Birthday IRK Reveal
15What the hell? Delivery 3 days from order and on Sunday. So out of character! I expect much worse than this.
• Brown coffee cup - in bubble wrap - seriously, it’s supposed to be broken
• 2 iPhone screen protectors. Nice, but won’t fit any of our phones.
• 1amp charger with cable - very meh
• mud clay mask - my 3rd jar of it. not sure if there’s an alternate use, otherwise it’s probably going into the compost.
Thanks and happy b-day again meh.

Almost twins to the first revealer. The only difference was I only got one box of iPhone screen protectors to deal with. The RED IRK BAG…I LOVE IT. I’m okay with the B-day/Day Zero IRK. I’ve received much worse. Can’t wait until the next meh-a-thon. Thanks Meh. Happy Birthday again!!!
@sunnysideup22 Got exactly the same items. Thought for sure there would be some Trackers and masks.
@tasco I think those are going to show up in the second day IRKs. We will see. Do you think these were pre-boxed…since they shipped so fast?
@sunnysideup22 Would think that they were.
Interesting, I wouldn’t hate another mug, my June irk was pasta so I’m holding off a food pantry trip until this next one shows up sometime in the next few days…my recent IRKs have been homeruns or strikeouts, no middle ground for sure
No Trackrs? No masks?
@DoctorOW None at all
@DoctorOW @bluebeatpete But some bubble wrap-you are moving up in the world.
@DoctorOW I have a good collection of trackrs going. I think they are going to get handed out at Halloween
@Felton10 Oh yeah, one of mine had bubble wrap around a box of the coffee mug, but still had lots of rattling in the box, didn’t dare open it for fear of injury.
@DoctorOW
They’re coming, just wait!!
I got mine Sat.
King size duvet
Irk notepad
Coleman straps
Coleman tent hammer
Beige Irk bag!
Thanks, Meh!!!
@Tadlem43 wait, an Irk notepad? We must see this thing! Or is this something I have missed in other reveals?
@Tadlem43
@Tadlem43 I’m jealous!
@djslack My apologies. I hadn’t opened it when I said that. They appear to be stickers…plastic coated stickers.
COOL!!!
@Tadlem43
@Kyeh Be jealous about something else. lol I thought it was a notepad (I hadn’t opened it). Turns out, they seem to be stickers!
WHOOO HOOO!!
@Tadlem43
I’m still jealous! Only for the stickers.
Not the other stuff.
@Tadlem43 the irk stickers are fantastic!
@djslack @Tadlem43 Stickers are like A MILLION TIMES BETTER than a notepad.
well, this size certainly looks regrettable. I also ordered a dozen RFID card covers, but they do not show as shipped, just the IRK, from the SideDeal site. hmmmm
@digitaljanitor I have the exact same package coming on Thursday. IRK from SideDeal.Com.
@sdenicola
can’t say I wasn’t warned NOT to buy it.
@digitaljanitor @sdenicola You guys know the placeholder thing, right?
@sammydog01 @sdenicola Yeah, but I’m used to them starting from a greater size/wgt then shrinking in shipment. This doesn’t allow for much shrinkage…
@digitaljanitor @sammydog01 @sdenicola I don’t think that I’ve ever had an IRK change from the placeholder 6x4x1 dimension, no matter the actual size delivered.
(I also don’t think I ever had any FedEx SmartPost package deliver on-time either, but that’s another post…)
@digitaljanitor @psbales @sammydog01 @sdenicola Couple of years ago with fedex deliveries, there was always a placeholder weight and size until it got the the hub for the delivery location where it was changed to the actual size and weight. That was always interesting as it gave you a hint as to whether you got something good or not. People used to post the size and weight of their IRKs.
Probably cost more for that feature therefore it was discontinued.
Well this is disappointing but not unexpected. Looks like all these were prepacked ready to ship.
Red bag
glass cover for smartphone
socks for kids (for our granddaughter)
Phone charger
Mud pack (is this a good 74th birthday present for my wife).
