FUKO 14 Valentine REVEAL Thread
5Fukos have started to ship. This thread is for you to post photos of what you received, talk about what glorious meh items are in your fuko… and to make everyone who didn’t get one jealous, to see who got the most number of broken items, for all to see what interesting, down right weird and even useful/desirable items meh found in the recesses of their warehouse, dumpster and the other peculiar places that they find some of the stuff they send us.
The shipping thread (to discuss waiting for your fuko to come) is here

Took you long enough.
I got it!
It’s here!!
Special delivery!!!
It’s beautiful!!!

I dunno, I kinda like it when we give the honors to make the reveal thread to the person who gets theirs first. But I don’t have a dog in this particular race.
@Barney
I don’t have a frog in this race either.
I mean, your dog would way beat my frog.
@f00l
Somebody rang?
@FroodyFrog
Are you racing?
Are you gonna win?
@f00l My two legged dog would even beat your frog.
@Barney
Honestly at a loss for words.
@Barney
I believe you.
I lost this race yesterday.
@PlacidPenguin But he’s a happy dog!
@f00l
/giphy loser
@Barney
I lost happily.
And I don’t live in Kansas.
/giphy "better than you"
@Barney The problem is they may not make the reveal thread and post in the shipping thread instead. If people prefer to let the person who gets their stuff create this thread we could ask for this thread to be deleted…
We could probably also pretty much shut up in this thread too (attention: @f00l) so whomever posts their (real) haul first here is near the top of the page and no one has to scroll past a bunch of chit chat to find where the actual reveals are… : )
@f00l
/giphy ouch, that hurt
@Kidsandliz
Yes, mom.
@Barney’s just as bad as me! Go look! Just as bad!
@Kidsandliz I have found that once we tell the first person posting about their fuko that they now have the honor to start a new reveal thread, they seem to be pretty happy.
And I think I’m going to keep posting in this thread.
@f00l Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. You’re Dum.
@Barney Well I guess we can ask @thumperchick to change the name of this thread and the contents of the thread box (or just delete this thread)… and remove the link I asked her to put in the shipping thread if she has already done that…
@Kidsandliz Don’t worry about it. If people want to post their reveals here, they will. If they don’t want to, they won’t. There are no rules about it.
@ Barney said:
Dum de dum dum Dum
(An ass of very little brain)
@Barney
I second this! Any chance we have to keep the reveal thread somewhat more manageable.
@Barney
Doggy happy.
Doggy has arms now.
@KDemo I’m have a terrible time trying not to laugh at work. That is the greatest.
@hems79 - I love the jazz hands!
You work overnights?
@KDemo Yup. Graveyarder here.
@hems79 - I was wondering what kind of job frowned on laughing. I guess graveyard explains it.
@KDemo
Those arms are perhaps the greatest giphy improvement ever.
And I have a sick mind.
@Barney - would you please shoot me an email? thumperchickwastaken at gmail.
@Thumperchick Uh-oh… I didn’t do it! It’s all @f00l’s fault!
@Barney
Kansas? Or something else?
@Barney
Now my package is just going to be sitting somewhere in Kansas until after Presidents Day
Mine is here!
A Box
Some TX Air
A purple bag
A Meh Mug
Some Meh Valentines
A Meh Sticker
A Caddyshack coffee mug
A Napoleon dynamite DVD holder
A Dinosaur
and a Fitbit Charge HR! (looks like it works, though I haven’t synced it yet)

@show_the_maw
Meh mug!?! And it’s purple inside? Brilliant!
@show_the_maw
Assume that’s your son. He’s three? Adorable!
@KDemo Meh mug and it’s purple inside? And a purple bag… -sigh-
@KDemo
@Barney - YOU HAVE FRIENDS HERE!
.
(Shouting, so you can hear me).
@KDemo That is my son! He’s 4 actually. He’s holding up three because we received three packages today. I have about 30 photos I took but the meh uploader thumbnails were a bit small.
@KDemo That’s what worries me. I want my friends to enjoy their Fukos. They earned them. I’m very serious about this.
Edit: Yes, I can hear you now.
@show_the_maw
I really like your helper. Meh should hire him and pay him the big bux.
@f00l I’ve grown rather fond of him. SO much so his back-up will come online in early May (Meh?)
I think there’s some rule in place against hiring out 4 yr olds. I don’t really know how that works though with child actors.
@Barney - But . . . but I heard some rumor that you were partial to purple?
@KDemo What a cruel rumor!
@show_the_maw heir and a spare? Congrats on having an impending thing two. Boy or girl or unknown?
@Kidsandliz Thank you! The impending child will have a royal staff between thy legs. It makes life so much easier to not have and buy so many new clothes.
@show_the_maw Yes hand me downs do save a ton of money : )
@KDemo I so want one of these!!
I can’t figure out this image uploader thing.
@show_the_maw I like the return reason on your fitbit. “Unit was used” haha, looks like it’ll be perfectly fine.
@ConradHilton Yea, I’ve taken it out and put it on the charger. There’s some scuffs on the screen but it looks fine to me!
As I explained to my wife though, if I bought this refurbed from a website I’d expect it to look like new. For $5 though I’ll sure take it!
I found a humongous yet light Meh box on my porch, days earlier than expected to reach Ohio.
It contained:
29 bags TX Air
An awesome purple bag
A Meh Mug
Some Meh Valentines
A Meh Sticker
Another spider mug
A Deter mug
A stained and sticky Marines coaster?
A bubblewrap!
and a slightly sticky Fitbit Charge HR that blinked crazily when plugged in
Speedy cat not included
@zerth When I saw “Deter Mug”, I was thinking of a Human Centipede character.

@woodhouse
@PlacidPenguin
@woodhouse what happened to your poor shruggies arm?
@Ignorant ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
@Ignorant @woodhouse
Don’t tell @Lotsofgoats. He doesn’t like these amputations.
@PlacidPenguin I need to stop skipping arm day at the gym!
@woodhouse
Considering that you write lots of emails, I hope you can play with us from time to time.
You seem like fun.
@PlacidPenguin I will certainly be around
@woodhouse
@woodhouse Don’t believe it.
@woodhouse YOU MONSTER
Got mine. Ordered during the 8AM relaunch. Box updated during shipping to 11x11x11 actual size was 16x12x10. I didn’t weigh it.
Contents:
Thanks meh!
@Barney let me know if you want the bag or mug.
@Ignorant No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s very sweet, but I’m not taking any of you guy’s purple loot!
@Ignorant ANY CHANCE YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR ArmorAll HD Dashcam ?
@communist I’ve already told someone they can have it, if they end up not wanting it then it’s yours for the price of shipping. The tag is correct though and it doesn’t hold a charge.
@Zendriver also received one here:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/fuko-14-valentine-reveal-thread#58ae2d877941000a683a3c5b
Just wish to point out that everyone who got a FUKO and who doesn’t love PURPLE is a Total Luser.
Here’s hoping for a mug, though, it’s a fuko, i should expect disappointment.
8am Fuko 9x9x9 2.2 lbs
Well this is a sad day. My fuko was delivered several days early and the box was open (tape was crunched up, didn’t look cut) and everything that had been in there had fallen out along the way. So I got nothing except an empty box. I would have hoped that somewhere along the line someone would have noticed that it was only barely or not at all shut and taped it shut. Guess not. The ultimate disappointment. Sigh.
@Kidsandliz talk about meh.
Paging @hollboll, Savior of Mehtizens. We beseech thine aid on behalf of our beloved @Kidsandliz. Bestow upon her your favor, or at least another box of useless junk, so that she may wallow in the mediocrity that is Fuko.
/giphy halp
@DaveInSoCal I did email halp. I am presuming because it was a fuko and it sold out likely I am out of luck. Thank you though for paging them… Oh and about that “beloved”… not so sure that is accurate - and no one will believe you anyway as they will think I bribed you with meh socks via the meh exchange. Of course now on future exchange no one will want to get me because I have already gifted my socks. LOL.
