April Fools-ish SideDeal IRK reveal
17Rather than posting in the sale thread, starting a reveal thread. This one was an IRK with benefits, as the usual usual was supplemented by the unusual unusual. Many thanks to my better half whose Luminara candle predilection allowed me to procure an IRK for a penny.
1 Yeti gray women’s XXL jacket, which I can barely find on the internet except for the men’s version on a certain other breakfast-octopus-inducing site
1 Lucas paisley rolling duffel, looks nice
6 WINPOW 5 packs of CR2016 batteries; my car key dongle will never not beep again
2 Sweet Tooth Fairy light green meltables, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day 2024 (expires Aug 2023; not nearly candy corn level melted but not exactly jostling separately either)
1 UniCutie DIY Pretty Putty set
1 black IRK bag
Not much to regret, unless I eat those meltables… Thanks, meh/SideDeal!

Good score, but why is the IRK bag still branded with meh? Shouldn’t it say “SideDeal” since meh is no longer in the IRK selling business?? Must be meh is getting rid of their excess inventory and the bags will just become another dreaded item like the infamous and inexhaustible supply of TrackR pixels!
they sent me a ceiling fan, a sports bra, charcoal teeth whitening, a small bottle of vitamins and the tote. But they sent me a whole ass ceiling fan. I’m at a loss.
@SamiDeMiami damn…
@SamiDeMiami that’s awesome
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
@SamiDeMiami I know why you are complaining-you don’t have a ceiling.
@SamiDeMiami Is the fan new or used?
I could totally see them doing some remodeling in the office (or some employee’s house) and just sending out the old fan, complete with all the grime that builds on an uncleaned fan…
@SamiDeMiami @xobzoo They once sent us an entire garbage bin full of used t-shirts they bought somewhere… I vaguely remember a photo of meh employees and that bin.
@xobzoo it was new in box. they opened the box to shove the other stuff in it, otherwise it was a whole new ceiling fan.
@Felton10 @SamiDeMiami He probably had one once, but it vaulted.
I got a 7 cup cuisinart food processor. And a bag.
@WordEGirl that’s what I got last time with a men’s lined pullover, a sink faucet and something else. I was thrilled
@brandon my last (or maybe the one before) I got a suitcase set! I find this $50 irk to be kind of fun
Mine is still “Processing”. They must be growing something for it. What is in season this time of year in the Irving Tx area, besides regret?
@phendrick
Or trying to get the rat feces out of it.
@phendrick Pop-up tax return places? Bahia grass? Mud daubers? Giant ravenous grasshoppers?
@phendrick mine also
@yakkoTDI Eww, thanks for the thought.

@yakkoTDI Another series of mediocrebot fails. I gave up after 6 reloads.
@phendrick Giphy is a different drunken bot than Mediocrebot. Please blame the correct bot so the punishments can be doled out.
@yakkoTDI I thought they were like the Borg – all one and the same, sharing