Really makes me apprehensive about the 2 IRKs that were shipped yesterday (one to me and one to our daughter).
@Felton10 Mine were a mix of same stuff. Now have 19 more trackR though.
Otherwise no use for any in multiple IRK arrived.
@Felton10 That’s exactly what was was in mine, too, right down to the colors
@geekahedron lucky us?
Two nice pillow cases that will go with my couches great
Two glow in the dark coozies
27 grey trackrs
Made an unboxing video of my IRK haul

@zierde01 just FYI, Meh isn’t just a competitor of Woot, it’s a creation by the OG founder of Woot.
@PHRoG Thank you, I had heard that, but I hadn’t confirmed it, so I didn’t want to say it during my recording. I’m personally very happy that they did choose to start it!
@zierde01 here’s a pretty solid source on it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2014/07/10/missing-the-witty-daily-deals-sites-of-yore-woots-founder-is-back-with-meh-com/
@PHRoG Thank you for the reference point. I’ll make sure that I give the proper credit to the site in future conversations.
Members only, sidedeal birthday irk
Tan bag, was hoping for the red
3 bands for fitness tracker that I don’t have
6 pairs of women’s peds, I’m not woman
3 pairs children’s socks, I’m not child
Mud face mask
I don’t know what type of members only this is, but don’t want to be in this club!
Thanks, Meh!
1]Irk bag,
20 of those never ending Trackrpixels ( had a suspicion those would be in my irk)
2 glass protectors for iPhone X ,
6 pr. of AMU comfort foot liners ( guess you use in place of socks),
1 pr of utility straps
Very meh-ish!! Thanks
The REGRET is very strong in this one. Like, actual regret this time. I bought some Trackrs the day after thinking they would be fun to play with in rockets or completely random objects. At this point, I feel tribbled, brah.
But, from the jaws of REGRET comes a snazzy brownish-colored IRK bag to carry my glow-in-the-dark can coozies while I strut around looking for my hot pink micro-usb charger as I wear my faux (maybe?) fur stole. Maybe my sexy mf’ing stole-wearing arse shoulda put a some kind of tracker thing on it.
@CrazyJeff
/giphy doh-tribble
Status quo restored. I got a beige bag, wool bag, eye liner, face mask, and prescription glasses.
I’ve been slacking on sharing these…
*Red IRK bag
*Mug (bubblewrapped and intact)
*iPhoneX screen protector
*Clay Face Mask
*Charger
!Meh birthday sidedeal irk]1
My Irk arrived today:
1 pr. Pink size 7 clawz shoes
1 red irk bag
I charcoal teeth whitening powder jar
3 TrackRpixels (surprised not surprised this was in my irk)
1usb wall charger
Very meh - it made me smile but hey it’s meh BUT I can still always dream of a roomba or a fantastic surprise pricey gift in my next irk box right?
Very Meh Irk, and a little bit morbid. RIP: Alex Trebek
@Chrisg958 i actually scored a pair of those Alex Trebek candles before they sold out one time. Thats an awesome one you got there!
POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@Chrisg958 Lovely, a portable chemical warfare unit.
@Chrisg958 @jnicholson0619
Alex’s hand looks weirdly delicate.
I picked this up on morning save. Should have left it there.
1 - Brownish IRK bag
1 - little monsters socks
1 - mud clay mask
1 - tent mallet
1 - meh toothbrush coin
17 - trackers.
I feel SO much better about not getting an IRK on either of the last two sale days.
@melonscoop You can have mine
@Enigma
Hey, my life is hard enough without having to figure out how to get rid of an entire box of junk!
@melonscoop but it’s not an entire box. It’s just a about 4 pieces (not counting about 30 pixel things)
Okay here is the Birthday IRK I finally found and made it to before it was sold out.
But the thing that made my day…
Short, sweet, and simple.
Don’t Worry Be Meh.
My birthday “2-pack: Clamp Champion Pro”
from Sidedeal was delivered today:
Thanks, Meh, for giving us presents for your birthday!