@PantHeist Yeah it sort of sucks. Been so long since I had one and now this. Of course I am not the only one who has gotten boxes that have been open. I was just unlucky that mine also had the contents fall out/“vanish”.
Maybe we need to do a fund raiser for them so they have more tape to use on fuko boxes. Ya think? Maybe a gofundme? Maybe it will go viral like the potato salad one did several years ago. Heck instead of asking for donations we could just have a campaign for people to send rolls of package tape to meh with instructions to save it for fuko’s. Sort of like that toilet paper “event” a while back. Hey meh (@hollboll @shawn) have you gone through all that toilet paper yet? LOL.
@Kidsandliz I am very suspicious of all gofundmes.
@PantHeist So send package tape
@Kidsandliz you got a box full of good luck. congrats!
@thismyusername Yeah I guess that is one way to look at it. I have empty boxes around the apartment though. Didn’t need to pay for more… : )
@Kidsandliz
/giphy laughing at your misfortune
@medz
@Kidsandliz at least tell me you got your money back.
@Madboy121 Have not yet gotten a reply from halp yet (contacted customer service Wednesday at lunch time) . Would prefer the fuko but if that isn’t possible then my money back.
Mine just got delivered:
Purple Meh Bag
Texas Air
Get Cozy dog bed I think (can’t open it right now)
Piranha eyewear sunglasses (so useful to put over my normal glasses)
Meh coffee cup
Metawatch Frame - needs a new battery though
Birthday wishes Barbie from the PHB collection
@LionMan Its not a dog bed, its a Get Cozy comforter. Guess that and the coffee cup can be useful at least.
@LionMan All comforters in our house are dog beds.
@SSteve or perhaps the dogs themselves?
just got mine 39 inch Emerson tv
@gr8mick1 Photos or it didn’t happen.
NVM i got the following in a 39 inch Emerson TV box.
Emerson TV Works
Sharper Image Pet Pedometer
Mug Coffee Cup
Meh Stickers x2
Meh Valentines x4
Starwars FIgureine 12"
Leather Jacket size L
Chef Pals Cow
Purple Meh Bag
@gr8mick1 you did well
@Kidsandliz pics of the jacket?
Just received in NY - 13x13" box, 7 lbs:
Family Guy trash can (approx 2 gal?)
Meh coffee cup
Magnetic memo board
Meh bag
Texas air
Chef Pal’s beef thermometer (it moos!)
and…excitement…
Quirky Egg Minder! Holds 14 eggs, goes in fridge and pairs up, telling you if you need more eggs, and if the eggs you already have are good or bad
Totally Meh!
@syms Hmm do I need eggs? Open fridge and look. Are they bad? How long have they been there? Do they float or not. Problem solved. No batteries or whatever needed LOL. I think they sold these here some time way back when.
@Kidsandliz We don’t even have to do that. Neighbor has four chickens in her back yard. Once a week or so she hands us 6 yummy brown or green eggs. (She was surprised at how hard it can be to give away light green eggs.) If we have eggs, they’re fresh.
Pictures people come on.
Please tell us an easy a way to post pictures after taking a picture with an android smartphone? Thanks.
@Felton10 upload to imgur using browser or app, copy link, paste link in image prompt
@Felton10 email photo to yourself, download on computer, upload (drag and drop) in message using the mountain with moon/sun in the sky icon along the bottom of the message box.
@Felton10 rotate your phone sideways and click the image in the text box that looks kinda like a mountain.
@RiotDemon this is the correct answer.
@Ignorant All the answers work, yours is just the most elegant and time saving…
@Felton10 send your picture via email to another member, have them post it for you
@RiotDemon is correct. @Felton10, you’ll get the upload image button if you hold your phone in landscape mode.
Edit: Just make sure to start in landscape mode before you click replay or post or whatever.
Purple bag
Black/purple meh mug
meh sticker
Valentine’s ‘do over’ cards
star wars ruler
Bower and Wilkins headphones (full range but meh bass) refurb w/ small scratch
28.05 oz (yes I weighed it) 1/8" thick steel “GripGo Upsell tablet stand”. Seriously heavy duty, I could kill a herd of moose with this thing. Very sticky, looks usable albeit big and heavy .
@RedOx Da fuq? These Bower and Wilkins refurb headphones retail for >$200 new, > $100 refurb’d. Guess I scored. They are well made, sound good, a bit more lower range would be nice but I can’t really complain.
@RedOx High end headphones improve with use. Generally its recommended to give them 25-50 hours of “burn in” before they will show their full sound. Some suggest a mix of white and pink noise, other say just listen to music but break them in before issuing final judgement. As they burn in more bass will surface and sound quality will improve.
@Raider This sounds like hokum and per my 5 minutes of reading on the internet it may be. It’s apparently been debated for almost 2 decades now and without a way to measure/not being an audiophile I won’t be able to tell if it’s placebo or indeed gets better. It doesn’t really matter to me, they are serviceable and comfortable as hell!
4pm VMP Sale…
overall - pretty happy!
@sweetpqte hope you drink coffee or tea : )
@Kidsandliz Those mugs look too small for a real coffee drinker (should be gallon-sized), and too big for a real tea drinker (should be thimble-sized). Obviously they are intended for Hot Toddy consumption.
@Kidsandliz My husband and I both do
@TAsunder The keep calm one is 11oz, should suffice
@sweetpqte 11oz is a perfect serving size for a small afternoon espresso.
Here we gooooooooooo! The kitties pictured were NOT included.
All said and done: so much meh.
@steelopus
Got mine today! Unfortunately my Meh.com mug broke in transit…
and, though I feel I got a great value, no bluetooth headphones or speakers, or knives, or A/V Receivers, ha! Still pretty happy with my first ever Fuku.
Even got a Star Wars X-Wing Pilot! Plus those “Sorry I missed Valentine’s Day” cards are hilarious…
@ooglek meh forums use Markdown for formatting so you can
Got mine! Got some interesting stuff this time around.
1x Purple Meh bag
1x Meh laptop sticker
1x Valentine excuses
1x Meh coffee mug
1x Spider coffee mug
1x San Diego Chargers dip receptacle (this is super cool considering the Chargers team doesn’t exist anymore).
1x Red Fitbit Charge HR (return label states “USED Give my skin bumps!!”). Let’s hope I don’t get a creepy rash from it, haha.
And, the weird thing…
1x Cryptic CD-ROM, labeled “Fushigi Yuugi Vocal Collection Vol 2”.
When I popped it into iTunes it was recognized, but it won’t play. I’ll research this one further.
Thanks Meh!!!
After giving up on getting the CD to play in my laptop, I put it in a normal CD player and it plays just fine. It’s filled with groovy Japanese show tunes music
@jsh139 Oh man, Fushigi Yuugi? My sister’s friend had a thing for anime, so I ended up watching bits and pieces of it as a kid, and then wanted to connect the pieces so I downloaded and watched it all again recently. Super random!
@smigit2002 that’s cool. I’ve never heard of it. Not a big anime fan but it’s still cool
@jsh139 This one is my favorite.
Will get mine tomorrow. Based on what I have seen so far-a whole lot of nothing-I don’t expect my 2.8 lb box (10X10X10) to contain anything worthwhile. Looks like they had a shit load of mugs they wanted to get rid of.
Looks like this is: Fuku, the Mugging
Or maybe FukO, the Mugging
Got mine a day earlier than expected, in Ohio on a nice April day in February. This is my second Fuko, so I knew what I was in for, and had secured my wife’s forgiveness beforehand (because I sure as hell wasn’t going to get her permission). My box had what I would refer to as “minimalist packing” but thankfully everything appears to have arrived intact. The contents:
The only disappointment I have after seeing other revealed Fukos is that mine didn’t have the Meh sticker, and I’ve kinda been wanting one of those.
