I got one!! Who else did too? I have no idea how I found it. Just clicked around a bunch. Only had to start over one time. Can’t wait to read through the actual adventure tomorrow morning.
@jsh139@kyanostiger Ah yes, I see now in my history as well. Must be the batches they will be sent out in. All 4 of the links I found said IRK-1 when I looked.
@denton yup, I died the first 3 paths so assumed that was always the end. Then I got promoted and there it was.
I THINK I did every path, there were a LOT so I might have missed one.
Funny thing is I am sure this was done to get some of us to see all the cool stuff on that other site, but half the time I’d skip looking at the item to get back to the story. So not sure how good of a marketing tactic it was, but wow what a great effort to write all those paths and an excellent story.
Thanks Meh!!
Found one. But then thought I screwed up because it wasn’t in my orders (I was looking on meh, not sidedeal orders. Smh)
/giphy ruddy-theatrical-platypus
@sammydog01 But you didn’t give up, you kept going, not to be dissuaded by the cold grip of death, determined to achieve the goal of spending your toilet paper budget for the month on a mystery bag of all the stuff even Meh has not been able to sell…
yeah, doesn’t sound so victorious after all, does it… me either
@Kidsandliz I still have my roll of TP inside a handy dandy drawstring bag that came with an order of Poo~Pourri. It’s my emergency stash.
Hoping I won’t have to use it since we have a decent supply of what my husband calls Panic Paper, AND still have the warm water bidet meh sold a few years ago at a ridiculously low price.
Nope. Didn’t come across any available for more than a month. Did finally purchase a package for my mechanic’s shop (as detailed elsewhere) recently.
Maybe the TP supples are all stored in some company’s fancy new HQ.
Or in some decommissioned nuclear warhead launch site.
Or in someone’s secret lair.
I don’t have a secret lair tho. Haven’t found a mortgage company that finances those for non-billionaires.
Hey @snapster you going to give us all a roll of toilet paper in this irk? Don’t forget we helped you out several years ago (snicker). See some messages right above this for the context.
@jimmyd103@narfcake Oh my gosh! With opposable thumbs, they’re set to take over civilization. Well, as long as they don’t start playing piano, we should be OK.
@jimmyd103@narfcake We’re doomed! The Covid was just a distraction. Cats with opposable thumbs, playing piano - all the requirements for civilization.
It all makes sense now. We shall become their playthings.
#CovidCatConspiracy
Don’t want it. Swore I would never get caught up in the foolishness. Tonight I was compelled to keep clicking. Finally made it to the end and…oh, what the hell…
/giphy encouraging-versed-bucket
@tim878 I got the G_O_A_T ending on my first run through, then went back to explore other options, so far found the Regretful (several paths to this) Shed (two paths so far) and Novel.
This was fun, and it’s awesome that IRKs are still available (yes, I only bought one) much better than the mad server-crashing rush which typically happens.
I now know that there are secret links in product descriptions that will lead to an IRK. While I want an IRK, I feel these should go to people that care enough to look. Not me. I am feeling very meh right now.
@jst1ofknd Later when you are feeling less meh there may be more left as I’d bet some folks went to bed without even clicking on proceed. There are at least 7 endings (listed further up this thread as people are listing them as they find them) with irks so there might even be some left in the morning.
@jst1ofknd
Get some more extra sleep then, when you can go back to sleep. If you’re basically healthy with no sleep disorder or mood (depression/anxiety) disorder, then you’re just not caught up yet.
This was the easiest one I’ve snagged since I won one in the forums in a contest to rename them from fukobukuro. Still think “Meh-senger bag” was at least on par with Instant Regret Kit! meh.
I expected a pot at the end of the text rainbow and was satisfied. I found other pots, but as requested it’s best to let as many people as possible feel regret.
Well, I now know I could have saved 50¢ with my VMP code, so I’m mildly pissed at myself, but whatever. I’m still super happy until reality hits when my IRK comes!
