@ruouttaurmind And there’s tens of thousands of people trying to get one.
The issue is that whatever method they’re using to process orders is unnatural. People have reported getting bags 30-60 seconds into a sale, while some get “sold out” messages even if they click through instantly and don’t even need to do the captcha.
My previous three attempts today were all lightning-quick, and I didn’t get a bag. This time, I took my time (relatively speaking, as I was still fast), and still got one.
Kept forgetting all day to check while I was at work. Wanted to know what was next so set an alarm for 1 minute til. Best Alarm I set in a long time.
/giphy freezing-offensive-love
They did this one right. They made enough available where even I got one - I’ve complained a lot about missing out because of short count. Given I was using a 1 bar Sprint connection, I doubt this was luck.
Something must be wrong.
I haven’t been paying that much attention. I just switched screens to see if it changed.
The bag came up.
I clicked on it.
Didn’t even find the I am not a bot box. It shows up that the order went through. Really? I clicked the v m p one as soon as it came up and didn’t get it.
Thank you meh!
p.s. don’t forget the bag this time. I didn’t get one the last time I lucked out. You owe me a cheap bag that I will never use! Plus, I hope it doesn’t say anything bad in Japanese. My neighborhood is 75% Asian, but not that many people from Japan. I think it is Japanese writing.
At least it will be delivered after Christmas, which is good. Means the kids will be with their cheating mother, so I won’t have to endure their shame as I open a box with questionable contents.
Boy this thing is so hard to grab. I havent a got a fuk in a long time. This is thing a giant pain the a$$. THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!! Was watching The Office and missed it.
@spitfire6006006 Dear me, how did that happen? The first one, which I rejected, showed a bad-tempered man in pajamas smashing a grapefruit half into his wife’s face while at the breakfast table.
You wait until the week before Christmas to send it out??? I have to wait forever for a 2 lb package? Honestly, if you were going to wait this long, you should have waited until next week, when the delivery guys are less busy.
USPS dropped off my Fuko before 7am this morning! Crazy. It is awesome too.
3x USB hub shaped like a human
Leeloo action figure
Night light with 3 outlets

And best of all the VMP socks that never got delivered last year!
A bag…good thing because my last one didn’t have a bag.
Some sort of personal safety system (like the I’ve fallen and I can’t get up thing) Works with your cell phone. If someone can set it up for me. If it works with my phone. I might use it. Getting a small dog. Still might walk it at night. Heck it is dark at 5. Can’t depend on the dog to defend me like when I had Rusty.
A pig that works as a pork thermometer that oinks when the meat reaches the proper temp.
Ummm, guys…I think you sent me one of there already.

UPDATE
Git er done
I FINALLY GOT IT
@greenispep I knew you would!
@greenispep
ME TOO!!
VIRGIN NO MORE!!!
@greenispep Same here. Been a VMP since the beginning and finally got my first.
@Fodder650 When someone with a K says "since the beginning” they mean it. Congrats!
@djslack Been here for over a thousand days and a VMP member but…what does the K stand for?
@benj They backed Meh on Kickstarter. Back before the dawn of time.
@blaineg Oh, wow! Thanks!
@blaineg
@djslack Yeah I’m a mediocre labs backer before there was a Meh. I didn’t know I got a special tag. /shrug
@benj kickstarter
@ddaymorgan thanks!
Holy crap, I got one!
@panthyrr
GOOD ON YA, MEH TOO!!!
Got er done
WooHoo!
I love you Meh!
oh look…
never mind
/giphy vulnerable-jolliest-connection
Blegh
finally got one!!!
@vmkhaze
Becuz we’re AWESOME!!!
Late to the party and still got one!! What a fluke!!
@benj
WE RULE!!!
Never got to celebrate one before!!!
It’s still just one per person right?
@candiedisilvio1
Yes.
@mflassy should I cancel the second one? I don’t want to screw myself and not get any
@candiedisilvio1
They’re going to cancel one of the two anyways.
@mflassy They really need to either hard-code the inability to buy more, or start taking VMPs away from people who dip multiple times, in my opinion.
@ShotgunX
It’s not just VMPs though.
Although you make a fair point. Complain to @dave and/or @shawn.
@candiedisilvio1 my bad…I feel like the Grinch who stole a Fubko. I double dog pinky promise it will never happen again
@mflassy The solution is to make fukos VMP-only, of course. Give everyone one last chance to subscribe, then lock the doors.
aha, finally, haven’t gotten one for a year and a half
/giphy withered-convenient-baboon
@spitfire6006006 picture adequately depicts the previous attempts
@spitfire6006006
Too cool for you/us!!
hmmm… why did i buy one?!
@DCSL Because it was there
Got it. I fucking knew it was coming as an evening curveball.
There was no captcha, by the way. Same for anyone else?
@ShotgunX same for me
@ShotgunX yep, nope
@ShotgunX Same. Nearly missed looking for it.
@ShotgunX
Me too!
Awesome!!!
@ShotgunX Same, I even waited for it to load, like an idiot, and it sold out.
Fuko you meh. 8 seconds and your sold out?
@bleedmichigan A thousand of these things over the last 24 hrs, posted in four batches. What more could they have done??
@ruouttaurmind And there’s tens of thousands of people trying to get one.