@Zendriver Look in the purple bag for the Meh sticker
Arrived this morning. No pics, all the stuff can be seen in above posts:
Meh Bag
Meh Mug
Meh Sticker
Valentine’s Card
Broken Dash Cam
Big Brother Mug
Until next time… Meh
Got my stuff. Not incredible, but fun, so thanks Meh!
Sheet of Valentines Cards (as promised)
Purple sack (wife loves this)
Borked Fitbit Charge. Label claims it doesn’t, ironically. I’ll give it whirl
Cap gun
Meh Sticker
Meh Mug (love it)
Pirana Sunglasses (tortoise frame)
Original Star Wars Collectible Figure (Wedge Antilles)
new fuko, who dis?
@ACraigL I’m pretty sure that box was meant for @capguncowboy
@lichme What’s funny is I got a cap gun last time too. Even tagged him then.
@ACraigL @lichme
/giphy cowboy
Good news! I was able to reset the Charge HR and it looks like it’s charging ok. Will continue testing tomorrow to see if it holds.
Bad news: As advertised, it doesn’t hold a charge for more than a few hours.
On a whim I contacted Fitbit support and explained that it didn’t work. I let them know I tried the reset procedures and updated the firmware. They came back with three questions:
1- Where and when you purchased your Fitbit Charge HR.
2- Confirm your country of residence.
3- If you received it as a gift, please let us know when.
I let them know I got it on Meh.com on 2/15, leaving out the part about it was in a mystery box I purchased. I didn’t expect anything to happen after that.
To my delight, and in truth some puzzlement, I got the following email this morning:
Thank you for coming back to let us know all the information we requested. We love the fact that you received the tracker as a Mother’s day gift. What a beautiful loving gesture! Now, we have great news for you to make your Fitbit smile again.
Your Charge HR is still under our one-year limited warranty, and we would like to provide you with great offers.
No sure how they got to the whole Mother’s Day thing, but whatever. They presented 2 options – any of their new trackers at 30% off, or a straight up replacement for free. I opted for the latter.
So for those that received a broken one, you may have options. I’ll keep folks posted on what happens next.
Order confirmed. New Charge HR on it’s way to me. Thanks Meh! And Fitbit, I guess.
I got a great fuku. First, I got some worthless shaving toy. Alright, fine. Everything else was actually useful, weird for a fuku.
I got the bag, a great meh mug, a pair of leak frogs (I’d been so jealous of those who had some, now I don’t worry about my water heater or sump pump!) and a bluetooth blood pressure cuff (which seems to work, will give to grandma).
The mug really is nice quality, very nice colors.
Thanks, Meh, happy that I managed to get a Fuku this time!
Arrived today in NY
Broken mug (fantastically ironic)
Captian jack army 45 vintage cap gun
Blues brothers mug (not broken thank the lord, would have been a tragedy)
Meh sticker
Lots of confederate air
Avengers travel coffee cup
Valentines day oops appologie cards
And last but not least a dead metawatch 3707 smart watch for iphone 5 with a sticker on the back that says it was printed in 2014 (no charge clip)
Overall pretty proud of the haul. Now I gotta find a toy donation box in manhattan…hmmmm
@asherwitt Check whichever of the city hospitals is closest to you, they’ll probably take it.
I got my 8AM, 13x13x13, and 6-lb Fuku box, which contains:
1 SPORTS CAMS All-Sport HD Camera Goggles
1 Leather Coat
1 Star War Vinyl Pencil Case
1 Purple Meh Bag
1 Meh Mug
1 “The Monkeys at Home” Toy
1 Meh Valentine Card
Thanks, meh.com!
Now I remember what I got from the July 2016 Fuku. For some reason, the motorcycle bags and the leather coat would be a perfect set. Maybe the meh bot thinks that I am a biker.
@DonDonSu or a member of the village people.
meh mug & bag
Big brother is watching you mug
Piranha sunglasses (polarized at least)
a Skol Lager cast metal truck

Happy Belated Valentine’s Day, Meh. This probably ranks in the middle of all fuko/us I’ve ever received so “meh” job!!!
-Meh bag
-“Oops” Valentine’s Day cards
-Meh sticker
-Meh mug
-“Big Brother is Watching You” mug (this will be brought to the office)
-Piranha sunglasses (can’t wear because I need prescription sunglasses, unfortunately)
-FitBit Charge HR, missing the buckle, not sure yet if it actually works (return reason on blue label says “per xeco”???)
-Two-pack of “LeakFrog” water leak detectors, which for some absurd reason goes for $100 online
Overall, less disappointing than I expected for my first fuko ever! Thanks Meh!
P.S. can someone please explain the origin of “Texas air” to me?
@harveydanger The box originates in Texas and has air pouches in it. I’m not sure if there’s more to it than that?
@harveydanger Leak frogs? You win.
@TAsunder That’s disappointing. I guess the fuko did get me, after all.
1 purple meh bag
4 leak frogs
1 dexter mug
1 meh mug (perfect condition)
1 pet pedometer
1 sony wireless RF headphones (return)
1 quirky egg minder
no picture yet will post tonight.
Ladies and gentlemehn, brace for disappointment.
(Dog for scale.)
Bigass box came in the mail today. (Dog for scale.)
Can anybody tell me what the hell this thing even is?
Small sticky BT speaker
USBuddy
There was a heavy little box that turned out to be a tablet holder.
Just what I needed!
The second thing I knew I could count on being excited for came in pieces.
But the first thing I could count on came bounteously! Now I can simulate the sounds of heavy artillery fire for a 3 mile radius!
Leaked image of the Fuko sorting robot at Meh HQ
When the Fuko is just right.
After 2 years of failed attempts, I couldn’t be more mildly dissatisfied! Thanks, Meh!
@Jarf That’s a valet stand. Here’s a similar one.
@TAsunder Cool, thanks for the help. Itll be a good regifting thing to give to my dad
I think it could also make a really solid obstacle with which you could train your dog to do some fun tricks.
@Jarf I’d love to have a valet like that!
Couple of standard items, plus some I haven’t seen in this thread.
meh coffee mug - will get some use.
backpack - meh.
Sharper Image pet pedometer (Pet-o-Meter). NIB, and I have a dog that I walk every day, so I may give it a try.
Sierra Mist / Mountain Dew Santa bottle topper.
Porcelain Hinged Box collection - conservatory with plant insert. Um, ok.
And last, a VERY used Radio Flyer ride-on turtle. This thing is scratched and dirty, and the only reason I took it out of the box is for this photo. Oh, and it kinda stinks.
After many BOCs (including one with a Roomba) and buying from meh since the Kickstarter launch, I have to say this ranks as…mediocre.
I can understand them sending us stuff that was returned to them that they sold like those crapola META watches. But where do they get the rest of this broken shit. Do they put an ad in the paper saying “give us your tired, poor and crap”.
From the looks of what everyone has posted so far-this looks like the worst pile of crap ever send out.
Maybe I’ll get lucky and the mail person will delivery mine to the wrong house.
@Felton10 Send it to my house. My box arrived open and empty. Everyone appears to be getting the purple bag and most are getting the meh mug… That’s not bad. The shine on this bag in some of the photos makes it look like it actually might be made out of something other than that fake fabric shit the red bags are made of. Like maybe real nylon or something not so meh.
@Felton10 Unfortunately I was correct.
Not worth even worth posting pictures of this shit.
I received
A Meh mug
Two X-mas tree ornaments
Purple bag with valentine day forgot cards & sticker.
And the jewel of this fucko (Drum roll please)
An ArmorAll dash board camera that sells for $ 13.49 on amazon new with 4 customer ratings of 1 star each. And mine was a return so you can imagine what a piece of shit it is.
Definitely the worst of my 4 fuckos so far.