/image morbid-classy-month
/giphy morbid-classy-month
I came in late (more than an hour) so was surprised to still find them available. I bought one, found another, sounds like there are more - that was much more fun than the F5 panic approach. And I give thanks for the “open link in new tab” option - only had to backtrack a couple steps twice after dying.
/giphy underrated-playful-tongue
@Kidsandliz I went back and wandered some more, I had found 5 despite being killed by the wasps twice, but there were still some paths I hadn’t traveled …
I’m surprised I managed to snag one just a few minutes ago. I’ve never been more amused than now to own parakeets but now I have to try and not play favorites. I’m also giggling at my order number, this may be a very interesting day.
Wow. First time I’ve been able to snag one in several years. What a great little bit of fun in the midst of all this craziness. Thanks errybody!
craven-owlish-dinosaur
Thank you Meh!!! I actually read the story as I went along & was truly entertained! Oh my fuck I SO needed that giggle!!! I was kinda depressed initially when the Meh site looked normal on April Fools, but leave it to Meh to make me work for my entertainment! Giggle I can’t wait to be disappointed and/or excited by my IRK!!! Opening an IRK is always… interesting? Giggle I love y’all, Meh!!!
@sammydog01 Lol! No, you should always buy an irk if you have the opportunity!!! She just probably doesn’t need inflatable fish or other wonderfully cheap stuff.
@willdavi SHE’S BEING THRIFTY! She worked fast food at an amusement park for her money. I don’t want to discourage that. We went through a path this morning and she still said no at the end. I could learn from her.
@Barney@willdavi She finally agreed and used her login and credit card info. It said she already bought one. Maybe the address? Maybe the computer? She had to come home from school so she can’t use a different address.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Side deals has several different something went terribly wrong videos.
The robot one with the shopping cart won’t play on this thread which is a shame. It is great! I put in https:// sidedeal. com/deals /buttered-chicken-tacos and that is how it came up. So try that url without the spaces (when I leave the url intact all I get is a blank space here and no url to click on).
As of right now I found one that is still for sale. Haven’t finished going through the rest of them. A novel ending is still open. As is the goat ending one.
@cmcdurmon Yea! A couple of minutes ago I went through most of the paths and there were, at least (didn’t go through all the paths) two still for sale.
I went through the whole thing, every possible choice. What a great story. Thanks to the writers that put it together. Very creative. As of right now there are still two endings that have IRKs for sale!
@jsh139 Well hopefully some of the people who clicked meh last night and went to bed will be back today to realize what they missed and can get one. Kind of cool that there are still some open. The one thing I miss is we don’t know how many there were, how many sold and thus can figure out how many left.
Just got one also. Went back again and tried to get one to send to my daughter, but they wouldn’t let me order a second one even though it was to another address.
@carl669@TheMeerkat Got one for my daughter in 5th grade. It’s her favorite. Her teacher took a picture to show her hubby the first time she wore it. She’s got a good teacher.
Amazed that they still appear to be in stock… Hoping this remains the model going forward, and least until the bots start crawling every page looking for them…
This was a fun way to spend April Fool’s morning. Thanks for the IRK, HISY’s and I still wish I could have ordered the Air Fryer… speaking of which I’m going to go see if it’ll work now.
@therealjrn I tried It says it’s available but every time I put it in my cart it shows a quantity of zero it will not let me put it in my cart. They have others available but the one that I want says it is but it isn’t. It’s the Secura 1700w
@stuntdriver Oh, bummer. Maybe they sold out or, as you suspect are just using the page. Seems kinda dumb to put the story on pages where you can’t buy the product. Sorry man.
@sammydog01 I just realized after someone said something about goat farming. I found one on my first try and that one was sold out but tried a couple more paths and found one!! Hurray! I thought for sure I’d be too late!
For those still trying to get one - there are 4 different buy irk pages. There is more than one way to get to some of them so maybe around 7 or 8 paths that result in landing on an irk page. Most, but not all, are sold out. Pay attention to the url of the irk page you land on if it is sold out so you can count how many different ones you have landed on and don’t give up too soon.
Still available after midnight. I think this has to be the first time in the history of Woot/Meh that a BOC/IRK was available for sale for this long. Crazy times.