@djslack well technically you bought the irk so they didn’t give it to you ( the birthday presents for mehs birthday) unless you meant giving it to you by what was in your irk
@djslack Got the exact same… Except with charcoal toothpaste. The box is nice through.
Got mine today.
1x beige IRK bag
1x Coleman Mallet with Tent Peg Remover
1x Coleman Cool Zephyr Mini Fan
2x Tzumi Pink USB AC Wall Charger
Disappointed that I didn’t receive any trackers nor masks.
Got my IRK from side deal, so meh, no bag for me
Just got my overwhelming dose of regret!
1x Blood Red IRK Bag
1x USB Wall Charger
1x Mineral Mud Clay Mask
1x Stackable Storage Tray
3x Black Pixel TrackRs
The storage tray is perfect for my ever growing TrackR collection. I’m going to come up with something to do with these someday….
Current TrackR collection sits at 52!
1x Pink
1x purple
12x Gray
38x Black
Oh boy, even more regrettable than yesterday! Not gonna even bother with a pic.
Regret? Infinite. Gonna buy another IRK? Yup.
Well you know what they say about shit flowing down hill. Same can be said about the quality of my last couple IRKs.
Kids socks
smartphone glass screen cover
(Got both in my last IRK)
Bluetooth speaker earphones
2 trackR pixels
macbook case
Toothbrush coin
Oh hum-big time.
From the educational Sidedeals:
Not pictured with red IRK bag, and 16 grey TrackR pixels
@wifeduck Ditto
@cbooboo2 @wifeduck Same but bag was tan.
Fucking yikes. I got my side deal and checkout IRKs today.
Clay mask
Biege Bag
MacBook case
Striv bands
Same exact thing in both.
At least the box was a nice box, so I got that going for me…which is nice.
Probably gonna pass on the IRK moving forward. This was pretty bad.
@studerc My box was crushed almost flat. Good thing I don’t have a cat to be disappointed.
From SideDeal, but not as bad as it could have been.
-RED Irk bag, very large
-jar Vivo per Lei mud mask
-18 gray pixel trackers
Meh. Thanks, though.
Birthday IRK via MorningSave arrived:
-Beige IRK bag
-Utility Straps
-Striiv 3 pack wristbands
-Wireless noise canceling ear buds
-Mud Clay Mask
From SideDeal:
SideDeal
Meh cubed.
2 trackers
candle (the kind with fire - cats nope)
beige IRK bag
two masks
IRK sticker (best thing there)
power bank?
macbook cover
monster socks
The emoji pillow fully captures my mood on this IRK - ironically except for the pillow itself, which is great!!
Why even try to tape the box closed anymore. Every time it seems like it was opened, but this one takes the cake
Really surprised anything arrived at all. No regret on the amazement that there was stuff still in the box even if it was meh!
Mine was purchased on Checkout and arrived today.
Besides the bag there is a screen protector, 3 pack of Halo Mini 2-in-1 LED Lantern & Flashlight, 3 pack of foot thingies, 3 Striiv straps.
@Euniceandrich
Am I missing something, what is checkout? Oh wait, thats the place where the link took me to but wouldn’t let me (me and a bunch of other people that is) buy it. We were all so frustrated!!
@Euniceandrich @Lynnerizer I tried too; looks like we didn’t miss much though.
@Euniceandrich @Kyeh @Lynnerizer Exactly what I was thinking - was frustrated I did not score any of the hidden IRKs, now I think it was us who missed out that really scored.
@cbilyak @Kyeh @Lynnerizer Best thing I learned is that I can see all of my purchases from SideDeal, MorningSave, PastaDrop, Casemates, etc. Sometimes I can’t remember when/where I obtained an item, now I know my entire purchase history is available by logging in to Checkout.
From logging in to Checkout I was reminded of receiving:
A MEDIOCRE SOCK (OR TWO)
QUANTITY: 1 @ $0
SITE mediocre.com
DATE February 18th 2015 9:50pm ET
Seems like it was so long ago.
