thoroughly whelmed. Thanks again Meh!
@psbales WE GOT THE EXACT SAME REGRETS. I feel bad for both of us!
@dougolas IRK twins!!
@dougolas @psbales I hope you let some friends try those Clawz. I got a pair a couple months ago and am wearing them right now. Surprisingly comfortable on my particular feet. The pair I got is a W7 (M6) and I usually wear a woman’s 7 1/2 regular width. I wore them for Mother’s Day because DIL, grandson and grandson’s SO were coming for lunch. I had a matching orange fleece shirt, so made for an amusing ensemble. My guests were definitely amused.
I’m betting you can find someone for whom they fit well, and who has a weird enough sense of humor to appreciate them.
@dougolas @psbales @romellex my girlfriend loves the clawz…people she meets tend to love them as well (all in I’ve probably purchased around 50 pairs, not including IRKs) because they have turned into delightfully whimsical surprise “you like them? Would you like a pair?” gifts. As my cousin said, upon receiving her pair, “ain’t no laws when you’re wearing clawz.” And to think, I ordered the first pair for my other half as a joke, but she thought they were the most comfortable things ever. She’s in medical school and loves the reactions there as well.
I got my IRK today too Sunday delivery and it is exactly the same as @psbales just above me
@futurian IRK triplets!!
I just got mine and it is the same as @dsbales and @futurian and @dougolas. I feel the same regret that they do…
@Zott IRK quadruplets!!
Quintuplets!
Very much same irk! Compete satisfaction with my teapot. Claws are size w6. Can anyone trade for w7?
@rectorbri IRK sextuplets!!
@rectorbri
Add one more! I got the exect same kit. Even the pink chargers and size 6 claws.
1 - Incase MacBook cover
1 - M4W6 orange Clawz
1 - USB wall charger
1 - Small Ionic coffee pot
2 - Meh branded tooth brushes
1 - Purple IRK bag
5 - Bags Genuine Texas Air
Thank Meh!
I got mine yesterday. It’s almost same as @dsbales, @futurian, @dougolas, @galewarning and @rectorbri.
By almost I mean we got a makeup brush instead of the shoes.
List
1 (pack of) macbook hardshell (Windows home)
2 (piece) Ionic Coffee pot (lid and pot)
3 (empty pocket) purple meh bag
4 (Quantity) Tzumi pink micro charger
lots (bristle) makeup brush
@sasantosh Now I am a little worried. My April 28 IRK will arrive tomorrow, and I’m afraid it will be from this same batch.
@Trillian Well I believe few people get a preferred treatment rest of us get whatever is left around.
@Trillian Hence the regret portion of the IRK…
