@cengland0 No they probably ran out but then, because we keep whining, they keep buying more just to keep the whining going. It’s their own cosmic joke. (grin)
@duodec Those are nice, aren’t they? I’ve a friend who has two and I usually commandeer one of them when we sit around the firepit with after dinner cocktails. Warm & snuggly.
There must be a giant warehouse of these 50"x60" blankets somewhere. My local discount closeout store is selling them for $1.00 each. At a buck each, they’re a bargain to buy a bunch to use in the garden when the occasional freeze comes through my area.
@phendrick
At the army-navy surplus store of course. Where else would you find surplussed officers? I gather the stores carrying foreign surplus was a fairly new thing back then, and the prices were reasonable.
@LaVikinga It is a wonderful blanket, and stylish too. More so than the German and Italian wools. The only problem with it is its too small in width to cover our bed (but we have two also).
My Mom would buy the cheap fleece blankets like you describe, pick two of them with compatible or contrasting color and patterns, and knot them together. Cut in perpendicular to the edge about 2.5 - 3 inches, every inch or so, all the way around the blankets. Then knot each corresponding strip on the two blankets together. Double thickness and a reversible pattern. Sometimes she would put a sheet of poly or cotton batting between (with a few stitches at the corners and edges so it wouldn’t bunch up).
Those are surprisingly warm and comfy, and easy to make.
What is the connection between the highlighted website and the ‘bundle up bundle’ on sale?
Better question: who came to meh from the highlighted website? There are so many questions I want to ask you after you have washed your hands with soap for ten or so minutes.
I think the next time Meh puts the candy corn up for sale by itself I’m gonna have to capitulate. How could I not be proud to say I was there during the Great Candy Corn Crisis of 2017, 2018, and 2019?
(Might also help to bundle it with something I actually want. I have enough blankets.)
@JT954 It’s basically chewy, colorful sugar. It has almost no flavor other than sugar. I don’t dislike it per se, but there are so many better options in the candy world.
@JT954 >>Please give me your address, I’ll send you mine free of charge. I have Diabetes II caused by Agent Orange. So, meh is gonna complete what the Pentagon started.
@JT954 It’s about the perfect junk food. It crunches just a little on the first bite and then it just melts away in your mouth. Almost all comfort foods are like this, cookies, chocolate (especially bars), fried grass hoppers, etc.
I still want one of those Energizer Devices dammit the hell. I wish you meh-minimees would have bought as many Jump Starters as you did Candy Corn. And I have my own Cheese, Thank You. I’m gonna Bitch & Whine until someone sells me theirs just to shut my a-hole up. I’m not Precious, so I don’t want any Candy Corn- I Want MY OWN ENERGIZER 11,100 PORTABLE JUMP STARTTTEEEEERRRRR!! Actually, I have one already, But I WANT A $45 ENERGIZER!
I will never not be amused by the casually snuck-in candy corn.
These look like they’d make decent throws to keep in the back of Ye Olde Subaru for chilly passengers in Vermont, but once you add shipping and no choice of color… meh.
@Liga66 tend to agree with you. I liked it the last time I tried but this Brachs version uses gelatin in it so that was a deal breaker for me. Not compatible with my lifestyle. I know they can make it without because I’ve had it before.
I think you people would have sold WAY MORE of these blankets if you:
(a) Omitted the candy corn.
(b) Omitted the candy corn and bundled them with the spinners.
I was on the fence about the spinners, and I don’t really need the blankets, but the two together would have made me pull the trigger. It’s the candy corn that keeps me away. Besides, blankets and light-up spinners make so much more sense for outdoor winter evening events…
@tightwad Only one blanket in my box. Kinda expensive for just one, huh? But the candy corn made it just fine. meh, send me 2 more blankets and I will be a happy girl. I actually love candy corn and am glad they didn’t leave it out!
I received what I ordered today. But what I have received is different from what I ordered. Each box must contain three blankets, but I received one blanket for each box. I ordered three. And I paid $ 54.
I also received only 1 blanket and 1 candy.
I have to say, though, It really was about time something like this happened. Y’all were becoming entirely to reliable for a name like meh. Nothing like the good ol’ days when we could exspect half our purchases to arrive as sharp-edged jigsaw puzzles rattling around in the bottom of overly large boxes.
I could have bought a nice fleece from my local college for less than the 18 dollars i spent on the 1 they sent me at random. I want my other 2 random blankets meh! or a refund!
I love the candy corn… you guys don’t like honey? Send it all to meeeeeee. Also got an email, they are sending out the missing blankets in a day or two and giving a 5 dollar off coupon for the next order.
Got a package with 2 of the 4 missing blankets (I ordered two of the bundles)…we are literally getting warmer to completing the missing shipment. I don’t think I saw the oops email being mentioned…