@Felton10 So you got exactly what was advertised? What’s the complaint here, I don’t get it.
@Nuurgle I guess I spoiled by 2 of my first 3 fukos.
First one had a child’s humidifier which my daughter sold for $ 35 on ebay and my last one before this had a tablet which does work-although not well. The one is the middle had a META smartwatch which came on but never worked. But I traded the charger for it to another meh head for a meh tee shirt.
So not surprised-just disappointed.
@Felton10 Why are you trying to buy fukubukuros like playing the stock market? It’s five bucks: prepare to be disappointed.
@wooterondo My wife already thinks I am insane to wait up until midnight every night to see what is on meh next. I was just hoping to reinforce the fact that I am not totally crazy by getting another worthwhile fuko. Now I am going to have to go back to the beginning to convince her that I am not just flushing $ 5 down the toilet. But isn’t that what marriage is all about?
@Felton10 Marriage is all about toilets? Just leave the seat down. Problem solved. You are welcome. (insert Snarky grin here).
@Felton10 Honestly they probably raid some local thrift store and pick up things that are going for less than a dollar.
@Felton10 then it’s high time to bring your wife all aboard the anticipation train! Life is about the journey, not the broken shit inside of the package when it arrives, right? One of my favorite things to do after snagging a fuku is to check the tracking device every day to gauge whether I just might receive a bandolier of carrots or a 6 ft tall gumball machine. Oh, the possibilities!
@wooterondo I do always that to-always check when the actual weigh replaces the placeholder weigh. When the weigh was small-figures it is some small broken piece of electronics-like it was for my last 3 fukos.
Most of the usual stuff…
@DemonMF777 Kare Kano was a really good manga, I should give the anime a shot.
1x Purple fuko bag
1x Swann Atom HD Wearable Action Camera
1x Pure Enrichment 8‑in‑1 Manicure and Pedicure Set
1x Spider creepy cup
1x Meh mug
1x Skol Lager model truck
1x Emergency “space blanket”
@SPARTEN2 gosh they have been giving out those spider (and other, mine in a long ago fuku had a pelican) mugs for years now. I wonder how many of them they have left in the warehouse.
1 Purple fuko bag
1 Meh. Mug
1 Barbie Clutch
1 pureHeat Heater(Doesn’t Work)
1 Targus Grid Backpack
Awkward Family Photos book
meh. sticker
Valentines Day do-over cards!
@Dh38 Awkward family photos have been around since fuku’s. They keep showing up. I wonder if they have a room just for things like this that they parcel out over multiple fuko’s LOL
@Kidsandliz I was wondering the same thing. Even the heater looks like it was just laying around in their office and they decided to throw it in lol!
@Dh38 Maybe we should mail them all our trash for them to recycle in fukos… oh wait that is what the mehrician exchange is for. Oops.
Here’s my haul. I’m most excited about the bag and mug (that I’ll never use). It’s pretty meh overall, but I’m sure we’ll find uses for most of it. Thanks, Meh! Also, I’m really surprised the mug survived. There was plenty of bags of air and bubble wrap, but none of it was anywhere near the mug.
@PurplePawprints Futurama trash can FTW!
@PurplePawprints Did you check inside your bag for your Meh sticker?
Purple Fuko bag
Meh Mug
Valentines Day cards
Star Wars (ep 1) Pencil Bag
Star Wars ruler (strangely not pictured)
Meh Sticker
And the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen, a (complete and undamaged!) gigantic TIE Fighter with Pilot! This thing comes up past my knee! It came in the Tie Fighter’s box with “Salvage” on it, wrapped in shrink wrap.
Best. Day. Ever.
@novedrake I think you win. That is a great haul and my husband will be super jealous of your Star Wars goodies. Congrats!
@PurplePawprints Thanks! I’m just lucky there wasn’t any Jar Jar stuff thrown in to bring me down.
@novedrake Best fuku I’ve seen! Makes me want to spend the rest of the day playing Galaxy of Heroes and watching Clone Wars (tv episodes, not movie).
@novedrake That TIE fighter kicks ass. Good score!
@goguma POKEMON!
@goguma quirky… I loved some of the crazy shit they sold…

Thank you meh!
Not bad for my first fuko
Arrived yesterday:
V for Vendetta mug
Meh mug
Meh sticker
Meh socks
Avengers travel coffee cup
porcelain Birthday Wishes Barbie (whhhhat?)
Valentines day oops apology cards
And last but not least a dead Metawatch Strata MW3007R smart watch WITHOUT the charging clip
Anyone have another source for the charging clip?
Slightly dis-meh-ed…
@Dierk If you know where to get a charging clip, I’m also looking for one.
@flynnski I ended up ordering one from Boomdealer
Not bad.
Got mine! Too lazy to upload photos. It had:
1 purple fuko bag;
1 sheet of belated Valentine’s do-over cards;
1 Meh sticker (Now to take the Prius badge off the commuter car and make it a Toyota Meh…So appropriate);
1 Black Meh mug;
1 Opened but possibly functioning Martian Notifier watch (Looks nice);
1 Petometer for counting your dog’s steps;
1 Hello Kitty flashlight (my 4 yr old wins the fuko again);
All in all, it was disappointing as promised. 1 out 5 stars.
Do not buy the fuko!
(But I’m totally going to buy the next fuko)
@jason2483 Oh man, the Martian Notifier. I have one from the Meh sale before Christmas, the ring around the dial (bezel) fell off after a month and i ended up swapping it for a new one from Martian support. The new one is sturdier but keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting, even when right next to my (admittedy mediocre) Android phone.
Got mine! One day early from original estimate. 12:01 am order:
1 - Purple Bag (meh)
2 - Meh Cup (meh!)
3 - Meh Sticker (meh!!)
4 - Fun coffee cup (eh)
5 - Pull back soft dart gun game (meh!)
6 - Valentines day do-over coupons (meh)
7 - Martian Notifier Smart Watch (charing - meh level TBD)
Overall - very satisfying Fuku!
very meh
@tachijuan if your Martian watch is charing, I’d recommend quickly unplugging and moving it away from anything flammable… And definitely don’t put it on your wrist!
@kasona ha!
And surprisingly the watch seems to work. Wouldn’t wear it, but it works. Will make a great white elephant gift at xmas time.
Final MehScore: 4.0/5.0 (points off for no MehPuck, and two MehCups in one package)
Got mine! Nothing that hasn’t already been posted in my perfectly Meh box!
1-Purple Bag
2- Meh mug - purple inside!
3-Meh Sticker
4-Valentine Coupons
5-Alien watch - interesting
6- Motorola dash cam - says open box so I’m hopeful it works!
7-Tinkerbell playing cards - my son is not impressed!
Well done Meh! I’m happy with my first haul!
Happy with my fuko
thanks meh.

D-Link DIR-808L Router, Returned by previous buyer
I’ve yet to be disappointed by any Meh purchase. You all really need to try a lot harder.
Mine arrived a day earlier than expected in a very large yet light box. I got:
I was expecting a lot less. Wonderful first bag of stuff. Hope I can do this again!
If anyone didn’t get a meh sticker + bag and wants one, I’m happy to trade for another meh themed extra from the past.
Big, Light Box arrived today
Thank you Meh people very much. This is so fun and awesome!
Fu Mehnchu is Satisfied!
@ugadogch I am so happy you kept that guy. Alythough he may be worth a hundred bucks at a garage sale.

My Big Fat Fuko Reveal
Bags of Sweet Tejas Air
1 purple Meh bag
1 Meh mug (unbroken)
2 Leak Frogs (quiet)
1 Dinosaur (dead)
1 “Merry Christmas” Ornament (Campbell Soup Kid)
1 Fitbit Charge (size S, charger missing, does not turn on)
Meh Valentine sheet
Meh sticker
Starting with Woot in 2007 and up to today with Meh I have never been gifted Leak Frogs. I look forward to bathtime fun with the frogs, and will report back on the Fitbit once a charger arrives on my doorstep. Thanks for the meh, Meh.
