Four bucks with free VMP shipping? Sure, why not. I could use a kitchen scale now and then, and it's fine with me if it's not ultra-precise. In for one "meth" (which is just meh mixed with tea).
Was on the fence, and then I looked at the "Packaging" picture: "Kitchen - Office - Hobby"...and then the light bulb went off. I've been looking and looking for something to do in my spare time, and there it was! WEIGHING! YES! I am going to take up weighing as my new hobby! How much does an acorn weigh? More than 3 packets of sugar...or less? Think of the possibilities! Thank you, Meh! This is simply mehvelous.
This would be a great scale if you are doing Weight Watchers...Unfortunately Munchies and WW are a terrible combination. (oh yeah, my first Meh..I feel so .. well, no change)
In case you were still on the fence about buying one of these beauties, this picture is sure to tip the scales in our favor (terrible pun intended). Straight from my desk, I give you: Heisenberg on scale with @MEHcus puppet overlord.
I was texting my brother to tell him I bought something here and signed up for $5 monthly shipping and tried to tell him I was a sucker but my phone kept trying to change it to "I am a sticker" so I just wanted to let you all know that some of you may be puppets but I, I am a sticker
Enjoyed the color names, got one of each because ... you always need two?
expected brown/green and see through from Meh, since its just mediocre pot and meth. Kinda surprising they went upscale on the colors...try harder to live down to you name on your drug color choices
Now I can't wait for this to arrive so that when my Stanley Utility Drink-Thru Insulated Mugs arrive, I can see how much they weigh empty compared to full. "Boss," I can say when I get to work in the morning, "do you know I've already had [some very large number] grams of coffee so far today?" I'm sure the raise I get will pay for this!
A book I purchased on an impulse at Powel's, "Ratio - The Simple Codes Behind The Craft of Everyday Cooking" by Michael Ruhlman inspired me buy this scale on impulse. Did you know that pound cake and sponge cake are made from exactly the same ingredients? Did you know that using a scale makes your baking that much more accurate when using better flour? I learned somewhere else that finely ground Italian flour makes better pizza dough, but I do not know if this is just hiding the weight ratio or protein content. I bet this mediocre scale will help me half ass this food understanding better.
This is my first Meh purchase. I've been looking for one of these 1g accurate scales to weigh coffee accurately...(no dude, seriously! I don't do buds anymore; only beans but when I did both that was fun...wake and bake!). Hilarious that shipping is more than the thing itself.
So some of the scales are heavier than others. Interesting. I want the scale made from aerogel and carbon nanotubes so it is lighter and more agile (for weighing bananas on the run)
I'd just like to point out that one gram resolution is not good enough for yarn either. Nor, really, fancier baking like macarons. For $4, though, this is a fantastic scale and way better than using volume measurements like some kind of savage.
Also, laughed out loud when I saw "scale for banana."
In for two. I am into hobby robotics. I had a scale for weighing parts, and small robots, but my teenager and his girlfriend are using it in the kitchen for food. Also, it is a few generations older technology. It measures in multiples of 2 grams, and only up to 2 kilograms.
I just opened mine up today. I think it works. I set it up and then it displayed Then it displays four numbers, which I don’t know what they mean yet. I sure hope the 550 isn’t my weight, or else I gained a whole lot this winter. But the scale offered is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m sorry I missed it. Mr. Meh, want to sell that again?