Ha, ha. You still do have some corn left.
@cengland0 once that’s gone it’s going to be fidget spinners. At least the sun glasses seem to be gone (150k+ pairs later - I lost count).
@cengland0 meh is getting very Corny these days. Personally, I just can’ t eat anymore, nor any anymore!!
@cengland0 No they probably ran out but then, because we keep whining, they keep buying more just to keep the whining going. It’s their own cosmic joke. (grin)
Enough with the damn candy corn!!
@AiraCobra
/giphy candy-corn
@rileyper This candy corn has titanium in it. Not going to break it that way.
What’s with y’all and this damn candy corn? That shit ain’t gon keep me warm all night long, only my toilet seat.
@Junior305 It’ll keep your insides warm.
Mañana - exactly - until mañana
How much Candy Corn did Meh buy???
@Kerig3 /giphy giant warehouse
@mrallen1 FYI, the /giphy needs to start on its own line.
@mrallen1 candy corn: “Best If Sold By January 2018” – you think Meh will have their giant candy corn warehouse empty by then?
@phendrick Maybe if they have another fuku and like everyone who gets it “wins” 10 pounds of it.
I still think they’re going to do a meh-a-thon where one full hour will be candy corn.
Didn’t that used to be called a “woot-off killer”?
@mrallen1 that’s more of a fuko than a fuku isn’t it?
@jhdockett I guess I was thinking of the poisonous puffer fish and the Crap-Formerly-Known-As-A-Bag-of-Crap
Someone wrote candy corn is the Herpes of Halloween candy: Easy to get and hard to get rid of. [Just ask Meh…]
I would have ordered the 3 blankets. I refuse to do so because of the inclusion of the candy corn. Principles.
The ultimate crap deal will be 10 fidget spinners (with valuable batteries) with 10 bags of candy corn and 10 speaker docks for 10 bucks.
C’mon meh!! You can do it!
@mrallen1 You forgot neoprene sleeves. And sunglasses.
I just pulled my nice soft wonderful surplus Swedish officer’s blanket out for the winter. Not tempting me with these. Not even the candy corn…
@duodec Where did you find surplus Swedish officers?
@duodec Those are nice, aren’t they? I’ve a friend who has two and I usually commandeer one of them when we sit around the firepit with after dinner cocktails. Warm & snuggly.

Bundled Saturdays are fun. They will be a real joy when Meh runs out of candy corn.
Replace “blankets” with “pillows” and “candy corn” with “Peanut Butter Cups” and I would have bought this bundle.

@elimanningface Good catch… soo many questions.
/image omgwtfbbq
the word “fugly” springs to mind.
No more polyester blankets for me. They make too much static electricity when the air is dry (like in the winter, when you need a blanket).
@rearly Plus I hate candy corn.

How soft are these blankets?
Same question applies to the candy corn.
P.S. I’ve never tried candy corn.
@JT954 candy corn is easy to chew. Not soft like marshmallow.
It might not be pleasant to chew however. It’s not for everyone.
I’m not a fan.
@JT954 I’ll suggest that it should stay never.
@JT954 It’s basically chewy, colorful sugar. It has almost no flavor other than sugar. I don’t dislike it per se, but there are so many better options in the candy world.
@JT954 >>Please give me your address, I’ll send you mine free of charge. I have Diabetes II caused by Agent Orange. So, meh is gonna complete what the Pentagon started.

@cpierce I’m not sure “chewy” is the right word — I think of it as sugared wax. Gives about as much resistance.
@cpierce It’s honey flavored, isn’t it?
It’s supposed to be over 100 next week here in SoCal.
@narfcake >>I think he was talking about for Us in the US!!
@narfcake
@decoratedwarvet I was thinking about the southern hemisphere when I saw the write up too, but I’m pretty sure southern California is in the US.
I see you trying to sneak in that candy corn, you filthy cornographers.
@cpierce>>Corn-Joliophiles!! That’s Spanish for Corn-Hole-philes!! He, He, He!!
Ugliest blankets ever. And not really cheap either. Before Christmas last year I bought a bunch of Cannon blankets for two pops a pop, all much nicer.
@ponagathos Absolutely correct: definitely the ugliest blankets ever. They’re too ugly even to buy for donation to local homeless shelters.
Is the candy corn in a loose pile like that? Did you sweep it up from the warehouse floor after a few bags split open?
@awk>>Yea, that’s the Ticket!!
just out of curiosity

@awk Ow. That hurts to look at.

I am making a blanket statement - this deal is corny
I will never not be amused by the casually snuck-in candy corn.

