@conandlibrarian Mowing the lawn? I can go through a whole gallon on just that task alone. Help me from going into the kitchen so many times to refill.
Also good for a construction site or any place where you would be away from a water source for a long time.
@conandlibrarian I use a Brita pitcher but it doesn’t hold very much and takes an annoyingly long time to filter, so I’m getting one of these to fill up and keep on the counter for filling the coffee pot, electric kettle and anything else needing filtered water. I’d get one for the fridge too but It’s probably too big for my efficiency-size fridge.
If I buy this today, I will likely over draw my account because it’s been that kind of month. Meh, please sell this again sometime when I have money to spend.
I bought this on a previous sale to actually just keep in the fridge and dispense iced tea. “No drip” apparently means “Drips right after its done dispensing” since the seal keeps some in the spout when it seals off the tank. A replacement from Bubba did the same thing. Skip.
I like that it’s a gallon but I’d like to drink directly from it like a regular thermos. Having to lug around the jug as well as cups is just too much.
@cengland0 Just lift it above your head and open your mouth. It probably won’t get all over the place. At least that’s what I’d tell myself immediately before choking and spluttering on it and cursing up a storm.
As Granny would say, “It’s Hot Toddy Time!”
[A hot toddy is a mixture of a spirit (usually whisky, rum, or brandy), boiling water, and honey (or, in some recipes, sugar). Additional ingredients such as cloves, a lemon slice or cinnamon (in stick or ground form) are often also added. The drink can also be made with tea instead of water.]

@Al_Coholic
Thank you for the incredible perseverance.
Yeah I know Meh hates me. But @Hollboll doesn’t hate me, she sent me Primo Texas Air. And a few other folk better be really nice if they ever wanna see the chocolate of the dreams again.
And I fucked up the quantity in the order above. Or rather, SIRI, who also hates me, fucked it up by recording s “/” when I clearly typed a “-”.
@f00l The “slash commands” page claims that it posts a random image but from what I can tell it’s just trying to post the first result from Google Image Search for that text and for whatever reason it doesn’t work with that particular image/site the image is on. Maybe the image doesn’t actually exist there anymore because I can’t seem to get to it from the Google search either.
Pretty mediocre if you ask me.
/image pretty mediocre
@jonkliao Yeah, I didn’t know either because I never cared enough to bother finding out or paying that much attention. But I tried it for the first time ever and it didn’t work, so I had to go to this page that they mentioned in their last email: https://meh.com/forum/topics/mehdown-slash-commands
Hit the buy button as soon as the page loaded, lol. If money wasn’t so tight this month, I would have probably bought a couple of extra. Nice buy for my last day of VIP.
The next time you sell this, I’d love to see video documentation of the mediocre staff using gallon bubbas to take Beyonce’s gallon-a-day water challenge. Does Irk lifestyle blog?
I was sooo close to clicking the buy button, but then I remembered I hadn’t actually read the Amazon reviews yet. I checked them out and it sounds like a complete piece of shit. Way too many people say it leaks.
I was going to ignore this, had clicked the Meh button a couple of hours ago. Looked again, saw that it was exactly a gallon, realized I could use it at QT to get the absolute most bang for the buck and possibly even make my money back selling drinks to friends at school, bought it.
@mediocrebot I just went ahead and cancelled my one–but I noticed the count on the front page didn’t change. So I suppose if somebody hadn’t been fucking around ordering and cancelling earlier my order for two would have gone through.
But I wanted two, not one, so I guess it’s none for me.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My first paused VMP purchase. I actually set an alarm for this one. This will be perfect for dispensing Scorpion Punch when I make it for parties. Here’s the accompanying sign:
Glad I grabbed these before bed last night. My office moved and they “forgot” about water for the people in the downstairs section. Rather than waste all my breaktime going down a long hall, to the elevator (because gods forbid this place have anything other than emergency stairs that won’t let you out except on the first floor (from the 30th!)) and down 2 other long hallways to get water, I’ll just fill this up in the morning. Considering I was running through the 32 oz carafes in ~2 hours, this seems a wise choice.
@phatmass What made me pause was when I opened it up and the inner lining was plastic. I double checked the leaflet and sure enough “cold beverage only”. Lame because hot liquid dispensement was the reason for the buy (gotta have my coffee hot).

@conandlibrarian I’m with you on that. Might get one anyway…
@robson I think I am going to get one. I can think of some alcoholic applications for it.
@conandlibrarian I was trying to figure out how I might use it too but yeah that sounds good. Also maybe camping? Maybe…
@conandlibrarian Keeping H2O in the car for emergencies on looooong road trips or winter survival along with snacks
@conandlibrarian I use a Brita pitcher but it doesn’t hold very much and takes an annoyingly long time to filter, so I’m getting one of these to fill up and keep on the counter for filling the coffee pot, electric kettle and anything else needing filtered water.

I saw this line out of context -"we’ve sold: ice cubes"
Wouldn’t put it past them.

I bought one of these a while back on MorningSave. It’s actually pretty awesome. Kept my ice water icy all day on the boat in 90+ degree weather.
Looks legit as FCK!
@Stallion you’re missing a letter!

@DrunkCat But the Meh description, and the description on Amazon both say cold AND hot. I’d sue.
