@boc Obnoxious system said it wasn’t so I clicked buy then was told sold out after I confirmed I’m not a robot. Worse than meh. That’s crap. I guess I was warned
@jsh139@Kidsandliz I laugh at the people swearing off Meh because they never got one. Should have just stayed up an extra 20 minutes. And I believe this one lasted 1:45 or so
@jsh139@Kidsandliz I got a long series of green loading bars that lasted about 30s before the inevitable message of disappointment
/giphy inevitable disappointment
@jsh139@Kidsandliz@thejackalope
Repeated green bars and then ‘Are you a robot?’ and it’s aleady checked and no way to re-check it. Later, rinse, repeat.
@DJ gosh you got unlucky this time. It was up for over a minute before 101 sold. With luck (for you) more people will have given up and gone to bed so you can get one.
@Kidsandliz it gave me about twenty green bars before I had to refresh because it claimed I didn’t captcha… then I got another twenty green bars and it was sold out. Crapola.
@drewesque I think they usually just cancel one, but yeah- don’t do it since even if they only cancel one that’s one someone else could have had that you get nothing for.
god damnit. i’m getting really angry. this time around, i tried 5 times and after processing gets to ‘orders are coming in fast, please try again’, and - what do you know - sold out. i’m getting the full FU experience. Between the end of new videos and this, I’m getting really unhappy.
@JessUknow@miscreant mine did the same BUT ut first said oops sorry error then said are you a robot because you cant buy if you are a robot and are you a robot box still plainly showed green check mark. #disappointmentonceagain
6th time verify not a robot. Finally get to the green bar and it is taking forever. Then it says you cant but this if you are a robot. Am I a robot? Did i come to sone different reality. You are just messing with me meh.
Three times…I’ve tried to buy this thing. First time, it kept asking me if I was a robot, although I’m really not. Second time, lots of spinny green progress bars and after about 40 seconds of processing, “sorry, we’re taking lots of orders right now, please wait a while and try again.” Third time: sold out while in the middle of the spinning stuff. Meh. Why do I even care, when the freakin’ web server can’t handle it?
@dl126 because they are only selling a few at a time instead of all at once. This last time though it took over a minute to sell 101 instead of selling out in 10 seconds more or less so many people may have given up and gone to bed.
im hoping for a VMP time so maybe i can actually buy one…course disappointment will be awaiting arrival if i get one but still…bet all the people will get things put up for sale the last few nights …
My green bar kept moving… then said a lot of people must be buying so taking a while and to try later, so then I clicked the buy button again and asked if I was sure I was not a robot. The Captcha never refreshed.
I’m embracing my inner robot and enjoying the multi-picture captcha challenges, reminds me of the one awhile ago when it was 20+ in a row…those were the days!
I managed to grab one even on DSL, so if you really want one of these bags of crap (!) just wait a little while, until the fast buyers drop off to sleep!
@timg Really, they are nothing to get excited about. For the most part they are just trash. Except for the time I got the Chromebook, oh, and the time I got the upright vacuum. And last time when I got the steamer and humidifier. But believe me, they are nothing, nope nothing, to get excited about.
My theory about the lengthy time it takes to send these out is that Meh is sadistic and wants to build up our excitement, and then crush us when we end up getting the usual crappy Fuko.
@timg I think it is safe to say that @Barney’s list is exceptional for good luck with these things. With Fuko’s I got a steamer (as did a lot of people) and some apple phone cords. The rest (outside of the bag and sometimes other meh swag) - umm well… dollar store type stuff (aka trash). They are shipping over 2400 of them so I’d image that will take a while.
If memory serves each set had a different image. What if each group got a different stuff. The first group was very meh, and each group got progressively better
@joebuddah@PlacidPenguin Or the number in each fuko was determined by the number in that box “set” with identical contents; each person in a fuko group gets the same crap?
Specs
What’s in the Box?
It is a mystery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Warranty
Absolutely not
Estimated Delivery
Thursday, Aug 18 - Monday, Aug 22
It’s about damn time.
@Griff726 So now are you going to stay up to keep clicking meh buttons?
@Griff726 I’d give up but the snoring is keeping me awake
Whack-a-mole.
Finally.
/image candid-putrid-club
Bazinga. I clicked things.
My first Fuko
@chaos13 Congrats!
@chaos13 @smigit2002 Condolences!
