Ya know I saw a bacon bowl a few months back at the wally world for like $5 and I said... hmm... I bet meh will have these for like a dollar eventually.... and here we are.
@thismyusername Dollar Tree had 'em for a buck a while back. Of course those didn't come with half an Easy Eggwich or 1/4 of a DeliPRO, so there's that.
@The_Tim I did too until I got an as-seen-on-TV Magic Bullet for xmas to use in my dorm. I thought my Aunt had gotten hooked on QVC again. And then it ended up practically my best friend. And I actually just replaced it a week ago...after using it for at least 9 years. We've been through a lot together.
@brhfl The lean meaty part of bacon is what gets crispy. The fat part shrinks up and melts off--bacon grease. Cheap bacon has more fat and less meat and so it shrinks up more and probably doesn't hold a bowl shape very well. Lean bacon that is mostly meat should stay basically the same shape and just get crispy and delicious.
@SkyyPunk thats 24 bacon bowls - That's right: even though it says four Bacon Bowls in the Features, you're getting EIGHT! Why don't we just tell you that? Wouldn't it HELP sell these things? WHAT is wrong with us? Are we, like, STUPID or what?
Guess I'll snag one. The knife looks useful, I suck at properly slicing bread loaves without mashing them down. Bacon bowl also looks amusing to try once or twice.
@heartny Right there in front of me, thanks! I got so excited that I had to go read reviews and see some videos on YouTube and never made it back to finish the read. Wow, these Bacon Bowls must REALLY Suck! lol
@jmhsrv Now I'm wishing I had ordered 2 sets. I could've sold the other 8 bacon bowls for $1 each and recouped the cost of both sets. Oh well, at least I can drown my sorrow with bacon wrapped breakfast egg sandwiches.
wow i dont know if this meh project lasts another year. last year i got a free vmp and socks. interesting enough items and now......... made for tv products and not the good ones but the absolute shittest ones..? really?
how about the star shower for $20 or something that might be timely or cheap enough to tempt us not pure flea market garbage. what did u guys do buy these for ten cents a piece to make a profit at four dollars
@primrosewater i own the schnittfix 2 Google it and check out the videos it's a pretty ingenious knife. It can be a mandolin or a guided slicing knife.it works well if your right handed. The guide doesn't move to the other side.
@chrisi613 That's why I hesitated as a southpaw. The knife was the only thing which I thought might be useful. But probably would have sliced off my fingertips in very precise cuts.
Sold out.. Oh well guess I'll just have to settle for unmaimed digits.
I bought it for the egg cooker. Probably won't work, but I'll give it a try. And I may actually use the bacon bowls. I've done it before with an upside down muffin tin, but something made for that purpose may work better.
@TheOmni , I bought a set of egg cookers at the Family Dollar several months ago for a dollar more than this bundle. I use it almost every day. I can put together an egg sandwich in less than three minutes, counting clean up time! In a 1200 watt microwave it takes from 45 to 55 seconds depending on what I add to the egg. A little Pam makes it slide right out.
@TheOmni@Freedom1958 I got a set of them eggwich things at CVS earlier this year (I had a 30% off coupon and said "eh, what the heck, it's only $5). They are awesome. Cooks the egg nicely, throw some cheese into the mix and you got a wonderful breakfast sandy in the time it takes to microwave and toast a bagel or bread. I do concur with the Pam - those eggs slide out so much easier.
You can sell all this shit at your yard sale next spring and more than double your money...this is the kind of crap I expect to see more often around here.....bravo!!
You won't believe this, but a few years ago, my sister was complaining about slicing tomatoes so I got her the Deli Pro for xmas as a joke. She says that it actually works pretty well. We were both surprised.
Sold out? So soon? Dammit! My son said that "once again Dad overthought it". True, but I already tried the bacon bowls and they really don't work, so I was trying to figure out what else to use them for. They only thing I came up with was to flip them upside-down and place under furniture legs to slide the furniture over carpet easily. Yeah, I overthought it. π
@thismyusername Well, it didn't work for us. I watched a few youtube video reviews and the only way they worked best was to buy very lean, and very expensive, bacon. But who knows, maybe you'll have better luck? π
@PurplePawprints I set my alarm for 11:58. Got one. Went back to sleep. Sometimes I buy some stupid shit that I regret in the morning but I have also scored on things that have sold out by morning.
299 pesos makes me laugh. Do you know why most infomercials charge $19.99 for a product? It's because the minimum to file a lawsuit is $20. Chew on that!