FedEx dropped mine off
Today!
1x micro usb charger (will fit my wireless headphones )
1x clay face mask (my hubby and I use these to relax)
1x iPhone X glass protector (mom has claimed this)
1x 3pk kids socks. (I have small feet. They fit. )
1x red tote
Seems like a win to me!
Sidedeal VMP IRK sent to my daughter. She got 15 trackers
@Felton10 Looks like some other items too?
@Kyeh Things to the left were just a reflection of her ceiling lights-asked her about that also.
@Felton10 Oh, got it. But what’s the black thing to the right of the stackers?
@Felton10 @Kyeh
Was wondering that same thing, don’t think i’ve seen that in anyone elses box yet.
@Kyeh @Lynnerizer they are some type of charcoal filters for who know what?
@Felton10 @Kyeh @Lynnerizer Popeil air fryer filters maybe?

Got my sidedeal IRK today:
Sidedeal IRK came today! Quite Meh.
Birthday IRK arrived today:
Red IRK bad, neat
iPhone X screen protector, useless
1 amp charger with micro USB cable, useless
Black mud mask, just as useful as the other three
Fuzzy socks that are reversible for some reason
@geekahedron
2 irks today
Sidedeal:
Pot lid stacker thingy
Mud mask jar
Reversible socks
Red irk bag, and
2 pre- xmas wrapped mo
tion controlled ufo hovercraft
Pretty neat actually.
On the other hand meh box was - well - very meh:
Reversible socks
1 amp USB old style charger in pink
Bubble wrap brown coffee cup
Red irk bag
Mud mask jar
Sidedeal wins!
(And still cant figure out how to post pics on this forum from android phone. Seems to be no way.
@kdkdkd turn your phone sideways. The post box will change and you will see various options under the text box. One looks like a pic of a mountain, click on THAT
I got my Side Deal one today. Nothing unique in it, not going to try a photo because our internet is still being extra horrible. I got a set of the lid stackers, one of the pink micro usb chargers, the kids socks, one of the fridge bins, two “Meh” toothbrushes and a red IRK bag. I ain’t mad.
Sidedeal IRK came today and I got nothing different from most of the other very VERY meh IRKs!
1 red IRK bag that i’ll proudly use when needed.
1 jar of charcoal teeth whitening stuff that I don’t think you could pay me to try!
3 grey TrackR pixels, not sure I like that i’m adding to the collection or that I even have a collection in the first place!
1 Tzumi Micro ChargePak in pink that i’ll be able to use IF I don’t buy a new phone next month. YUP, after 11 years i’m finally thinking about giving up tracfone!
1 pair of pink Clawz size 7w that I won’t be spending $150 to put on the needed lift, BUT it’s the perfect time for me to make that DIY planting wall i’ve been suggesting to others for a while now! I might even paint them to prove it’spossible! OH BOY, i’m excited NOW!!
(Of course pics will be provided when i’m done)
Thanks for the giving out VERY MEH party favors, you throw one heck of a party Meh!! It was a fun couple of days!! Happy birthday!
That was a rough one trying to upload, my phone’s memory is almost completely full and it’s causing issues. Photo should be here…
[1]
Or maybe here…
[1]: 
Got my SideDeal yesterday. It was so meh that I forgot to post it:
15 TrackR pixels
Mineral mud clay mask
USB wall charger…I can actually use this
Orange Clawz W6 not my size plus it’s that putrid UF Gator color
Beige IRK bag…(I didn’t get 1 in the bday Irk I posted about earlier, so…yay?)
Between the 2 I still did alright. Thanks again Meh
not sure why it’s not letting me add the photo. It’s not recognizing jpg as an image or some fuckery. I might try later but…meh
Not sure what I expected to be honest. I got a tan IRK bag, a box with watch straps for whatever a Striv is, 2 pairs of kiddo socks, and -32- grey TrackR pixels, all grey. I didn’t bother opening the second package lest I lose them. Perhaps I expected like, 30 fewer trackers but I suppose I have trackers for my trackers in case I do.