@yakkoTDI At least YT does a better job of reading my mind.
Wait!! That might not be a good thing.
@phendrick @yakkoTDI
Or maybe collecting more to add to it?
We shouldn’t necessarily assume that they’re trying to do good things for us. I mean, that’s usually the case with businesses, but Mediocre is no ordinary business.
My wife, upon seeing an 11 piece cuisinart cookware box on the porch: “Why did you get that?”
Me, frowning, examining the shipping label and haphazard unabomber-esque packing tape job on this potential headache: “Oh, it’s from Sidedeal, I’m regretting already. There’s no telling what’s in there, but one thing’s for certain. It’s not that.”
Lo and behold, it was just that. Plus, a deck of cards, a pink hairdo towel thingy (maybe?), and a pair of shockingly meaty gel-lined fingerless foot-gloves??
Regardless, my wife is frickin’ impressed as shit with this.
My online shopping prowess has been validated.
@DrunkErik Nice score. A matching set of decent pots and pans would be a great Irk for me.
@DrunkErik I got the saucepan from that set in an IRK a few months back. Nice quality. I hope you enjoy!
I got a size M sports bra, just a little too small for me. Size M members only plaid pants. A rose gold “Magnetic energy therapy” bracelet. A Ninja Twisti blender. Some light pink meltables and 3 iPhone X screen protectors.
Oh just found this thread. So I got a ship notice from FedEx for a 1lb item so I’m guessing it’s this. I haven’t done this is inversely 10 years when they still sold Bandoleers of Carrots.
@Boogeyman8076 Got that notification as well. FedEx is saying my package is 6"x4"x1", so I’m gonna wager that a ceiling fan isn’t in the cards
I wonder if we’re gonna have essentially the same thing
@Arctic_Tern @Boogeyman8076 All the IRKs say they are 6x4x1 and 1 lbs, but when it turns up delivered, it will be a different size. Part of what keeps up the mystery. You very well could get a pallet of Christmas Crackers or a few cinder blocks or whatever other fun stuff might turn up.
@Arctic_Tern @Boogeyman8076 @smerk85 So far, no one has received a well-used forklift strapped to a pallet, though.
@Arctic_Tern @Boogeyman8076 @smerk85 @werehatrack No forklift, but in the long lost past of meh several have received a pallet full of stuff.
@Arctic_Tern @Boogeyman8076 @smerk85 I’ll take some cinder pavers for garden redesign.
Mine just shipped. I’m holding out hope for a life-sized cut out of macho man selling slim jims.
@actionPacked
@actionPacked
I always hold out hope for a pallet. I’ve gotten a lot of irks but no pallet yet. It’s kinda like wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first. Hope you get your slim Jim man
@Star2236 thank you. I’m already set up for disappointment, but the heart wants what it wants.
3 IPhone grip/stands
1 TrackR Pixel with dead battery
1 Blue Meh Bag
1 Women’s underware
7 Elderberry drink powder
1 Ice cream maker
Pretty excited about ice cream maker
@luistapia I own a much older version of that ice cream maker. It is worth buying a second freezer can thing so that once you make one quart you can immediately make another.
My small and light box finally arrived and when the refund finally goes thru it will be worth a penny!
1 PainCakes Pak (the only thing I will keep for myself)
1 iPhone case
1 women printed pajamas bottoms only
1 Tuscan Hills cherry blossoms spa & shower set (a female neighbor will be happy)
/giphy worth a penny
@fjp999 forgot to mention the navy blue IRK bag - thanks meh!
contained
Black IRK bag
Fat jammie pants which I can say because I am fat
Cuisinart metal strawa
Phone screen protector for a phone none of us have
Nubreeze drying rack…some damaged pieces, we will see if it works.2
{VMod edit: blacked out personal info.}
@cbilyak
That sucks it’s damaged.
IRK came today.
1 blue meh bag
1 Quirky Vine and Vine Stop
1 tzumi DC Charge Pak with micro-usb cable
1 Olivella Lip Roll-on (made in Italy)
1 Cuisinart 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker. (jazzed about this)
I can actually use all of these.
This is my third IRK and they keep getting better. I hope I get a ceiling fan on the next one although I have no use for one. Like the other IRKs I got.
@rcwbbb It is worth getting another freezer insert for the ice cream maker as then you can make more at once.
Irk received. Looks like they had a lot of ice cream machines to unload.
Besides the ice cream machine I got a blue bag, ombré ink pads, trackR, phone grip, and car charger with cable.
Irk arrived today.
Ladies large puffy hooded jacket. Will donate to the next coat drive
Bright blue irk bag
Kn95 masks
Four iPhone cases
One iPhone glass screen protector

Jealous of your hand massager

And:
![enter image description here][2]
La Parfait Facial LED Mask
This thing is creepy “Micheal Meyer” ish!
Think about what form of wall art @KoolHandJoe could make out of it with the built in different color glow from the eyes and mouth!
Thanks Sidedeal ?