@ACraigL I plan to give my mom a bundle and my MIL a knife. My mom because we find As-Seen-On-TV crap really funny and my MIL because I'm currently dog sitting and any knife that isn't completely dull will be a welcome addition to this house, even if it can't be used for everything. I don't want to just get her a knife sharpener... Seems rude. I've already given her some kitchen implements to replace ancient, deteriorating items. One or two items a year is as fast as I think I should go. I can pass this off as a partial joke. If nothing else, I'll use it when I'm here.
Got mine yesterday. Gotta say, I'm disappointed that the bacon bowls come in bulk packaging, it really limits the novelty gag gift potential, not having 8 different retail boxes to give to people. If that was in the description, I missed it, but for the price, obviously, can't really complain. It's still perfectly "Meh."

WTF
Egging us on eh meh
@AttyVette ready to pig out on that bacon.
@jsh139 Just in time for Hannukuh!
@AttyVette eggsactly.
Damn tempting for that price! Even though I know I shouldn't.....
@thismyusername
@Stallion damn you, Meh, for selling out so quickly!
calamitous-alluring-cellar
......... But wait...... there's more!
@lichme anytime you see just the end of the cask like that, it's not real. The tap is fed by tubes and the end of the cask is a front!
I'm hungry now.
@thismyusername Like the way your brain works.
@thismyusername Dollar Tree had 'em for a buck a while back. Of course those didn't come with half an Easy Eggwich or 1/4 of a DeliPRO, so there's that.
@thismyusername Can you walk by the Porsche dealership next and do that?
@yakkoTDI what are you looking for a 3.0 liter that doesn't meet emissions either?
I've always considered the "As Seen On TV!" label on a product to be a type of warning label.
@The_Tim me too
@The_Tim I did too until I got an as-seen-on-TV Magic Bullet for xmas to use in my dorm. I thought my Aunt had gotten hooked on QVC again. And then it ended up practically my best friend. And I actually just replaced it a week ago...after using it for at least 9 years. We've been through a lot together.
@alethea87 We had a Magic Bullet that was also given to us by a relative. It lasted a few years or so before the motor burned out.
This yolks on u tonight meh
@AttyVette Egg-zactly!
we should charge you $4 to take this crap off your hands
Save a bundle on this bundle -- still
Meh though
HAHAHAHAHA, finally pay back for all the "as seen on TV" stocking stuffers I have gotten
In for two!
wily-bronze-spoon
@smigit2002 That's a super suave spoon.
I sorta know a Scott and Kristy.
@medz Ha, that's hilarious. The writeup. Bravo.
that knife is way too complicated for me
Cheap at four times the price (but what you'll do with 782 bowls, I dunno).
In for 3, now to find several people who like bacon
@stryper2000 me
@stryper2000 I like bacon
@stryper2000 Unfortunately the bacon bowls only work if you use the real expensive, very lean bacon. π
@Kerig3 As a curious person who has never eaten a bacon, can you explain why? Or is it one of life's great mysteries?
@brhfl The lean meaty part of bacon is what gets crispy. The fat part shrinks up and melts off--bacon grease. Cheap bacon has more fat and less meat and so it shrinks up more and probably doesn't hold a bowl shape very well. Lean bacon that is mostly meat should stay basically the same shape and just get crispy and delicious.
@djslack I feel like I shouldn't have asked, but thank you! Very descriptive!
@brhfl
End the violence!
Just. Eat. It.
@brhfl I've never met someone who is "bacon-curious" before. I'll try not to judge. π
I'm glad someone beat me with the answer.
facetious-musical-buffalo
It was $4.
_(γ)_/Β―
Meh, why not. Ordered two sets of stocking stuffers for the bacon lovers in my life. Or co-workers.
At this price, things on here are usually an insta-buy for me. However, I just don't think I can bite on this. :-/
@PurplePawprints yeah... same here
Bacon bowl possibilities /- hamming it up tonight
waiittttt..... so are we getting 4 or 8 bacon bowls?
what is this sorcery
Oh, fuckit. porky-glass-cinnamon.
In it for the safety fork! sizeable-shocked-flesh--I probably shouldn't do an image search for that.
@mossygreen please do!
But...I saw this on the Internet...ah well. In for three!
@SkyyPunk thats 24 bacon bowls -
That's right: even though it says four Bacon Bowls in the Features, you're getting EIGHT! Why don't we just tell you that? Wouldn't it HELP sell these things? WHAT is wrong with us? Are we, like, STUPID or what?