Ok. So it’s not my imagination. I just took the time to actually read the prose and ran into a not yet sold out ending. Came here to make sure it wasn’t Groundhog Day.
@willdavi Actually now that folks are posting about this maybe some who figured they’d missed the boat yesterday will go looking today and finally score one.
@willdavi Looks like the referral at the bottom where it gives the websites people came from led directly to an IRK- probably people coming back after they ordered one. Someone posted the direct link to purchase.
@PooltoyWolf - yep! I mean, I wish I saw progress. But otherwise I expect this to be a “gift from past-me” that I’ll forget about and one day a mysterious package arrives with random stupid goodies.
@Bandrik@PooltoyWolf I’m actually looking forward to forgetting about both this one and the one from today and being like “Oh god, what did Drunk Jami order this time!” and then realizing it’s my irks!
Mine has not only not shipped – it’s disappeared from “My Orders”. Emailed support, but wondering if the whole thing was a joke. I don’t see shipping or reveal threads…
Yessir, I have found three links so far.
@darkzrobe Before anybody asks, it’s in the features:
Please don’t be a jerk; limit yourself to one IRK
Other people want to have fun too
@lichme Correct, I only bought one. But did want to see the other endings.
@darkzrobe @lichme I’d imagine they’ll cancel out extra orders if someone orders more than one just like they have done in the past.
@darkzrobe @lichme lol, pot calling kettle…kettle? Kettle?
@darkzrobe further down we are up to 6. Maybe you have another one or more to add to that list?
@darkzrobe @lichme what are the features?
@darkzrobe @lichme never mind! Figured it out! yay!
it was quite the journey but I did it.
Got one as well

@gwaki Lol, I PAID TOO MUCH!
@gwaki Hahaha
@gwaki dang I forgot
Just saw my model is IRK-1, in case anyone was wondering. I’m guessing there are others.
/giphy mini-thievish-centipede
@jsh139 based on the 4 endings I found, they all say IRK-1, a play on COVID-19?
@jsh139 @TaRDy Nah, all of them in the past have had IRK-somenumber. I’ve had these on previous orders:
IRK-1
IRK-1
IRK-2
IRK-5
IRK-2
@jsh139 @kyanostiger Ah yes, I see now in my history as well. Must be the batches they will be sent out in. All 4 of the links I found said IRK-1 when I looked.
@jsh139 @kyanostiger @TaRDy Maybe because they haven’t sold out of round one yet?
@jsh139 @kyanostiger @TaRDy is that the number sequence from the gauntlet walk in Galaxy Quest?
What a surprise! I was just enjoying the fun story, not expecting a real reward, then BAM! IRK! Good show, Meh.
@denton yup, I died the first 3 paths so assumed that was always the end. Then I got promoted and there it was.
I THINK I did every path, there were a LOT so I might have missed one.

This is my 3rd April fools IRKin a row, and the 4th overall (if you consider the FUKOBUKURO, the cursed bag, in the same realm.) Very excited.
I didn’t die but had to reset password. Then had to captcha and pick out pictures of buses but I still got one thanks meh.
I know I didn’t need this.
/giphy hulking-united-fairy
@narfcake maybe they’ll have TP or hand sanitizer in them!
@narfcake @ybmuG Or TP. Some of us gave them TP in their hour of need several years ago.
I wonder how much TP KaL sent.
@Kidsandliz I still have my roll of TP inside a handy dandy drawstring bag that came with an order of Poo~Pourri. It’s my emergency stash.
Hoping I won’t have to use it since we have a decent supply of what my husband calls Panic Paper, AND still have the warm water bidet meh sold a few years ago at a ridiculously low price.
@LaVikinga @ybmuG I have a roll of happy birthday TP they sent in an IRK or fuku or whatever. I’m saving it for emergencies.
@LaVikinga @sammydog01 both collectible and practical value!
@sammydog01 @ybmuG I’m especially fond of the little drawstring bag it came in. Very convenient to hang from a door knob.
I had to reset my password to a site I didn’t sign up for? wtf
@clonetek use your Meh password!
too late, now I have to change my meh password.