[2]:
@lonocat terrifying!
@lonocat oh I am jelly of the mask!!
@lonocat That lighted mask thing costs $600 on their website.
@EdgarAllenPope or 1/2 that at Wally World, I believe that it’s some of the latest “Quack “ medical stuff
I get mine tomorrow…I’m guessing…phone covers, laptop covers (you know the ones), pixels, and phone grips. The regret is great with me tonight with expectation.
@sunnysideup22 Came home expecting a box on the door step. Nope. Checked my delivery status…something happened to the truck. No delivery today. Until tomorrow…My regret grows strong.
@sunnysideup22 and?
@brandon Sorry I got delayed by a kidney stone
But I was fifty percent. A blue bag, one pixel, one phone grip and a TV pillow, but the pillow was a return and jam packed into the box that was ready to explode by the time it got here. I made my dog stand in the other room when I opened it, since I wasn’t sure what would happen (didn’t know it just a pillow yet.
Greetings from South Florida. Got mine yesterday. It contained a disposable facemask, used foundation in a color 20x darker than my skin, a weird stinky rufflely shirt, 2 iphone x screen protectors, an IRK bag and a humidifier.
A humidifier …
@sudotrin It’s so that you can replace that nasty plebian outdoor humidity with fancy exclusive boutique humidity that will make you the envy of everyone in Bal Harbour.
@sudotrin You in the south part of florida that is currently flooding?
@Kidsandliz @sudotrin It’s not the South Florida floods, it’s that it’s so leaky that it can’t float.
Got mine in today, a ice cream maker here too!
Second IRK in a row hardly worth mentioning. The regretful condition of the box was indicative of the regret that was contained within. I was hoping for an ice cream maker, an air purifier, a hand massager, or maybe even a ceiling fan. Alas, it was not meant to be. I received…
A hardshell MacBook case.
Two sleep sets previously removed from the bags and squished back in (probably returns). Also not my size.
A little coloring set (with something really sticky on the back of the bag).
A USB charge pack.
Navy blue IRK bag.
*Cat offered to pose with the regret to make the picture somewhat interesting.
-spa gift set
-christmas ornament
-combination mug warmer/phone charger with terrible reviews
-blue bag
And the best thing:
DOG TOY! Cora is pleased. As will be Goodwill when I get the rest in a donation bag.
@sammydog01 I got that same “paw sanitizer” dog toy and it was a huge hit. I couldn’t believe how much the dogs loved it.
@kostia She unstuffed it in about fifteen minutes. Those were good minutes.
Not sure how to upload a pic, but I’m among the ice-cream maker, pajama pants club… i feel like they go hand in hand. Also included was a 6-piece stamp set, stamp ink and an irk bag.
Yestersay FedEx pulled into my driveway, sat there for about 3 minutes, then left without leaving a delivery. Package tracking still says “out for delivery” with yesterday’s date.
So now I’m hoping they didn’t lose my IRK or something
I got:
Cyan IRK bag
3XL Black Nicole Miller Jacket
Formfit bathroom scale
(6) pack of metallic silver in
(6) pack of stamps (thank- you, best wishes, etcetera)
Big ol’ “meh” indeed.
blue irk bag
ice cream maker
5 gold phone grips
3 gold ink pads
1 microusb cable and cigarette lighter port adapter.
much nicer than the last one for sure.
Got a Yoga Wheel, a weird pillow (not in a bag or anything, it came as seen in attached photo), and one single airtight container. No IRK bag
This round was certainly something
I got an indoor smokeless electric grill. That’s it! No bag, just a shipping label on the original packaging. Not too shabby, I suppose.
@housepage916 Did you check inside the box?
@sammydog01 you know I didn’t think to. But now that you say it I want to. I didn’t think they’d stuff things inside.
@sammydog01 so inside there was three individually wrapped disposable masks, a pink shower pouf, and a pink hair towel. No bag though lol! But I am sure my pink-loving 11 year old will be happy to adopt the bath accessories
I got the ice cream maker, a pack of 12 canvas’ for art, a manicure kit, and a usb cable with cigarette lighter adaptor. Sadly no bag. I’ll send them an email and ask about it. Not unhappy with the IRK.
Yay it finally showed up
1 king size sheet set
1 pair xl pants
1 hand massager
1ab shocker thing - missing the part that runs it, so it’s just expensive stickers
1 blue irk bag
I got 2 phone kickstands,
an LED mirror,
a cool blue tote bag,
a 6-pack of rubber stamps,
and a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker!!!
HOLY HECK I GOT AN ICE CREAM MAKER. I am so freaking excited. I have the bowl in the freezer, so that I can be ready to make my first ice cream tomorrow. I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY. Thank you Meh! There is zero regret from me. I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM
@sstaver Congratulations!
@sstaver You might want to buy a second bowl so you can make more than one flavor at once. That is what I did some years ago when I actually bought one of these (same brand). Was nice to be able to do that rather than wait to re-freeze it.
@Kidsandliz @sstaver And with two bowls, it becomes possible to make swirls.
A black IRK bag, a nice purse, some pumpkin spice coffee, a enameled cast iron pot set and a new Xbox Elite controller with all the fixins. Thanks, Meh!
@kristoffer Wow!
@kristoffer that controller is nice - I’ve wanted to buy one again as a backup but they haven’t offered it any more times
Not worth bothering to type out the contents.
I got 3 bags of dark chocolate meltables
a box of 50 individually wrapped ear loop masks
3 packs of 4 cuisinart stainless steel straws
a women’s medium tank top
two balloon style hohoho ornaments
a red bag
trying to remember how to post pics