@mcvick Charger arrived for the Fitbit. The thing works! Now I wait on a band extender to arrive and then I will be good to go.
There’s a model truck and a mug and a home surveillance cam and a cardinal’s bowl and yeah
9 Bags of Texas Air
Purple Meh Bag
Black/Purple Meh Mug (expertly wrapped)
Meh Valentines Cards
Homedic Bluetooth Wrist Blood Pressure Machine
Sunpak Flexpod Pro Plus
Star Wars Ruler
Napoleon Dynamite Trash Can
@BeachedSquirrel Does your Homedic’s thing work? Mine came with a short; I expected nothing less. Still need to open it and find out where it is.
@mmichalka Yes it does! I half expected the batteries to be missing but they were there too.
Obligatory purple bag, mug, sticker and belated valentines cards.
One stick up speaker (purple to compliment my black one)!
Chefs pal pork thermometer
Star Wars water bottle (perfect to replace the one recently broken by my two boys)!
And never to be predictable…100 feet of used, kinked, rusty garden hose with residual water still in the lines (at least we pray it’s water)!
Not sure how the mailman liked delivering this soggy bottomed box, but I sure got a laugh out of it! Well played, MEH…well played indeed.
@Hskrjer99 that garden hose had me giggling, wtf, that’s some good stuff
@Hskrjer99 Update on the stickup speaker (DOA). But I took it apart and hooked it up to a similar battery from the kid’s drone and voila…works as good as it ever did. A buck and a half on eBay (and a slow boat ride from China later) for a new battery and she’ll be right as rain.
I only took pics of stuff I got and hadnt seen posted. My box had
2 meh coffee cups
1 purple meh bag
Valentines cards
1 Fitbit charge (it does work)
1 Willie Michi handbag (pictured)
1 bowling ball water bottle
@remo28 I love the water bottle.
Arrived 1 Day ahead of estimate here!
Fuku Bag
Meh Mug
XL dog cosume
Cozy leopard throw (really soft)
Pair of Tortoise Shell Sunglasses
and a Meta watch of some description that won’t turn on and has no charger.
Obligatory cat tax (sadly the rest of the costume didn’t fit )
also if anyone has info on where to grab a charger for the meta watch, or if it is worth the trouble, I’d appreciate it.
@nigglez I believe the last fuko they had a link for buying a charger and suggested that it wasn’t worth the money. You can find the thread and slog through it if you want.
@nigglez metawatch went out of business you cant connect it to anything anymore, im still trying to figure out what to do with the 5 i have.
@Northir @sammydog01 Ah I see, thanks for the response. 3/10 would meh again
@nigglez Nice haul. That blanket is nice.
@nigglez i saw someone removed the code that requires the app to connect to the meta servers but i never could find it again
@nigglez When I saw “XL dog costume” I thought it was going to be a dog costume for an XL person. I was disappointed when the photo loaded.
I think everything I received was pictured:
@ObliteRon Oops, forgot the Valentine’s cards and Meh sticker, which were in the bag
Got my fuko today!
Included was
Obligatory purple bag
Meh valentines
Meh sticker
Intact purple meh mug!
Creature Mug with shark inside
USB Hubman poseable USB hub
LG G Watch! (original Android Wear watch)
I like to think the Android watch is meh’s attempt to make up for the fact that the 4 Meta watches I bought from them all became useless when the MetaWatch company went out of business last year.
I opened it up, moved aside the Texas air (from my beloved Austin), and laughed. A Family Guy trash can.
Good thing I opened my Fuku right away because a little later the radio had a talk by a friend of some of the little girls that got blown up here in Birmingham back in '63. No laughter anymore.
Anyway, I got the excellent mug, a meh sticker that’ll go on the next laptop I love, the valentines, the lovely bag, a Martian notifier watch complete with return sticker saying it won’t charge (and no cable to check that with), an Aliens Alien Queen watch, and Adventure Wipes (amazing!).
A box, in good shape (sorry to those with crappy shippers), too.
Pictures or it didn’t happen:
Close up of the Aliens watch and<queue echo> Adventure Wipes</echo>
Whelp, Fuko showed up, like many, a day early!
FedEx claimed this was 11x11x11, but they clearly lied since it is in fact 16x12x10.
Gary loves his new box…
Quite a reasonable haul, if you ask me! Mostly stuff we’ve seen before, but one particularly interesting item…
14 fully inflated pounches of Texas air
3 partially inflated pounches of Texas air
Caddyshack mug
Meh… Mug
Meh bag
Meh sticker
Valentines cards
Pet pedometer
"The Villains of WWII actual broadcast" cassette (I’ll have to bring it into work to playback, no tape players at home anymore…)
Bēm Wireless Entertainment Goggles in pouch with earphones, wireless mouse and charger.
So… This isn’t the robot vacuum I had hoped for, I but it is certainly intriguing! "While watching Entertainment Goggles, it is possible for the user to be so fascinated as to ignore environmental and safety issues."
Looks like it’s basically a pair of low res (854x480) “VR” goggles with a built in Android device running 4.2.2, though make no mistake, this is not designed to be VR, but rather it “Gives You a 100’ Movie Screen Anywhere.”
There is one poor review from earlier this month on WalMart.com, but beside that, not a whole lot out there.
Anyways, I charged it, it seems to boot just fine and looks okay, seems pretty cool if you ask me, though it died after toying around with it for 10 minutes, probably something to do with the power adapter being a quarter the size the manufacturer states in the manual, guess I’ll let it charge overnight and try again tomorrow.
Looks like someone beat me to side loading Netflix, Hulu, etc. Said someone failed to remove their Gmail, I GUESS I’ll be a nice person…
Anyways, no complaints here!
Ash thinks user manuals make the best purrrr pillows

@TAsunder OMG, you got an adorable baby in a purple bag!
@TAsunder trade you…one very broken on arrival meh mug for a baby in a purple meh bag!
@TAsunder WOAH! I didn’t realize @snapster was into selling babies… you got that cutie for $5?
@sohmageek yeah, the baby’s a pretty sweet fuko item but did you see the 20lb 8mm projector?! ZOMG!! Heaven!
@Thumperchick refurbished baby, though.
@TAsunder Report back if you’re able to get anything showing on the projector! I wanted to try it out before we shipped it, but I didn’t have time.
@harrison The first step will be determining if 8mm film still exists somewhere in the universe.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adult-Film-Reels-8mm-LOT-2-12-European-MOVIES-Stag-Nude-Vintage-1950-60s-/192114758270?hash=item2cbaee927e:g:8YoAAOSwtfhYrLE2
only $135 +shipping to test out a machine that may or may not exists… @mfladd might chip in, considering the material!
@mikibell I will donate ten dollars to this project.
@TAsunder my family has a bunch of 8mm film still. Lots of videos my dad filmed on ships and what not. I’d love to watch through them all one day. They’re in storage so they don’t get ruined. My brother and I talked about using a device to copy them digitally so they don’t get destroyed.
I actually have a photo of my dad wearing bell bottoms, carrying his portable 8mm recorder.
@RiotDemon My sister just paid $63 to have Costco convert 10 min of 8mm of my parent’s wedding to digital. Not cheap. There has to be a better way.
@Kidsandliz I started looking into it. There’s places on eBay that are cheaper… But that means you have to send your film to some stranger through the mail.
Most people suggest projecting it and recording the projection with a digital camera.
There’s a box you can buy that records any kind of AV cable output… But that means your 8mm projector needs AV out. Not sure how many of those exist…
@RiotDemon Well maybe someone created one (8mm with AV cable output) and maybe that is cheaper than sending out the ones you want to convert?
@Kidsandliz the cheapest thing I’ve found is a little light box that you aim your projector at… And then you aim your camera at on the other side through a rubber lined lens. It’s best to have a projector that has variable speed to avoid the flicker.