@f00l It’s like buying lottery tickets I think… buying hope for the big
payoffpallet in your driveway@Kidsandliz
Nope. Not like a lottery. I know there will likely be no/little payoff.
It’s more an “I bought a scarce item I didn’t even want or need, because ‘challenge to get it, and this way I win’” compulsion.
IE pure stupidity. But, a mildly entertaining chase.
@f00l So like shopping for toilet paper. Now we know who bought it all
@therealjrn
Nope. Didn’t come across any available for more than a month. Did finally purchase a package for my mechanic’s shop (as detailed elsewhere) recently.
Maybe the TP supples are all stored in some company’s fancy new HQ.
Or in some decommissioned nuclear warhead launch site.
Or in someone’s secret lair.
I don’t have a secret lair tho. Haven’t found a mortgage company that finances those for non-billionaires.
@f00l @therealjrn Maybe we will all get a roll in the irk? Now that would be humorous. Especially since some of us gave them some several years back.
Hey @snapster you going to give us all a roll of toilet paper in this irk? Don’t forget we helped you out several years ago (snicker). See some messages right above this for the context.

Get some more extra sleep then, when you can go back to sleep. If you’re basically healthy with no sleep disorder or mood (depression/anxiety) disorder, then you’re just not caught up yet.
Tho it’s cool not to want one much.

The problem is not a disorder. That is unless spending too much time on the forum counts as a disorder.

I died twice - do I look any different?
Also my better half cautioned me about ordering any more IRKs a couple of days ago.
Maybe I’ll die three times.
I got one, but kind of accidentally. Mine skipped to the end after the first talisman. Kind of disappointed to have missed out on the story!

@talv0002 The thread I went down to buy still has some. I’d bet we might end the day with some that never get purchased.
Got one early this morning and so did my now fiancée.

@BillLehecka
Hey congrats on the engagement!
Looked at it last night and though ‘Aww, no IRKs this year’ and went to sleep. This morning saw the thread, wandered through the story, and shazam!
/giphy profuse-jinxed-gambler
My wife will either be like “Again! Stop it! Stop it!” or there’ll be something she likes in the box (like the last couple of IRKs).
Just got one now. No idea how.

Oh my god. The apocalypse really is upon us.
YAY! Thank you Meh!

@curtise giphy needs a social distancing option
Looks like they’re still available. A few clicks and…
/giphy busy-mossy-square
Consider me one of the many “holy crap didn’t expect to get one this late” haha! I bought a video drone too so enjoy my money meh
Every time I try it just shoots me back to the drone page, what am I doing wrong?
TODAY IS AN APRIL FOOLS MIRACLE!
(I’ve never manged to snag an IRK, or even it’s predecessor!)
/giphy satisfying-enchanting-stone
@neuroticsilence that is so cute!
Never mind I got it only to have forgot my password
I can’t believe I snagged one
@star2236 But you still got it after you redid your password. Right? Because if not likely there are still some on some of the other paths to get one.
Side deals has several different something went terribly wrong videos.
The robot one with the shopping cart won’t play on this thread which is a shame. It is great! I put in https:// sidedeal. com/deals /buttered-chicken-tacos and that is how it came up. So try that url without the spaces (when I leave the url intact all I get is a blank space here and no url to click on).
The other one I found comes up
https://sidedeal.com/buttered-chicken-tacos
There may be more
@Kidsandliz
As of right now I found one that is still for sale. Haven’t finished going through the rest of them. A novel ending is still open. As is the goat ending one.
Based on yesterday’s sales, is it safe to assume everyone here will get an IRK bag filled with charcoal teeth blackener?
PAST NOON and I accidentally got one?! WHAT.
@cmcdurmon Yea! A couple of minutes ago I went through most of the paths and there were, at least (didn’t go through all the paths) two still for sale.
Just got mine
/giphy eaten-predominant-brake
Yay! So excited!
/giphy complex-spurious-knight
@moonhat why no giphy here? sad.