Candy corn is delicious. People hate it because they ate Brachs. Theirs is like plastic.
@Liga66 tend to agree with you. I liked it the last time I tried but this Brachs version uses gelatin in it so that was a deal breaker for me. Not compatible with my lifestyle. I know they can make it without because I’ve had it before.
@Liga66 Candy corn is literally the worst

Wheres our meh sleeved blanket?
Why couldn’t this be part of the bundle?
“You’re going to have to apply yourself to some seriously calorie-dense foods if you want to make it until April.”
If I need to add fat, I’m going with chocolate malts.
I would order this but I just hate candy corn too much.
Two days in a row! My wife okayed this one, she doesn’t know about the 50 spinners coming…
So I got my package…but only 1 blanket?
@tightwad
Email CS.
Also, did you at least get the candy corn?
@mflassy I have and I did
@tightwad Me too
@tightwad me too
@tightwad Same. Thank god the candy corn is safe.
@tightwad Me too
@tightwad Only one blanket in my box. Kinda expensive for just one, huh? But the candy corn made it just fine. meh, send me 2 more blankets and I will be a happy girl. I actually love candy corn and am glad they didn’t leave it out!
@tightwad
/giphy counting is hard
giphy, WTF?
@tightwad Yep, me too. Will be emailing CS now (just checked to see if I had lost my mind).
@Nate311 I gots my blankies!
I received what I ordered today. But what I have received is different from what I ordered. Each box must contain three blankets, but I received one blanket for each box. I ordered three. And I paid $ 54.
I also only received one blanket.
@ShelbiLosen me too.
@regnowsin I only got one as well!
I didn’t order any blankets and I didn’t get any. What is wrong with this place?!?
I also only received one blanket in my box (plus one bag of candy corn). Where are my other two blankets?
Same here!!! Only got one blanket and a bag of candy corn!!! Who do I talk to the get the other 2
1 blanket 1 bag of candy… what the heck meh?
I also received only 1 blanket and 1 candy.
I have to say, though, It really was about time something like this happened. Y’all were becoming entirely to reliable for a name like meh. Nothing like the good ol’ days when we could exspect half our purchases to arrive as sharp-edged jigsaw puzzles rattling around in the bottom of overly large boxes.
I could buy 1 blanket for cheaper at walmart and I would get to pick the pattern. I’m pretty sure the deal was for 3 random blankets…
I could have bought a nice fleece from my local college for less than the 18 dollars i spent on the 1 they sent me at random. I want my other 2 random blankets meh! or a refund!
@wendigee
You’re not the only one with this issue.
https://meh.com/forum/topics/the-case-of-the-missing-blankets
@Dave is working on this.
Yes, I should post in here, too.
We’re aware that we sent people one blanket instead of three and are currently working on the solution.
@dave Please don’t also send two additional bags of candy corn.
@dave Do we need to send anything in this particular case?
@volkarion Nope
Only one blanket and one bag of Candy Corn. Where are the other two blankets?
@wlamar
https://meh.com/forum/topics/bundle-up-bundle#59f751260649300e109ad350
@mflassy lol RIGHT ABOVE YOU.
@therealjrn
I know, but this was easier.
My one blanket just arrived. Unfortunately, Meh remembered the candy corn.
I also got one blanket and one bag of completely separate, not melted candy corn. Not sure which is more unsettling.
I love the candy corn… you guys don’t like honey? Send it all to meeeeeee. Also got an email, they are sending out the missing blankets in a day or two and giving a 5 dollar off coupon for the next order.
@wendigee I love honey and candy corn. People are weird.
/giphy no taste
@sammydog01 im that cat and the skittles be my candycorn… send it all to me you monsters
@wendigee That’s me and those chocolate covered Reisen carmels.
When are our missing blankets shipping?
Got 'em. Thank you!
Any news on the missing blankets?
@mbcian We shipped them out as of 11/6, just shoot an email to CS for the tracking info. Should reach you synonym for soon in any case.
An update would be nice as it’s been 2 weeks since the “oops” email. I just hope they aren’t shopping for more candy corn to include…
@SamK We shipped them out as of 11/6, just shoot an email to CS for the tracking info. Should reach you shortly in any case.
When are we getting the missing blankets? If it’s such a hassle, why not just refund us and take the loss?
@arfdawg We shipped them out as of 11/6, just shoot an email to CS for the tracking info. Should reach you soon in any case.
Got a package with 2 of the 4 missing blankets (I ordered two of the bundles)…we are literally getting warmer to completing the missing shipment. I don’t think I saw the oops email being mentioned…
@Mack same here. Maybe different shipments?
@yafonda @mack write in to CS, likely need to send out one more replacement. Solution didn’t account for orders of multiple bundles.
@Mack same issue here
The remaining blankets arrived, thank you.