If you don’t have a projector or video camera, well… Then I dunno, lol
If you want more info look up Telecine and/or Ambico video transfer. Tons of different videos. The ambico machine isn’t made anymore… There’s a bunch on eBay, but some are missing the power cord or they’ve never been tested, so who knows if they work.
I ran across a few other articles about people that skipped the box and recorded straight off the wall. This is probably the way we will go once we get the projector out of storage. It’s been quite a while since we’ve used it, so hopefully it still works. It seems older electronics last a lot longer than newer stuff, so I’ll cross my fingers that we will be ok.
@RiotDemon Sounds time consuming and complicated.
@Kidsandliz that’s probably why the companies can charge crazy amounts to convert it for you.
My fuko sucks…
you mug (intact)
No Valentine’s…
my meh cup is now a very nice bell sounding object.
One purple bag.
A martian notifier watch
A Napoleon dynamite picture book
And a big brother is
Lots of bags of texas air!
@mikibell You can fix that all during your goat term in March.
@sammydog01 my son tried to glue the mug back together…course I pointed out to him he was using fabric glue… So sad about fuko…think I can’t be
…
@mikibell martian paired with my phone…kid stole it…then my husband complained he didn’t get a cool watch, so I had to give HIM the one @oldcatlady sent me…
I never get to keep the cooooolll stuff.
@mikibell You have Irk, though.
I’m shocked that my mug didn’t shatter… Did anyone get chargers for the watches?
@sohmageek Not for me!
This is… uh. Well, let’s get started.

@mikibell you like your babies cage-free?
@Thumperchick yes…free-range babies are THE best kind to snuggle…
@Thumperchick - Grubby little baby paws are the best baby paws!

Returned Martian smartwatch (does it work!?)
Pristine deck of new playing cards (hearts, clubs, spades, diamonds design)

@wooterondo Have you played with Cheshire Cat toy? Because it looks fun.

@wooterondo p.s. my Felix is losing some fur on both sides of his lower torso and on the underside of his tail near his butt. Anybody solve the mystery of cat fur loss before? He’s kinda enjoying the vet-prescribed fish oil i sprinkle on his food.
@wooterondo as far as I’ve heard, fur loss is usually allergies. Does your cat rub or chew it’s fur a lot?
There’s a special tea tree oil for animals that helps irritated skin. I’ve used it on a few horses and dogs. I’ll see if I can look it up.
After looking for a while… I can’t find a bottle that looks the same. Probably changed the label since the last time I used it.
I did see lots of things saying that pure tea tree oil can be hazardous to pets, so I definitely don’t suggest that.
@RiotDemon lol, thanks for checking back in on that recommendation. I’ve been sometimes applying some Wondercide natural products to ward off flea/tick problems (solved now, check!), but I’ve been wondering whether I’ve got a mold problem because I haven’t been breathing well all winter while the house is closed up.
I hope I can determine the root cause once spring hits and I keep windows open. fingers and paws crossed!
Travelogue: Mine sat around in Texas procrastinating for a while. Then it was predicted to arrive on Sat the 25th. Finally made it to Tacoma, and delivery was pushed back to Monday the 27th. Next day, it was updated back to Saturday. It arrived today.

It’s no used garden hose, but it was fun. Hope the staff had as much fun packing it as I had opening it.
Also here is my yard a couple of weeks ago, just because the photo was next to the ones above.
I don’t know what to do about those intrusive image description things. Please disregard.
@KDemo I think if you keep them on a new, separate line, they stay hidden.
@RiotDemon - Thank you! For next time.
Progress report:
Martian Notifier watch seems to have charged, and has kept time for a day now. I guess it’s time to see if it will pair and notify Martians.
Arrived today 14x14x14 7.3 pounder.
First Fuko so you must imagine my excitement to post the first pet-in-reveal photo.
Pokemon Wall Graffix
Meh sticker
Meh mug
Meg bag
Meh Valentines
Beautiful 1995 Corvet convertable model car
Wink Quirky GE etc Smart egg holder (havent gotten it to pair yet)
2 Marvel travel mugs
Metawatch (once I get the charger I will track everything and dominate the world)
Totes Meh but quite exciting. Nephew loves the car. Kitty loves the box. Sister loves the fandom. I’m just happy to be here.
My Fuko arrived today, a few days early. Overall I am quite pleased with the haul. Not as pleased as if I had gotten a Roomba perhaps, but it definitely surpasses any BOC I’ve ever gotten. Here’s the breakdown:
1 Lovely Purple Meh Bag
1 Meh Mug (Not Broken)
1 Meh Sticker
1 Sheet Valentine’s Day Cards
1 Pair Men’s Piranha Outdoor Sport Sunglasses (about $20 at Wal-Mart)
1 ‘Get Cozy’ Animal Print Sherpa Throw (fluffy!)
1 Meta Watch (just the watch, nothing else)
1 Porcelain Birthday Barbie Trinket Box with Teeny Tiny Present
3 Bags Texas Air
Thanks Meh!
This really truly was a F_________ bag-o-crap. Meh should’ve paid me to take it. Wasn’t even worth the cost of shipping, no matter how little they may have paid. Definitely wasn’t worth even the cost of whomever they paid to pick and pack it in a vastly oversized box. The should’ve just given the stuff to Goodwill. Basically, it was a half-filled box of bovine effluvia!!!
@clyde how can we agree when you don’t tell us what you got or upload a picture?
@RiotDemon he just doesn’t get what it’s all about
@RiotDemon
i think he was serious.
@clyde I’ll bet my bag of crap was worse than yours. Nothing of substance except the purple bag which I just sent to my daughter because she loves purple and a mug that everyone got. The hi-light of the bag was an armourall dash board camera returned because it froze (according to the sticker on the box) A new one of these on amazon cost 13.49 and was given a 1 star rating by all 4 who reviewed it.
How is that for a bag of shit. Can you beat that.
@Felton10 Yeah I can beat that. My box arrived open and empty… no response yet from halp yet either (but then again it only arrived on Wednesday morning so likely not enough days have passed yet for them to answer).
@ OK guys, here’s the list of heifer dung I recently received from the Texas branch of the Retailers Hall of Shame:
Nice little Fuko:
Big Brother Mug
Meh Mug
Pokémon Wall Graffix-Diamond Pearl
Meh Sticker
Valentine’s Stickers
Purple Meh Bag
Shark Professional Steam Cleaner with Dirty Pad
Sent it to my (adult) daughter and her opened it with me over Skype. Immense fun and a great haul, although we might have to fight over who keeps the mug. Thank you Meh!
Looks like I made out like a Meh bandit!
Looks like I was wrong and between fedex holding the box hostage 20 miles from my house and USPS deciding not to deliver mail to my building today (seriously, not even normal friday junk mail) I really will get it tomorrow (unless USPS decided to take another holiday from my building).
I’m feel as though I received a lucky bag instead of a misfortune one this time around!
The printer had a cartridge jam error when I initially turned it on. (The starter ink was left inside.) I was able to overcome the issue and perform a firmware update.
I wasn’t able to get a page to print though.
Upon installing the HP SW from their online support site, it found the printer S/N with 13 months left on an extended warranty.
I went through the troubleshooting steps with the HP support rep and now an HP upgrade replacement is being sent along with a return shipping label for me to send this defective unit back to HP.
So, I’ll end up with a faster, newer HP e-All-In-One that will have the remaining 13 month extended warranty within the next couple of weeks.
This is definitely a step-up from the $10 Canon inkjet I recently purchased from you (then paid $27.50 for printer cartridges) and… I actually have a family member that can put it to good use.
Thanks so much, Meh!
Alright. This is the sixth Fuk(u/o) that I’ve gotten and this time was definitely a win!