@moonhat
/giphy complex-spurious-knight
@moonhat maybe it was broken earlier …
@moonhat Hmm, giphy has been a bit wonky lately.
@moonhat @therealjrn giphy be capricious
/giphy capricious
test
/giphy help
I went through the whole thing, every possible choice. What a great story. Thanks to the writers that put it together. Very creative. As of right now there are still two endings that have IRKs for sale!
@jsh139 Well hopefully some of the people who clicked meh last night and went to bed will be back today to realize what they missed and can get one. Kind of cool that there are still some open. The one thing I miss is we don’t know how many there were, how many sold and thus can figure out how many left.
@Kidsandliz Maybe they’ll give us some statistics if we ask nicely
@jsh139 @Kidsandliz
Please sir, may we have some statistics?
@gt0163c @Kidsandliz It’s not me that would have them. You gotta goto the big dogs @dave @shawn
/giphy klutzy-obvious-pudding
Took me a bit to find one that was still in stock, but I got one. Woo-hoo!
Just got one also. Went back again and tried to get one to send to my daughter, but they wouldn’t let me order a second one even though it was to another address.
@Felton10 One per account, doesn’t matter the address.
@dzieciom I know-found that out when I tried to order 2nd one.
Just got one!
/giphy utopian-special-pot
Totally didn’t realize it’s April fools but mashed through and got one in stock on the first path.
/giphy keen-dangerous-theory
@dzieciom Went through a few more and see 2 still in stock at least.
One of them is the easiest path, two choices and proceed
For Hocarth.
/buy
@ticklescratch Sorry, I’m not sure what you’re trying to buy. Make sure you’re posting in today’s deal topic.
I love that Mr T is the background picture for this thread…
/giphy lagging-numb-corn
cool I got my firsk IRK or bag of crap or whatever you want to call it ever! thanks for the CYOA that gave me a chance to win!
@wendigee BOC is Woot. You are on meh now. What do you think?
Does this even count for the free IRKs, @ChadP? Still had a lot of fun even if it doesn’t.
Also, bonus Mediocritee shirt, because pandering.
@TheMeerkat love that shirt. people always do a double take when i wear it.
@carl669 @TheMeerkat Got one for my daughter in 5th grade. It’s her favorite. Her teacher took a picture to show her hubby the first time she wore it. She’s got a good teacher.
/giphy uptight-premium-troll
Didn’t die even once, hahaha, love you Zork, remember Zork?
And it shows in my orders, but I never got an email…
@Cerridwyn I got eaten by a grue :*(
@themutilator
Was it good for you?
@Cerridwyn Never got an e-mail either, but it also shows in orders.
@Cerridwyn Better than the bottomless pit…
/giphy textured-warm-afternoon
Looks like this is proof prior IRKs/FUKOs/FUKUs were all scammed by macro/script mongers.
Problem solved! Umblame Meh!
/giphy famous-mortal-beast
I think the goat route is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I’ve read in a while.
@SOUP_TO_GO It was my favorite.
Amazed that they still appear to be in stock… Hoping this remains the model going forward, and least until the bots start crawling every page looking for them…
Wow picked the right path first time. I never thought that there would be any left. It’s my son’s 21st today. Maybe I’ll give the box to him… or not.
This was a fun way to spend April Fool’s morning. Thanks for the IRK, HISY’s and I still wish I could have ordered the Air Fryer… speaking of which I’m going to go see if it’ll work now.
@stuntdriver
What’s stopping you? I think you still can.
@therealjrn I tried It says it’s available but every time I put it in my cart it shows a quantity of zero it will not let me put it in my cart. They have others available but the one that I want says it is but it isn’t. It’s the Secura 1700w
@stuntdriver Oh, bummer. Maybe they sold out or, as you suspect are just using the page. Seems kinda dumb to put the story on pages where you can’t buy the product. Sorry man.
How is it not sold out yet??? Can we all get 2?
/giphy pretty please
@willdavi they asked politely that you only order one and let others have fun…
Plus would you really want to risk ordering two and either having both your orders canceled or getting extremely crappy crap if they catch on to you.