Not sold out yet…
@boc Obnoxious system said it wasn’t so I clicked buy then was told sold out after I confirmed I’m not a robot. Worse than meh. That’s crap. I guess I was warned
This ones lasting a while.
@jsh139 Still is up at 99 sold. Amazing. People must have given up and gone to bed.
@jsh139 a really long while. I got tired of refreshing to see how long it would be up. Over 1 minute.
@Kidsandliz no one should complain. There was a whole minute that it was available! Can’t believe that.
@evilstan60 @jsh139 Well now it sold out at 101. Lots of people must have given up and bailed.
@jsh139 @Kidsandliz I laugh at the people swearing off Meh because they never got one. Should have just stayed up an extra 20 minutes. And I believe this one lasted 1:45 or so
@jsh139 @Kidsandliz I got a long series of green loading bars that lasted about 30s before the inevitable message of disappointment
/giphy inevitable disappointment
@jsh139 @Kidsandliz @thejackalope I’m right there with you brother, but no worries we’ll get one
@jsh139 @Kidsandliz @thejackalope
Repeated green bars and then ‘Are you a robot?’ and it’s aleady checked and no way to re-check it. Later, rinse, repeat.
Any chance of getting anything of value?
@drewsky
@drewsky I once got a metal cup holder for a motorcycle. It’s attavhed to my lawnmower.
@drewsky There’s always a chance. I got a vacuum once worth $100. Some others got Dysons that time around, if I remember right.
@drewsky I got about 8 usb hubs last time. Can’t remember a laptop or desktop without enough USB!
There were a few recent pieces of crap, but this is an April fool’s full, so anything is on the table,
Still trying to figuee this whole thing out
I got one! I was starting to think the whole thing was an April Fools joke, but my order actually went through!
Weird
Finally! I thought we were being rick-rolled there for a minute.
/giphy rad-unbalanced-druid
i’m not a fucking robot fuck off
101 this time. They’ll run out soon.
/giphy wilted-flashy-caviar
This one is lasting forever! Must be all fidget spinners.
Ok fine, I won’t be a robot.
/buy I’m not a fucking robot
@adamselby Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@mediocrebot Fucking robots.
I’m not a robot. Still.
/giphy robot
@DJ gosh you got unlucky this time. It was up for over a minute before 101 sold. With luck (for you) more people will have given up and gone to bed so you can get one.
@DJ @juststephen I wish I was this cool of a robot
@Kidsandliz it gave me about twenty green bars before I had to refresh because it claimed I didn’t captcha… then I got another twenty green bars and it was sold out. Crapola.
Is the only buy one for the whole day or for each instance?
@drewesque whole day
@drewesque has the item changed?
@Nuurgle each time has a new number in the model designation, but the title stays the same.
@Seeds that was what I figured. Almost tried for two, but do not want to risk both being cancelled.
@drewesque I think they usually just cancel one, but yeah- don’t do it since even if they only cancel one that’s one someone else could have had that you get nothing for.
Dammit
Wow, I got booted off after getting the “these are selling fast / are you a robot?” errors three times. Tonight’s not my night.
@heartbleed Same here. Maybe because we both have ‘heart’ in our usernames? Heart conspiracy?
I AM NOT A ROBOT, I am human!!!
god damnit. i’m getting really angry. this time around, i tried 5 times and after processing gets to ‘orders are coming in fast, please try again’, and - what do you know - sold out. i’m getting the full FU experience. Between the end of new videos and this, I’m getting really unhappy.
my night so far
@awk At least you got the swarm of locusts. I got nothin.
Well the load bar went through about 25 times, was incredibly excited, then a big fat nope.
@JessUknow yeah mine kept acting like it was going to buy too but then finally came back saying sold out.
@JessUknow @miscreant mine did the same BUT ut first said oops sorry error then said are you a robot because you cant buy if you are a robot and are you a robot box still plainly showed green check mark. #disappointmentonceagain
Terrible servers. Passed captcha but glitched and then thought I was a robot. Refreshed and tried again and it failed, then “Sold Out”
@EvilTuna31x same here… Bullshit really.
Nothing but the green loading bar then try again. Oh now I am a robot even though I want before. Would be nice if this site cupid function properly.
“try again later”, then “sold out”
SMH I checked the box and it still gave me the stupid error for not being able to buy because I was robot!
That green bar kept on moving and moving and…
I got screwed over yet again.