I’m still assuming something is very wrong with the Fitbit. It wouldn’t be very mediocre if there wasn’t.
@grum Did you get your fitbit to work? Nope, I didn’t get a purple fuko, but that’s okay, knowing my luck I probably would have gotten one of the broken mugs and a bag with a hole in it.
@Barney I did get the Fitbit to work. It wouldn’t sync until I put the sync dongle into my laptop and synced it via the desktop application, which took an abnormally long time… Only then did it start working fine.
Seems to charge, function, sync, etc just fine now though. I have an Apple watch, and my roommate’s fitbit broke a while back so I’ll probably gift it to him because I’m just that kind of roommate.
Haha, I guess the upside is you don’t have to throw a broken mug and bag away.
@grum Great news about the fitbit! Of course I hope you know that means that all of your future fukos will be pure crap.
Got mine yesterday, came home to find a large heavy box on the front porch:
just kidding, i missed out this time.
@Steve7654 please. I believe all of it except the fact you don’t know about speaker light bulbs. Everyone on meh knows what a speaker light bulb is.
@Steve7654 don’t give them any ideas - used sandwiches, licked lollypops… and you’d probably gets ants and cockroaches too…
I had to go out of town for a few days immediately after receiving my fuku box. This was my first successful hunt for the elusive Fukobukuro and I can’t really complain with my haul.
The first thing I saw when I opened the box (after removing all the air) was the LG G Watch. It is fully functional and pretty useful after about six consecutive updates that it needed to get it up to date with Android Wear. I have been wearing it ever since and I think I will continue to wear it.
A Meh coffee mug, unbroken.
A big, heavy tablet stand which looks like it could actually be useful on a desk.
An Edward Scissorhands photo book. Not photos of Edward Scissorhands and/or the movie, just a regular 4x6 photo book with Edward Scissorhands on the front for some reason.
A Fuko bag containing the customary Meh sticker and Valentines regret cards.
Thanks, Meh, for expressing your love for me this Valentines Day.
Well I got my first Fuku and it was pretty meh. I got:
The one good thing about my house in anything even slightly animal related will be utilized!
@Avalora I have no idea what turtle tuck is, but how cute is your dog! That little pose! I’d keep the hat cuz it almost looks like a Donald duck hat. The cape is also useful.
@RiotDemon Thank you! I have no clue who he is either. We’re definitely keeping the cape and hat around! I tried to get a picture of our corgi with the hat and cape on too, but he was just getting too excited to get anything clear.
Lots of air.
Mug, purple bag, cards, sticker.
The monkeys at home play set.
Pook-a-looz spinner toy.
ArmorAll dashboard camera (so there, Rearview Mirror Dash Cam)!
but alas…
@etheltheflog pity.
@etheltheflog Well since the ArmorAll name is synonymous with high quality dash cams, I decided to mess with it a bit. Connected it to a USB charger on the counter and it’s been recording for 2 hours without a hitch. So maybe it’s the car transformer plug or something. If I get motivated, I might give it a real test drive tomorrow. Even if it turns out to be garbage, I really like the mug, so I’m not at all disappointed.
@etheltheflog maybe it is/was the screen saver time out… I think the settings are: off, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min
@etheltheflog I got one of those POS also. My sticker said it freezes. Amazon is selling this item for 13.49 with 4 reviews-all one star. So it was a POS when new. Wonder what you call a returned one?
Alright. Just got my fuko in. Two days later than estimate here in Texas (6 miles from meh) bought at the 8 am sale.
3 bags of local air
1 meh mug
1 meh bag
1 meh sticker
1 sheet of meh valentines
1 USB hub man
1 iPhone 5 silicone case (Purple, of course)
And 1 Bluetooth stickup speaker, complete with 6 dollar price tag.
Got mine Thursday.
North Texas air, mmmmm! Taste the smog! (I’m breathing pine scented East Texas air atm.)
Bubble wrap! Wrapped around the mint condition Meh mug.
Returned StickUp speaker, won’t charge, will sync when plugged in and controls playback but has no sound. Double bummer, future mad scientist supplies.
Purple Meh bag sack bacpack thing with hidden Meh sticker inside which I found after taking this photo.
Oriental Trading Company cardboard cube puzzle open bag item, packing it off to the grandkids in Maine.
Quality homemade creatively snarky VD was yesterday cards.
Heartbreaking cute porcelain figurine box of a little girl giving away a basket of puppies, delivered on the same day I had to bury one of mine. R.I.P. Bella Marie.
@synner621 So sorry.
@synner621
Aww, I’m so sorry.
I got my first Fuko!
2 Purple Meh Bags
1 Meh Mug
2 Meh Sticker
2 Sheets Valentine’s Day Cards
2 Pair Piranha Sunglasses
1 FitBit (returned as Unable to Sync)
1 Rocking Horse Campbell’s Christmas Ornament
1 Wine Glass (“Last time we do it in the kitchen”) [BROKEN - was shipped in its unsealed thin plastic cylinder, just thrown into the large box with everything else, like it was the hotdog and the box was the hallway.]
Thanks!
I did not get the FUKO this time, however the last one got me a MetaWatch Frame. I bought a charging clip. Charged it and it worked for about a week. Then the battery blew up. SO if anyone wants a charge clip I will send you one. Free. 1st come first serve. You can have an exploding watch too!
@kassh I needs one!
@musmagic where do I send it?
I have no idea how to make this more secure
The USPS tried to fool me by saying this was rescheduled to Monday but I did not believe them and checked my mailbox anyway and there was a brown box from MEH.
Purple Meh Bag with valentines and meh sticker
1 roll of painters tape styled to look like caution tape.
1 disguise party favors-fake eybrows
1 pull back soft dart gun (with cutout dartboard!)
1 box of gojo handsfree headsets (2 in the box)
1 Willie Michi purse (I’m guessing knockoff, but I’m a purse-free gay guy so who knows…)
1 Fitbit charge (ironically labeled as “won’t hold charge”)
I’m kinda sad I missed out on the broken mugs. Oh well. I’m averaging 1 FUKO per year, so maybe in 2018?
Received mine on Friday. (Got lucky on the 3PM VMP release, even though I still think the circuit breakers are evilbad).
Thanks Meh! An entirely uninspiring, yet mildly amusing and faintly usable box of stuff
My fitbit that says it won’t hold a charge has held a charge for over 12 hours so far.
@madmod20061
/giphy happy dance
So I sort of suck because I forgot to take pictures, but my fuko included:
Purple fuko bag
Red fuko reusable shopping bag
Meh mug
meh beer cozy
Cap gun key chain
Some weird “Meta” watch that looks like it needs a charger
Cow shaped beef food thermometer
This all came inside the box for an AOC i2757f monitor, and it also included the monitor. I was prepared for non-working monitor as it appeared to be a return, but I plugged it in and it fired right up. No issues that I can tell after using it for the past day or so.
Thanks Meh!
@revbat No pictures. Yep, you suck big time.
@revbat If you could just get a picture of the purple Fuko bag, @Barney would be happy. She doesn’t really care about the rest.
@sligett Ha! I also like the mug.
After years of trying, got my first!
holy figgity feck goddang SO AWESOME
@jkeroes your first and yet no pictures… we see how you are.
(gratz on the a-t earbuds)
@thismyusername tada!
@jkeroes So close!
/giphy so close
Dropbox does weird things and is hard to get directly to the image with.
FWIW, the fitbit box is empty cause Mom just got an upgrade
So my 18.7 pound Fuku bag arrived. Was pleasantly surprised to come home and see the box.
Here’s all of the loot:
Purple Fuku Bag.
VDay do over cards.
Chef Pals Beef Thermometer
Rudolph Red Nosed Reindeer ornament (Believe I accidentally hid it in this photo)
Grand Tour Shower Curtain
Meh Mug
Meh sticker
32 inch Vizio E Series smart television.