@Tiamat114 I got the same, except no watch bands.
Got my Irks. And they lived up to the site name. Worth what I paid since I love the IRK bags. Got a MacBook case on each, a charger in each those strevie bands that no long makes watches or apps or anything else. Gotta be an upcycle idea somewhere in this?! Got my first clawz!! Only one and a smidgen small but love em! 3 meh toothbrushes! And joined the trakr club! And a mud mask in place of the ckawz in 2 of em.
Happy to have gotten to celebrate meh’s birthday. Next year I’ll be better with the scavenging!
Well look at that disappointment! I mean regret!
1 bag
1 cup (i have been giving these away as gifts as I have like five of them)
1 phone charger
1 iPhone x case
1 mud mask… (I was actually just going to buy some for the wife so yay!)
Thanks meh!!
Clawz (almost my size)
2 packs of illuminating diamond dust
2 mini usb charging cables
Beige meh bag
6 Trackr pixels
[1]:
Pink king size duvet set: I might end up using despite only having a full size bed.
Sevylor straps: I have things that sometimes need to be strapped to other things, and I’m sure there are things that it never occurred to me to strap to other things.
Coleman camp mallet: not sure why I’d waste space and weight on a plastic mallet in my camping gear when there are plenty of sticks and rocks, but it can live with my tools in the garage.
One tin of unicutie light up putty with “flashlight”: I already have a case of these from a previous irk. Might actually open this one up and play with it for 20 seconds?
A micro USB powerbank: unbranded super small and cheap feeling. Probably garbage.
Beige/tan IRK bag: I don’t need any more of these, but this is a new color so… Yay?
Cuisinart coffee pot in a dirty ugly box. The pot is unused in original package. I own one of these coffee pots and it is old and great. Now I have a backup.
5 kn95 masks, a pill box, an irk bag, a fancy credit card holder that will charge an apple phone that I do not own and a packet of hair conditioner for my bald head…
Thanks Meh!
Birthday IRK reported for duty today:
Thanks, Meh! Enjoyed the birthday festivities!
Tan irk bag
…had 7 manual toothbrushes 
inside. Very cruel Meh!!
Stackers lid dividers
1 small gold purse
1 large gold purse
1 MacBook Pro…….without a MacBook in it
@jipjip if @felton10 gets the MacBook we know something’s up…
-Black furry scarf
Not too shabby.
-95" room darkening curtain panel
-84" room darkening curtain panel
-hot pink selfie stick
-glow-
in-the-dark coozie
-beige IRK bag
I’d say about 90% useful and 10% regrettable
Thanks, Meh
This is my morning save IRK. I think I still have a side deal coming though I’m sure it’s more trackers and hopefully socks. We shall see soonish.
This made my daughters day. She adores the emoji pillow. Thanks meh!
Side deal irk
Love the toothbrushes and socks. The Englishman likes the trackers so that’s a win. Also LOVE the monster socks. Now I just need orange and blue. Am also intrigued by the mask. I gifted one but now have two. Going to give it a whirl this evening.
Thanks again Meh and happy burfday!
I got my birthday IRK today, which I was able to snag as a hidden IRK in a $5 “masks and tracker” flash sale.
Unfortunately instead of the 5 masks and 5 trackers “advertised”, I actually got 16 trackers! along with a red bag, terry socks, mud mask, 2 toothbrushes, and another pink charging cable. I liked the mud mask the first time I got it, but I still haven’t opened it, so I don’t need 2. The red bag is a new color for me, which is nice, but pretty much everything else will be gifted or donated.
Can’t win them all, but I’ll be back for more! Thanks meh
His & Hers SideDeal IRKs.
Both: Red bags, pink USB chargers.
His: pot/lid stackers, charcoal tooth powder, a dozen trackers.
Hers: socks, clay mask, 2 Meh toothbrushes, two-pack of pre-wrapped UFO toys. One UFO has been tested, and has a dead battery.