Does it come with the banana?
Sorry, I ate it already.
Meh.
Banana shown for scale.
scale shown for banana?
@chadp That took me a minute, but after I got it I was like "I totally have to acknowledge that I got that" - and here I am!
Just noticed the caption on the picture. Now I just feel silly.
that banana is too ripe for me
The pic demonstrating weighing a piece of fruit is what deterred me. Apparently this could have health benefits? No thanks.
Just tell yourself it's an oddly-shaped Twinkie with mold spots.
Twinkies don't get mold spots.
Color choice...pot or meth. Decisions, decisions. Heisenberg says go meth.
I went with pot. Laughed at the colors. Thanks for making "meh" color choices such hard work and humorous.
I really did laugh out loud when I saw the color choices. I went with the meth color as well.
Making the color choices "cutesy"? A psych professor once said "take any asset to an extreme and it becomes a liability".
The Banana is for scale(s).
I just laughed out loud when I saw the color options are Pot and Meth.
Thanks guys. I was hoping the pot was laced with meth. Not an option.
Sorry stoners, graduations are only 1.0gram. Your 1/8ths are gonna be WAAAYY off.
:(
I +1'd my own comment. My secret shame has been revealed.
Sounds like you to +1 your own comment and then brag about it.
I starred it then took it back when I read your confession. Your vote has now been canceled out.
It's the same as liking your own comment on Facebook. It's a little weird.
(But I do it here too. Shhhh)
@ceagee Balance has been restored!
Love, love, love the amusing colour choices.
Guess you are going to drag the old refurb Dyson out tomorrow..
My first "in for three". One for food weighing in the kitchen, one for mail weighing in the home office, and one for the heck of it.
Oh and bonus - I got my RC helicopter today too!
Responsibly grow your own and responsibly give away the excess, no need for scales.
I don't know what color meth is.
Pot is green, I wanted blue. I hope I picked right.
Meth is blue.
Only the best meth is blue, all pot is green
In for one pot and one meth with a badass order number
goddamnit I work here and I just noticed "Scale for Banana"
I spend almost every second of my work day here, and I just noticed that as well. Even made a joke about it and thought I was clever.
It's perfect like that though
@harrison i'm surprised you missed the 25 minutes of chortling and running back and forth to create *scale for banana.
I don't get it, but I'm old! We used to smoke banana peels, is that it?
@YoDad It's an internet meme that when an object is pictured and the size is unknown, a banana is put in the pic. Hence "banana for scale".
Seriously though, this really isn't very good for weighing drugs.
(or anything else of specific weight.)
You want something that at least weighs to the 0.1g unless you're just weighing food. Or large amounts of drugs.
But I digress. It's $4.
It is perfect for drug fukubukuros though
Go ahead. Piss off your neighbors.
Four bucks with free VMP shipping? Sure, why not. I could use a kitchen scale now and then, and it's fine with me if it's not ultra-precise. In for one "meth" (which is just meh mixed with tea).
At first I thought the banana was a poke at Woot's birthday http://www.woot.com/offers/the-woot-phone-prototype-mockup
No. It's a reddit thing: "Banana for scale". This is a twist on the meme.
@wilfbrim i didn't even know that came from reddit. thanks!
15th consecutive Meh button-click. You almost had me on this one though. Almost.
You can click meh and still buy it. Consume and keep your streak alive
All right, first meh purchase since the kickstarter shirt! I send enough packages to warrant this $4 purchase.
Ok, Meh.. You can stop now you got me. I ordered... You can stop now. :'|
In for 2 'meths'..