@jmhsrv I need to stock up on bacon stock
Guess I'll snag one. The knife looks useful, I suck at properly slicing bread loaves without mashing them down. Bacon bowl also looks amusing to try once or twice.
I don't understand Spanish, but I'm buying it just because of the DeliPro video!
KuoH
FINE YOU GOT ME MEH!
dangerous-rested-earthquake
In for two then I read the rest of the write up and saw that each order comes with 8 Bacon Bowls - 16 Bacon Bowls - guess everyones getting one
@jmhsrv Come with 8? Thought it was 4 Bacon Bowls per order?
@Stallion Read the fine print, "But wait! There's more! Order now and we'll DOUBLE your order of Bacon Bowls! That's right: EIGHT Bacon Bowls!"
@heartny Right there in front of me, thanks! I got so excited that I had to go read reviews and see some videos on YouTube and never made it back to finish the read. Wow, these Bacon Bowls must REALLY Suck! lol
@jmhsrv Now I'm wishing I had ordered 2 sets. I could've sold the other 8 bacon bowls for $1 each and recouped the cost of both sets. Oh well, at least I can drown my sorrow with bacon wrapped breakfast egg sandwiches.
KuoH
Who buys this crap?
click
Oh yeah, I do... damnit!
wow i dont know if this meh project lasts another year. last year i got a free vmp and socks. interesting enough items and now......... made for tv products and not the good ones but the absolute shittest ones..? really?
how about the star shower for $20 or something that might be timely or cheap enough to tempt us not pure flea market garbage. what did u guys do buy these for ten cents a piece to make a profit at four dollars
Just made a savory-slippery-addition to my kitchen...
sold!
@username Cool!
Believe it or not I already have that knife and the egg cookers.
@chrisi613 How is the knife?
@chrisi613 I bought it specifically for the knife.
@primrosewater i own the schnittfix 2 Google it and check out the videos it's a pretty ingenious knife. It can be a mandolin or a guided slicing knife.it works well if your right handed. The guide doesn't move to the other side.
@chrisi613 Thank you!
@chrisi613 That's why I hesitated as a southpaw. The knife was the only thing which I thought might be useful. But probably would have sliced off my fingertips in very precise cuts.
Sold out.. Oh well guess I'll just have to settle for unmaimed digits.
I'm a meh sucker, sigh...
waiting-tarnished-line
OK, I fell for it.. now to come up with alternate uses for 8 bacon bowls... hrmmmm..
i really shouldnt have bought one, yet here i am.
Those videos! First, who can't spell bacon? Second, the knife alone was 299 pesos!
Meh, I feel like we're ripping you off by buying this deal.
In before an East coast sellout
I bought it for the egg cooker. Probably won't work, but I'll give it a try. And I may actually use the bacon bowls. I've done it before with an upside down muffin tin, but something made for that purpose may work better.
@TheOmni ,

In a 1200 watt microwave it takes from 45 to 55 seconds depending on what I add to the egg.
A little Pam makes it slide right out.
@Freedom1958 That does sound promising. I can't wait to try it.
@TheOmni @Freedom1958 I got a set of them eggwich things at CVS earlier this year (I had a 30% off coupon and said "eh, what the heck, it's only $5). They are awesome.

I do concur with the Pam - those eggs slide out so much easier.
In for three because, well, I sort of hate the stocking stuffer people in my xmas life. <3 cranky-conniving-glove
"As seen on TV" ... because if you saw this shit on a store shelf first, no one in the right mind would want to buy it.
in for 3.....and I'm done Christmas shopping! Thanks Meh!
neurotic-flippant-tounge
You can sell all this shit at your yard sale next spring and more than double your money...this is the kind of crap I expect to see more often around here.....bravo!!
What did i just buy? oh who cares it was $4
I so don't need these... and yet...
Learned-Legal-Barley
In for the egg brutalizers.
As seen on TV. Not a chance in BACON. But I will say that this awful piece of electronics doesn't burn out when wired to a 5V USB car charger port...
You won't believe this, but a few years ago, my sister was complaining about slicing tomatoes so I got her the Deli Pro for xmas as a joke. She says that it actually works pretty well. We were both surprised.
@medonsw You are right, I don't believe it! :)
conventional-decorative-pelican
Thanks Meh Christmas is done!
Sold out? So soon? Dammit!
My son said that "once again Dad overthought it". True, but I already tried the bacon bowls and they really don't work, so I was trying to figure out what else to use them for. They only thing I came up with was to flip them upside-down and place under furniture legs to slide the furniture over carpet easily.