However, the tv itself looks perfectly fine on the outside with the exception of what looked to be a burned in image on the screen - This concerned me. I couldn’t get a good picture of this, but I did get a good picture of it turned on:
So yeah, decent Fuku bag. Love the experience of getting these, but a bit disappointed in the broken tv. Unsure if it was broken when it was shipped to me, or broken during the shipment.
@WUZUP1998 have you tried to contact Vizio? Some people have had luck saying they purchased stuff online, and the manufacturer takes the fuko receipt.
@RiotDemon Hmmmm really? I guess part of the issue is - I don’t know if the tv was new or refurbished? If it was a refurbished tv, I’m not sure they’d take it back.
@WUZUP1998 if there isn’t a refurbished sticker on the box… I’d say it was new.
Worth a try.
@RiotDemon I appreciate the heads up. I guess I didn’t really pursue it further because I just assumed it was a joke done by Meh to send a broken tv really and it would be potentially dishonest of me to try and get a new tv.
Can anyone from Meh comment on this by chance and let me know if they sent me a new/refurbished tv and it was apparently damaged while shipping (Box does look a bit rough)?
@RiotDemon - Contacted VIZIO and they are unable to repair or replace a broken or cracked screen. This type of damage is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. The cost associated with repairing this type of damage far exceeds the cost of replacing the unit.
@WUZUP1998 Most of that stuff like that is returned or already broken. They once sent a pallet of broken TV’s to someone (I was the original intended recipient but lived where I couldn’t get a pallet of anything, even if it was gold) the person they sent it to instead managed to cannibalize them to get some working ones.
@RiotDemon - Attempted to contact Fedex regarding it and was advised:
“The tracking number that you entered is for a FedEx Smart Post shipment. Only the company that shipped you this package can file a claim on it, and the claim cannot be submitted online. Please contact the shipper with your claim information.”
So looks like I am out of luck lol. Thanks though!
Looks like I got the same Fuko as @LionMan… (except mine was pre-soaked after apparently being delivered 3 days ago to the wrong house.)
Purple Meh Bag
Get Cozy Comforter (That will surely be a dog bed)
Piranha eyewear sunglasses
Meh coffee cup
Metawatch Frame
Birthday wishes Barbie
@skladany Hey, you got all the same stuff as I did. Coincidence?
@heartny meh left out your fitbit and tv too?
@skladany Yep, no fitbit, TV or Roomba. Was really hoping for a nice Roomba.
I got my Fuko! I’m very, VERY happy with it.
Purple Bag
Meh sticker
Valentines
Meh Mug (purple inside)
USB Hubman connector (green)
iPhone case (in purple)
LG G Watch with cables & all (YAY! Charges, syncs with phone, works! THANK YOU!)
Here is mine. Got it a few days ago but have been too busy to post.
Purple Bag
Meh sticker
Meh Valentines Cards
Meh Black/Purple Mug (Which is already in use at the office)
Plastic Skull X2 (Will probably see action at D&D)
Eragorn and Mr. & Mrs. WHO playing cards (The WHO have famous celebrities for face cards/jokers)
Wedge Star Wars Figure
Braven Bluetooth Speaker (Works great, paired with my phone easy)
I’m bummed that VMP’s weren’t offered to buy the Meh mugs first. My other half absolutely lives her Meh tshirts. She would die for this mug. Ugh.
@badger65 I know right? As a VMP I so want one!
@badger65
I want to add my name to this petition! Meh. mugs for VMPs!
@badger65 At least offer them to all the VMPs on the list tomorrow.
It’s Fuko time! Got it a few days ago, but . . . yeah. Here it 'tis:
(I’m having trouble uploading the image, so screw it.)
My parents received the chicken thermometer to compliment their previously fuko’d pork thermometer. As much as I wanted to make the handbag happen, it’ll probably go to GW along with the kids watch. The tape is a definite yes, and I’m going to tinker with the Fitbit. Thanks, enablers!
@mattpekarek Mine also ironically said it could not hold a charge, but 5 days later it is still charged. Plug it and and see.
I’m tired and pooped but kick my self in the ass if I don’t post what I was mehtified to receive:
Standard purple bag- meh issue
Glorious valentines cards
A fully intact and blacker than the Night’s Watch meh mug
A plastic replica 1995 yellow corvette- only the car of my and my poster babes dreams
A super snazzy black and white dress that looks just gawgeous on my wife (how the hell’d you guys know her style, let alone her size???)
And one very meh Turtle Beach i60 wireless gaming headset…
Who am I kidding, the headset is bangin! Literally slays all other broken junk I’ve received previously - and most importantly, NOT A META WATCH. Picture tomorrow, I’m beat
A bit late to the party but here goes:
Purple Meh drawstring bag.
Valentines day cards.
Meh sticker.
Meh coffee mug - intact.
Adventure Wipes.
Napoleon Dynamite garbage can.
Credit card sized USB charger.
Tashika digital camcorder - listed as broken, haven’t tried.
Martian Notifier Smartwatch - working.
Somebody, somewhere, got an entire box of meta chargers.
-Meh mug
-Meh bag
-Meh Sticker
-Meh Valentines belated cards
-A flash card for learning crap.
-A meta watch with no pin for the band or charger. (works, but no sever to connect to to update. My son confiscated it and put the band from a previous Fuko Meta watch on it and charged it via the charger from said previous watch)
-A Sonic Cycle bluetooth speaker/ light/ charger. Works and actually sounds really good. Gonna work great for camping.
-Coloud Headphones. New and sound ok but designed for an infants head. Most uncomfortable headphones ever to grace my head.
-“Precious Moments” Collectors Exclusive “God Loveth A Cheerful Giver” ring holder from June 1998. Probably worth a LOT of money, going by the description.
-Finally the Pièce de résistance a 6 pound giant cast iron fish. Now I know why this package was over 10 lbs.
Well played Meh. Lured me in with a heavy package, then set the hook with a 6 pounder fish. Well played.
@kevin8er I see meh has rediscovered their stash of bizarre souvenirs from faraway places. You got off easy.
GUESS WHAT!!! Meh sent me a replacement fuko for my box that arrived open and empty. THANKS MEH!!!
Contents:
Purple bag
Late Valentine Card sheet
Meh mug with the purple insides (and it even had bubble wrap around it)
Meh hockey puck
Meh neoprene can holder thingy
Meh sticker
And they made sure the box was taped really well LOL
I’ll post a photo shortly
@woodhouse Could you please tell everyone involved in getting me this replacement fuko that I really appreciate it and thank you very much!!
@Kidsandliz
Thank @galmaegi !
@galmaegi I understand you are the one who made sure I got a sort of replacement fuko when mine showed up as an empty, open box. Thank you so much for doing that rather than just refunding me. I really appreciate it!!!
@Kidsandliz Hey, no problem. Too bad if you were actually looking for broken stuff though!
@galmaegi Nope not looking for broken stuff since I have gotten enough of that in the past LOL (I was the almost recipient - was staying with other people at the time and had no place to put it under a roof - of the pallet of broken TV’s, likely because I had posted I made a working laptop out of two broken ones). Now I wouldn’t turn down a larger working computer monitor… (grin). Do not need a vacuum (the other, it would appear, somewhat standard non-booby prize for a lucky few who get a fuku instead of a fuko) since I bought one here. Again I appreciate since it had been ages since I got one and to have it arrive open and empty was rather more than meh…
/Announcement
You all suck. You got one and I didn’t.
/END Announcement
Better late than never from me. I just opened it as I have been gone! What a great thing to come back to
1 Office Coffee Mug
1 Shark in Mug Coffee Mug
1 Working Fitbit Charge - Shocked it actually worked
1 Meh Bag
1 Meh Coffee Cup
1 Random Action Figure
So sad… Used it 3 times and my purple bag already has the white lettering coming off (cracking off). So use yours with care. No idea if there is something that can be done to stop that from happening.