이런걸 팔아야지...
지금 팔고 있는건 장난감 같아
Translation: "Whether to sell this sort of thing ... Now I think they sell in toy" -- 방금 방귀를 뀌어. 냄새?
Buying the max for work! And I don't work in a meth lab!
heartbreaking-nearsighted-moose, my order number actually made sense. A nearsighted moose really would be heartbreaking.
The second picture made me laugh out loud. OK, really just quietly to myself but it's still hilarious.
I almost bought one, but then got concerned about how heavy it might be. 11 lbs could hurt if it accidentally fell on your foot.
...11lbs is the max capacity. The scale only weighs .4lbs. Buy 3, drop them all.
OK bought 3 in that royal blue Heisenberg Special color. Love the photo of the banana on the scale. I need a scale that is smaller than a banana.
actual-obscene-finch. I find my order number very serious. Literally, an obscene finch. What could a finch possibly to do be obscene?
Flip you the bird?
In for one meth! Woohoo, my first purchase! Will not be clicking the Meh button today.
How much does one MEH weigh?
Was on the fence, and then I looked at the "Packaging" picture: "Kitchen - Office - Hobby"...and then the light bulb went off. I've been looking and looking for something to do in my spare time, and there it was! WEIGHING! YES! I am going to take up weighing as my new hobby! How much does an acorn weigh? More than 3 packets of sugar...or less? Think of the possibilities! Thank you, Meh! This is simply mehvelous.
Is it considered wrong to weigh my pot on my meth scale?
It just won't be correct, the meth scale isn't set to the right density for pot
This would be a great scale if you are doing Weight Watchers...Unfortunately Munchies and WW are a terrible combination. (oh yeah, my first Meh..I feel so .. well, no change)
In case you were still on the fence about buying one of these beauties, this picture is sure to tip the scales in our favor (terrible pun intended). Straight from my desk, I give you: Heisenberg on scale with @MEHcus puppet overlord.
How come I can't see the picture? This has happened a few times for me. On shawn's vote to get the fu mumble I couldn't see the puppy..
@chellemonkey try again. I don't think you wanted to see it badly enough.
@chellemonkey it should be fixed now, I used a super long URL the first time
I see the pic now. Meh
Does the scale come with the Heisenberg mug?
@boc depends on what you're offering. Bribes accepted. *note the coffee mug is my own property therefor I have the right to bribe it away
@MEHcus I'll offer one bag of crystal meth for the mug.
and scale of course.
Bought 2 of these, one for silver bullion the other for gold. Now all I need is the bullion.
I was texting my brother to tell him I bought something here and signed up for $5 monthly shipping and tried to tell him I was a sucker but my phone kept trying to change it to "I am a sticker" so I just wanted to let you all know that some of you may be puppets but I, I am a sticker

I just bought 2 and I have no idea why. I have a much better digital lab scale already (my husband is a chemist).
I guess I'll just consider it stocking up for the holidays.
I've never been much of an impulse buyer before meh.com. I think it's the VMP.
the hidden truth: employees get free VMP, exchange salary for crappy items we sell. Muahahaha.
also i have to check the site every day, so i can't avoid the temptation

For $4 it's worth it just as a gift for the kids. I bought two.
I have a similar scale that I use for weighing postal letters and small packages. (If you had your shit together you would have mentioned that.)
Got my first meh shipment today. You're using uline for boxes - what's with that? You have excess money to burn?
"Perfect for Food, Coffee, Postage"
This is my first Meh purchase. I've been looking for one of these 1g accurate scales to weigh coffee accurately...(no dude, seriously! I don't do buds anymore; only beans but when I did both that was fun...wake and bake!). Hilarious that shipping is more than the thing itself.
This is my first purchase/meh button combo. I picked up some for use around the house, but I just feel meh about it.
"Weighs up to 11 lbs."
So some of the scales are heavier than others. Interesting. I want the scale made from aerogel and carbon nanotubes so it is lighter and more agile (for weighing bananas on the run)
Great price! I'm interested by moving in 3 weeks. Will my scale be delivered before I move? Or should I enter my new home address?
They should ship out tomorrow and show up within about 2 weeks
Also: mail forwarding is a beautiful thing.
@TheJoeFletch If it gets forwarded, you will have to pay postage plus a fee to get it.
Looks like Meth color is OOS
I'd just like to point out that one gram resolution is not good enough for yarn either. Nor, really, fancier baking like macarons. For $4, though, this is a fantastic scale and way better than using volume measurements like some kind of savage.

The first picture looks like an eye when you see the thumbnail in the main forums page. Kinda creepy.

If the teenagers like it, I will have a spare.
I know most of you have seen this but meh.
Banana for scale!
I fell asleep and forgot to buy one.
Oh well. I can blame my failed diet on you ! That's much better in the long run.
Arrived yesterday, my dreadlocks guy is going to get his ass kicked.
I just opened mine up today. I think it works. I set it up and then it displayed Then it displays four numbers, which I don’t know what they mean yet. I sure hope the 550 isn’t my weight, or else I gained a whole lot this winter. But the scale offered is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m sorry I missed it. Mr. Meh, want to sell that again?
What about when bananas curve in the other direction?
When will Meh sell a scale for those “alt-bananas”?
