Cinoclav's Field of 32 Day 12
14After five years worth of comments supporting both brands, we finally know which one is the favorite. You really can’t go wrong with either Contigo or Bubba. Both quality brands from companies that stand behind their products. Strangely enough, Contigo offers a wider variety of products so one would think that would make it attractive to more mehtizens. But we’re simple folk here and simple folk just prefer things named Bubba. Contigo went down 27 to 15 but don’t feel bad if you voted for them, they’re still one of the best out there.
I don’t even know what to say about today’s items. They both have such an enigma about them. No item in the history of meh had an endless string of requests for it more than PopSockets. Granted, those requests came from the same two people. And no other item in the last five years skyrocketed to fame and fell back to Earth as quickly as Fidget Spinners. In typical meh fashion they were cheap and plentiful, albeit a good year after they were popular. Thousands, maybe billions of children had them thrust upon them by people normally too cheap to buy full sized candy bars at Halloween. Yeah yeah, I know some of you did both. Don’t brag. I’ll propose there are three type of people. Those that feel very strongly about one of these, those that are completely torn over which to vote for because they have an eccentric fascination with both products, and those that really don’t give a shit about either. But that last group probably won’t vote anyway so it’s up to the rest of you to move one into the next round. Happy voting and happy Friday!

PopSockets!
@cinoclav popsockets are the greatest product to ever be sold here besides any and all toothbrushes
@cinoclav @reclaimercube and Meh. shirts!
Fidget Spinners!
hmmm…
I’m cheaping out on decision making and voting for both.
If I couldn’t do that, I would, with some real pain, reject pop sockets in favor of fidget spinners.
National insanity toy craze and all. Gotta honor that madness.

SOCK PUPPETS
@f00l But… you’ll see a hell of a lot more PopThings around now. So which one really had the bigger impact in the long run?
@f00l What kind of asshole votes for both?!? That’s what I want to know…
@f00l @shahnm Real jerkoffs. The kind who should be completely ashamed of themselves for running up the numbers on both sides. What gall!
What would we do without you two?
@cinoclav @shahnm
An asshole sans sleep.
@cinoclav @shahnm
Fwiw we had topics requesting both meh pop sockets and fidget Spinners.

Popped there, socket’d that.
@cinoclav @f00l
So, let’s take look, shall we?
So, looks like fidget spinners got spanked if you’re looking at topic activity metrics to make a case for something.
Popped there, socket’d that.
@cinoclav @f00l @legendornothing @shahnm There is something that is “hot” about that gif.
@cinoclav @mike808
Not looking at those factors.
Looking at only my own quite irrational prejudices and preferences.
Just brought up the “topics requesting each” factor as a point of cultural interest.
As for “making a case”: Don’t need to make a case - I already have a case.
/giphy “head case”
@f00l @legendornothing @shahnm Fidget Spinners had a thread but it wasn’t a daily request like the PopFuckits. Hence my comment about the ‘endless string of requests.’
Well of course Popsockets. I do not recall anyone begging for fidget spinners
Go Popsockets!!!

@mfladd @therealjrn Yea! I love George! Missed him on Woot today
@mfladd @tinamarie1974 The forum was crashing and glitchy. He didn’t say much, looking back on the forum.
@mfladd @tinamarie1974
He wears panties too???
@mfladd @therealjrn god I hope not!
Pop sockets!

Hey @deathbynoodlez - If you want bragging rights you’d better grab some friends and start voting!
@cinoclav He didn’t even care about being the goat, you think he cares about bragging rights?
@cinoclav And quit politicking LOL
@therealjrn Funny thing is, I hate PopThings. I just want to see a close contest!
@cinoclav @therealjrn dont gotta be mean
@cinoclav what am i trying to win?
@cinoclav @deathbynoodlez
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@deathbynoodlez Oy. You should drop by more often! Here, you can read all about it at the top: https://meh.com/forum/topics/who-ya-gonna-blame--goatbusters-your-official-cinoclav-blame-thread-
@cinoclav i like winning so im game
I still can’t decide and am reserving my vote at this time.
Umm yeah… gaming the system isn’t going to work for a PopSocket win. Enough with the fake accounts. But hey, this name rings a bell. Now let’s see who said it. Ohhhhh
I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed in you @mike808
@therealjrn oh that was always the hardest line to hear as a kid! When your parents said they were disappointed, it was like they cut you with a knife.
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Man, when my parents cut me with a knife it was like they were disappointed.
@cinoclav @therealjrn
We have a tied 26 to 26 Battle Royale with 30 minutes left!
@mfladd No, no it is not. The official already DQ’d the pop socket team for unsportsmanlike conduct and cheating.
PoP sOcKeTs
@mediocrebot Hot pockets!
@mfladd @therealjrn did that really happen?
/giphy son of a bitch
@mfladd @tinamarie1974 Ask Clavvy, he’ll tell you
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974
@mfladd @therealjrn aawww Jrn, you have a cute little nickname for @cinoclav. Something going on there we should know about?
I kid, I kid!
@mfladd @therealjrn @cinoclav who is responsible?
I think I need to get my ass kicking boots and my whip back out!
@cinoclav @mfladd @tinamarie1974
One of the girl posters called him that last night. He even had a back story for it…but that’s for him to tell.
And psst: it’s TRJ :winkey face:
@cinoclav @mfladd @therealjrn I actually saw the post last night. That was my attempt at humor.
And oh oh oh. Sorry I always thought JRN was your abbreviated name.
/giphy I was wrong
@cinoclav @mfladd @tinamarie1974
…not that there’s anything wrong with that.
@cinoclav @mfladd @tinamarie1974
It is. but Tee Ar Jay sounds more better that Jern. lol
@cinoclav @mfladd @therealjrn
@cinoclav @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Unless you look up TRJ in the Urban Dictionary
“not that there is anything wrong with that”
@cinoclav @mfladd @tinamarie1974 Oh. Em Gee. JRN is just fine
@cinoclav @therealjrn @tinamarie1974
@cinoclav @mfladd @therealjrn well I learned something new today!
/giphy oh my
@cinoclav @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I should of just let you sign your name like that everytime - and privately giggled.
@cinoclav @mfladd @therealjrn so mean!
But wait I am curious now. Is that the precursor to a tossed salad?
/giphy the more you know
New contest will be up at some point in the reasonably near future.
@cinoclav Yes, let us start a new page then, yes?
@therealjrn Coming soon to a forum near you. Probably start off rated G and finish NC17.
Even tho it blew a complete hole in my SE bracket, better fidgets win fairly than to have an asterisk next to the results.
@stolicat Yeah, I’m not running a damn electoral college here. The true popular vote wins my contest!