@stuntdriver I was more talking about if this one never sold out. But yeah, everyone should get the chance to get one today.
I got an IRK! And I became a master goat farmer! All in a day’s work.
Seems I was only about 20 minutes too late. Oh well, it was fun anyway
@chellemonkey There’s at least one still out there. Try a different path?
@sammydog01 I just realized after someone said something about goat farming. I found one on my first try and that one was sold out but tried a couple more paths and found one!! Hurray! I thought for sure I’d be too late!
@chienfou mildly inconvenienced everyone with half-assed pranks on 4/1.
@chellemonkey YAY!
And…at 2309 hrs…I got one. Well done Meh. Never have I seen it last this long…
I wonder if the different paths are different selections of
crapirksome products or are they all the same. I didn’t notice my path, unfortunately.This also might be the first time that
Meh/Mediocre Labs/ Mercatalyst didn’t sell out of IRKs.@mike808 Go back and walk them. Be sure to report back please.
For those still trying to get one - there are 4 different buy irk pages. There is more than one way to get to some of them so maybe around 7 or 8 paths that result in landing on an irk page. Most, but not all, are sold out. Pay attention to the url of the irk page you land on if it is sold out so you can count how many different ones you have landed on and don’t give up too soon.
YESSSSSSSS
/giphy uncanny-abject-card
@a13z you got that by the skin of your teeth
May I also add…this is what some people need right now. Something to look forward to… Let the waiting begin.
Still available after midnight. I think this has to be the first time in the history of Woot/Meh that a BOC/IRK was available for sale for this long. Crazy times.
Ok. So it’s not my imagination. I just took the time to actually read the prose and ran into a not yet sold out ending. Came here to make sure it wasn’t Groundhog Day.
No, it’s not Groundhog Day, but it’s still April Fool’s where I live.
HOW IS IT STILL UP???
@willdavi Because it isn’t sold out on all 4 pages?
@Kidsandliz
Oh. Thanks.
/giphy thanks for the smartassery
Oh, I give up. It’s not working. I quit.
Fixed it
@willdavi
/giphy smartass you are welcome
@willdavi Actually now that folks are posting about this maybe some who figured they’d missed the boat yesterday will go looking today and finally score one.
@Kidsandliz I don’t think they could find it. It’s hidden and I think the only way to get there would be the story links. Not sure though
@willdavi Looks like the referral at the bottom where it gives the websites people came from led directly to an IRK- probably people coming back after they ordered one. Someone posted the direct link to purchase.
@sammydog01 get your daughter to cave again. Buy one.
@willdavi She actually got one yesterday- I think it got kicked out first time when she used my laptop. She’s going to hate me.
@sammydog01 she’ll get over it! Yay!!!
/giphy party
It’s sold out now. I’m sad. I had hope that that little guy would hang on for years.
/giphy waiting
Okay - now to wait for shipping information . . . . it will happen before 2021 - right???
@goudaman40 Ha. I was going to ask the same! I was about to report my lack of I.R.K. to the proper authorities.
I too have not seen my irk ship yet. Which is understandable for covid delays to happen.
@Bandrik I think that must be what’s going on. I’m in no hurry, for what it’s worth!
@PooltoyWolf - yep! I mean, I wish I saw progress. But otherwise I expect this to be a “gift from past-me” that I’ll forget about and one day a mysterious package arrives with random stupid goodies.
@Bandrik Sometimes those are the best packages!
@Bandrik @PooltoyWolf I’m actually looking forward to forgetting about both this one and the one from today and being like “Oh god, what did Drunk Jami order this time!” and then realizing it’s my irks!
@Bandrik Update - mine’s shipped and is probably going to arrive sometime this week.
Mine has not only not shipped – it’s disappeared from “My Orders”. Emailed support, but wondering if the whole thing was a joke. I don’t see shipping or reveal threads…
@walarney make sure you are checking your orders at sidedeal sidedeal.com/orders
@Ignorant Gah! I knew that. (But it was weeks ago that I read about other people making the same mistake…) Thanks. (And thanks, Brandon from support.)