finally got a fuko, now I can be part of the cool kids table?
@LordSalem
We both CAN!!!
The prodigal son returns to the tune of an accessible - disadvantaged - gate. Boom shaka laka.
@studerc whee! I scored one as well - it’s been forever.
Holy crap I actually got one! unmoving-snooty-stem
@p3dal
Too great!!
Kept forgetting all day to check while I was at work. Wanted to know what was next so set an alarm for 1 minute til. Best Alarm I set in a long time.

@seraphmonkey
Eggsactly wot werked for me…
Wow! Geralt of Rivea may have died when left uncontrolled mid-battle, but I got one!
Ugh, you lied to me. I was logged in already. Y U DO THIS
They did this one right. They made enough available where even I got one - I’ve complained a lot about missing out because of short count. Given I was using a 1 bar Sprint connection, I doubt this was luck.
@brandon
But a lotto ticky!
Fuck, that was oddly easy. I mean once I was here at the right time, etc.

Hey, my giphy is broke. So I do have something to complain about.
Holy cow! My first one ever!

@mflassy thanks! I guess I still did it wrong. Does this work?
/giphy tight narcoleptic person
At last I was on Meh at Fukobukuro time!!
Woohoo… I finally got one!!
well well well…
/giphy dashing haunted word
First time!!! Got one!!!
/giphy surging-early-lawyer
No captcha, sells out ten times as fast.
Yay, my first Fuko! Can’t wait to see what junk is in store for me.
Was there a Captcha? I waited for it to appear but it never showed up.
/giphy whatever
Dammit! Do you want me to try to be witty, or focus on the posts? My eyes can’t be two places at once