/giphy That hurt
Thanks for nothing Meh. It’s wonderful to spend a minute watching the purchase bar fail to load. Happy fuck me day!
aaarrggg not a robot
The hell is up with captcha tonight. It’s making me tap on 38 pictures of non existent street signs and cars.
I am not a robot
booted because apparently I’m a robot.
Dammit sold out while fighting captchas. I hate these picture captchas where you need to click all the stupid cars and wait for them to load.
@Eris Is that what you got? I just got the “I am not a robot” checkbox.
What browser are you using? Google owns Captcha, so maybe there’s something they do with Chrome.
It’s my understanding that the checkbox one just watches the mouse move across it going to the box. The box is incidental.
It called me a robot
I’m not a robot, I am a real boy, JUST LIKE YOU!!
And now it’s every 20 minutes.
/giphy thorny-wise-silver
If they keep selling this many all day, we’re each gonna get maybe a fidget spinner and another meat thermometer
that being said, got one YEET
/giphy red-sugary-chess
6th time verify not a robot. Finally get to the green bar and it is taking forever. Then it says you cant but this if you are a robot. Am I a robot? Did i come to sone different reality. You are just messing with me meh.
@SurgTechGirl same here
Wow. I didn’t get one, but I was pretty close. I got to a green loading screen, then it said try again.
Damn green bar just filling and emptying again and again then throwing an error
@trixter313 Same here.
@trixter313 I counted, it was 9, times then the same.
Three times…I’ve tried to buy this thing. First time, it kept asking me if I was a robot, although I’m really not.

I get it. Exclusivity drives sales. But this catcha bullshit is some bullshit. Seriously, Meh. There’s got to be a better way of doing this.
Same as many of the last comments.
Stupid to have us go through the process when sold out hour ago.
Arizona doesn’t change clocks…
Why are these sold out so fast?
@dl126 Probably all of the robots buying them
@dl126 because they are only selling a few at a time instead of all at once. This last time though it took over a minute to sell 101 instead of selling out in 10 seconds more or less so many people may have given up and gone to bed.
@dl126 To properly answer this question would require several years of intense study on the nature of human psychology.
@dl126
/giphy take my money
I did get one— thanks for heads up about vmp time on yesterday’s sale @Kidsandliz
@AttyVette you are welcome. I hope you get a good one.
im hoping for a VMP time so maybe i can actually buy one…course disappointment will be awaiting arrival if i get one but still…bet all the people will get things put up for sale the last few nights …
My green bar kept moving… then said a lot of people must be buying so taking a while and to try later, so then I clicked the buy button again and asked if I was sure I was not a robot. The Captcha never refreshed.
@todaresq same
As I mentioned earlier, but I’m putting it here at top level, my Captcha was just check box next to “I am not a robot”.
So my questions are these:
Did you get a more complex Captcha?
If so, what browser are you using?
@craigthom Mine was just a checkbox, and I’m using Safari and macOS High Sierra on a MacBook Air.
@brian212 @craigthom Just the check mark here on a Mac with firefox.
@craigthom i have used safari and google chrome and all i get is endless captchas
@AttyVette @craigthom do u have an adblock on or cookies disabled?
@AttyVette @heehaw I do have AdBlock installed, but I leave cookies alone.
@craigthom @heehaw I have Adblock on and also didn’t mess with the cookies on computer.
So they usually sell around 600 of them. So far 444 sold. Perhaps 156 left to go. I wonder if they are then selling anything after that.
@Kidsandliz About 4000 sold this time…
@juststephen @Kidsandliz Someone did a count I think it showed a little less than 3000 sold
@AttyVette @juststephen Yes that is what I thought. Just under 3000.

Does it really take more than 3 weeks to ship these? are they out dumpster diving now to fill the last few boxes or what?
@timg Let’s just hope they’re not at the Goodwill by-the-pound store again.

@sammydog01 @timg I love the Goodwill by-the-pound outlet store. OK, I’ve only been once, and one of the regulars told me “next time bring gloves”.
@craigthom Or a biohazard suit
If memory serves each set had a different image. What if each group got a different stuff. The first group was very meh, and each group got progressively better
@joebuddah
The boxes are all prepared anonymously. Only after they are packed and sealed do they receive labels.
Because the boxes would otherwise have to be predetermined with regards to groups, randomness would be forgotten.
In short, no.
@joebuddah @PlacidPenguin Having purchased from the first batch, I will admit I was scared by the “fools rush in” title.
/giphy you fools!