Yeah, I overthought it. π
@thismyusername Well, it didn't work for us. I watched a few youtube video reviews and the only way they worked best was to buy very lean, and very expensive, bacon. But who knows, maybe you'll have better luck? π
I am amazed how quickly this sold out!
@conandlibrarian Yeah, and now I have a slight bit of regret for not wasting $4 on this crap. Dammit, @TaRDy!
OTOH, $4 buys 3 t-shirts from Goodwill ...
@narfcake I kinda feel like a dodged a bullet coming in to late for this deal. But enjoy all you "fancy" gadget people.
Awww Mannnnnnnn
The Malevolent Order Name Generator has been tamed. I got adaptable-artsy-pandas. Images WILL be posted. Tomorrow.
@OldCatLady A most respectable image. Little bit boring.
Dammit, I really would have gotten this. π€
im sad I would have purchased but my card was locked and you don't use paypal
Sold out? FML
A quick sell out! haha I can't wait to read all the complaints tomorrow from my fellow east-coasters.
@PurplePawprints I say "I'm happy I slept thru that."
@PurplePawprints I set my alarm for 11:58. Got one. Went back to sleep. Sometimes I buy some stupid shit that I regret in the morning but I have also scored on things that have sold out by morning.
Damn you greedy bacon bowl grubbers :(
AW, I fell asleep for a second, as I defiantly would have bought a few of these for presents. You get a lot of stuff for a cheap price.
@wew Please don't get defiant. π
@Kerig3 I intonded that.
@wew "intonded"? β
@Kerig3 To many yammer gnatsis a round here.
Sold out. good thing i don't watch TV or i might think i'm missing something.
299 pesos makes me laugh. Do you know why most infomercials charge $19.99 for a product? It's because the minimum to file a lawsuit is $20. Chew on that!
@mehdaf Uhm...no, it's not.
@PHRoG I believe it is for a jury trial... However let me be clear, I am a proud non lawyer.
My comment stems from the Seventh Amendment $20 clause...
http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2080345_2080344_2080381,00.html
For what it's worth, this is what I learned in public school...
@mehdaf Quite possibly...However, I know I sat in court not 2 months ago defending a $10 suit in small claims. :D
@PHRoG
Aww man! I missed bacon bowls? That's what I get for putting up Christmas decorations at rollover.
@Thumperchick I...uhm...may have a few extra....(see below).
seriously, sold out? sad times for aMeh.ricans...
You had me at "microwave egg brutalizer," but alas, you were already sold out.
Oh crap...ordered 3. WTF am I going to do with 24 bacon bowls?!?! D:
@PHRoG Skeet shooting?
Joking aside, go up a few comments, @Thumperchick may take a few from you. π
Almost as bad as missing a Fuku.
@stoopkid Somehow I doubt that.
@brhfl I am already wondering if someone will be getting a pallet of bacon bowls next Fuku...
@ciabelle That would be very, very cruel. π§
AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH,!! Sold out! Of course!
@doxeelady I really wish meh would do their sales at noon, not midnight
Thats not meh.
That's pure Crap. Worst as seen on tv ever.
lol I love it when meh goes full garage sale
Wait -- did anyone who participated in this sellout actually want this stuff?? Or was it like: $4. Click. Whatever.
@ACraigL I only saw it after the sell out and I'm glad this is the case, because the $4!!!!! effect is apparently strong
@ACraigL
I only bought one so I'll call that a win for self restraint.
@ACraigL I plan to give my mom a bundle and my MIL a knife. My mom because we find As-Seen-On-TV crap really funny and my MIL because I'm currently dog sitting and any knife that isn't completely dull will be a welcome addition to this house, even if it can't be used for everything. I don't want to just get her a knife sharpener... Seems rude. I've already given her some kitchen implements to replace ancient, deteriorating items. One or two items a year is as fast as I think I should go. I can pass this off as a partial joke. If nothing else, I'll use it when I'm here.
i kinda want alcohol related stuff. I need martini glasses and a cocktail shaker (kit).
Damn. I'm sorry I missed it. I've been stocking up on crap for Christmas.
I picked one up. We have workplace $10 limit Thieving White Elephant going on with a theme of "Goofy." I'll pack it with an ice-pack and some bacon.
I have sixteen bacon bowls. Why did I do this...
@OldCatLady because bacon is delicious.
@OldCatLady so you can make sixteen tiny salads
Got mine yesterday. Gotta say, I'm disappointed that the bacon bowls come in bulk packaging, it really limits the novelty gag gift potential, not having 8 different retail boxes to give to people.