@toddlamp ick!
holy shit! SCORE!!
I’ll be dipped in shit and hung to dry… I got one. It must be particularly unlucky…
Got mine this morning, and it was SO hard to override the reflex to mash that button!
Best thing about meh-rathon is having so many opportunities to somehow fail to get a fuko.
@kDCYorke It sure does wonders for your self-esteem!
@awk Just remember, it IS a conspiracy.
well that showed up earlier than expected…
any chance @meh can make one of these vmp only for those of us suckers giving $60+/yr to you?
@t0nyc0tt4m they did earlier today. you missed it.
@t0nyc0tt4m
She doesn’t have that kind of control.
@t0nyc0tt4m NO
/image handy-particular-dragonfly
@speediedelivery Upvoted because I like dragonflies.
I just want one of the Swim Bag’s that sold in October. Meh, if you could help me out and add that to the meh-rathon,I would really appreciate it.
YES!!!
/giphy incompetent-childish-soldier
And I hesitated because I couldn’t find the Captcha.
HAS IT SHIPPED YET?
YAY??? I got fuko!
/giphy needy-delicate-number
@bradyson That gif is breaking my mind.
@Fodder650 I hear “heart and soul” playing when I see it.
OMG u guyz! OMG u guyz! I won a fukukajuku!
/giphy dead-wayward-hose
@UncleVinny
No, you bought a Fukobukuro not a Fukubukuro. Huge difference.
@JanaS preeeeeetty sure I won a fukukajuku.
FINALLY!! It was taking so long to process I just thought “screw it, another missed chance, thank you shitty wifi” but I was wrong woohoo!!!
Third time is a charm! Can’t wait to get it! Only a year of trying.
I haven’t snagged one of these since the good old Woot days. Are Fukobukuros crappier or better, or about the same as the BoC of old?
@beachboui we’re about to find out, pardner!
@beachboui About the same as current BoC. In the early days of meh even the worst fuks were kinda sweet.
YES! Got one!
/giphy permissible-soaked-cereal
15 more minutes? Almost makes me think it’s another one
Damn, closest I have ever come to bagging one.
“I’m not sure which one you want”?!
/giphy glitches-destroyed-me
/giphy sick-unbecoming-gerbil
Something must be wrong.
I haven’t been paying that much attention. I just switched screens to see if it changed.
The bag came up.
I clicked on it.
Didn’t even find the I am not a bot box. It shows up that the order went through. Really? I clicked the v m p one as soon as it came up and didn’t get it.
Thank you meh!
p.s. don’t forget the bag this time. I didn’t get one the last time I lucked out. You owe me a cheap bag that I will never use! Plus, I hope it doesn’t say anything bad in Japanese. My neighborhood is 75% Asian, but not that many people from Japan. I think it is Japanese writing.
@smilingjack
If you write in to CS, maybe they could hook you up with a bag.
Gahhhhhh!
Why keep the bag up for 20 minutes when it is sold out in 2 seconds? Just a taunt to those of us who are unable to get one!
@RCFlyer presumably all the stuff this hour will be 20 minutes
/buy
@MrMark Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@mediocrebot was I close?
@MrMark Ummm… sure!?!
At least it will be delivered after Christmas, which is good. Means the kids will be with their cheating mother, so I won’t have to endure their shame as I open a box with questionable contents.
I got one this morning …
Finally , chrry is popped
I’m getting fed-up with this sold-out bullshit!
So is everyone getting candy corn in their fukoburos ? # inquiringmindshavetoknow. Does anyone know how many fukoburos were sold all together today ?
@AttyVette One thousand, so far, minus a few double-dippers getting their spares canceled.
@ShotgunX @AttyVette
As it stands right now:
1st listing: 247 sold.
2nd listing: 250 sold.
3rd listing: 247 sold.
4th listing: 247 sold.
@mflassy So maybe they will have one more with a total of 9 available. LOL Of course they haven’t weeded out the multiple orders yet either.
@mflassy wow I have never seen that many fuko…guess Christmas spirit and all
@AttyVette
In the second Meh-rathon, the sales were as follows:
1st listing: 190 sold.
2nd listing: 187 sold.
3rd listing: 203 sold.
4th listing: 158 sold.
Guess they wanted to get rid of more
garbagestuff.@Kidsandliz There were 250 sold at sellout so some have been cancelled already.
Boy this thing is so hard to grab. I havent a got a fuk in a long time. This is thing a giant pain the a$$. THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!! Was watching The Office and missed it.
First for me. Yay!
Without a robot check, I got one. Best thing that’s happened this week so far!
/giphy unsuitable-grateful-grapefruit
@OldCatLady I uh…that gif might need an nsfw tag lol
@spitfire6006006 Man you have a dirty mind (grin)
@spitfire6006006 Dear me, how did that happen? The first one, which I rejected, showed a bad-tempered man in pajamas smashing a grapefruit half into his wife’s face while at the breakfast table.

What do I do I was charged 10 dollars on my card for this but I dont see it in my order history