So I managed to snag 4 bags from Meh’s Birthday Bag Hunt. Nothing spectacular, just very mediocre.
Big Birthday Bonanza Contents:
2 Red Irk bags
2 Beige Irk bags
3 Turkey Trackers (a.k.a. Trackr Pixels)
2 Mud Clay masks (seriously, stop sending me these things!)
1 Charcoal Teeth Whitening Powder
2 striiv accessory wristbands
1 set of 2 stackers for pots, pans, and lids
3 pairs of ‘Little Monsters’ socks (missing 1 sock from a pair so only 5 socks total)
1 USB Wall Charger
2 USB charging cables with wall chargers
3 HALO lamp/flashlights
2 Meh toothbrushes
2 Porcelain Jewell Mugs (not broken, Yay!)
1 Stackable Storage Organizer Bin
2 UFO drones (one red and one silver)
and an 8pc vented TwisTite Storage Container Set
Ok, so it looks like I’m in the lead for the most bags found. Given the contents, I probably should’ve stopped at one bag. But I am curious, how many bags did everyone else manage to get?
@Rueki
I found three.
@Rueki
3 for me!
Your bags seem to be more to my liking, you’ve done better than most. Jus sayen!
Birthday IRK arrived today. Very similar to others that have already been posted. I received…
Thanks, Meh! It was fun hunting for IRKS during the birthday weekend.
Birthday IRK arrived last week and is very similar to others posted. Contents:
Thanks for the fun meh! Almost always regretful, and you didn’t disappoint this time.
@jimmyd103
I got half of that.
Red bag, a single pair of socks, and a single pair of pink size 6 claws. That was it
@no1 I got the same stuff! My son is heading to college in a month so that storage thing might be useful. But my bag was red.
@sammydog01 i was beginning to think i had a somewhat unique irk. as expected, value > price but mostly stuff i won’t use.
@no1
/giphy we’re both special
Here’s the trash I bought. I suppose the bin is worth $5 + that weird membership fee.
@pepper114 I got this irk too! Without the toothbrush. And only one charger. Lucky you!
@sammydog01
No1 pointed out they spelled “recyclable” wrong on the bin. Too funny!
@pepper114 They ran out of room on the label?
@pepper114 @sammydog01
I got the same one too, no toothbrush, only 1 pink charger! We’re twinning sammydog, we’re twinning!!
Just got my final SideDeal IRK. The educational one.
Which, looking at my orders, I had begun to suspect I somehow screwed up, backed up a page, something…
And I did, apparently. I am now the proud owner of an educational poster on bathroom/ kitchen objects.
Looking at some of these…maybe I came out ahead?
@brainmist you knew someone would do it, and it may be you. That is great!
@brainmist
I think you DID come out ahead! Of course, I bought the poster on purpose during a previous Mehrathon, and I like it.
My Snowpinions Children’s Slippers arrived today…aka hidden birthday IRK.
This one was much better than the last two I received. The very heavy box contained…
and the saving graces…
I definitely have very little regret with this $5 investment. Thanks, Meh!
Got my last one today, it was just a bunch of random trash items. Honestly convinced it wasn’t even worth the $5 in value. After seeing the multiple posts and threads on the decreased experience I’ll probably be signing off of these. Disappointing to see Meh become the trash can for Morningsave junk.
Posting both here because I’m not sure which is which… day zero and bday irks.
Of note - my first set if trackrs
Not sure if the seafoam colored cotton things are hand towels or placemats or something else
@mbersiam dish towel?
@mbersiam @sammydog01
I got those towels a while back, since they’ll match my bathroom better than my kitchen i’ll be using them in there.
Here’s mine, were they shooting for a color theme?:
-Tan IRK bag
-Beige coverlet, King size
-Pinkish beige clutch w/ powerbank
-lipstick (kind of a rose color, doesn’t quite fit the theme)
-silver travel jewelry bag
-beige coin pouch
Late posting. My Birthday Irk
I love seeing all of the photos and regret!
