@bakeyoural Now it's a quarter to three in the morning and I'm wide awake and hungry, and there's no leftover pizza in the house. Stairmaster and I need to have a session,
@capguncowboy **knocks on wood. Yea man, it feels good, I almost feel honored. I haven't scored a big one yet, but I feel that my odds should be improving.
@studerc Just hope that when you hit it big, it isn't fake security cameras. I couldn't even give those things away! Well, then I gave them to someone on the forums for some sort of college project. Not sure what that was about, but I like to think that somewhere out there, there is a car with 25 fake security cameras mounted to it.
@cengland0 Yeah I saw that too. Selling out in a minute makes it no longer worth staying up for. Oh well. They now make it such a crap shoot not worth my time as the odds are too low. I had been sort of hoping they'd give the VMP a gift on their birthday. Probably too many of us to do that for too at this point. I guess they like growth but we have just lost something I find that is valuable - which is a fair chance to win a fuku and not having to click exactly at midnight and even then you might lose out.
@editorkid Hey they gave us permission to bitch in the description... not my fault it is like woot with respect to getting one now. On the up side they have appeared to have fixed the website crashing problem in a fuku LOL
@Kidsandliz what do you want, lame ass where's waldo like woot? The last two sold out in a minute or two also. This is not a change. If you want one, open your browser and sign in five minutes before, and start hammering refresh at 11:59. Every night.
@givemeyoursoul Was signed in like others were and had the same issues as some others did. Might be worthwhile not to make assumptions and engage in name calling. While this site allows the use of swear words, typically nasty language and name calling isn't directed at others. Perhaps you haven't noticed that most people do not flame others here.
@Kidsandliz Oh I know. And honestly since Meh pretty much is the soul of our former favorite shopping site, the tradition must continue. I was just continuing the other tradition, the people who complain about the complaining...
@Kidsandliz Like I had said before, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't fix the server crashes. It's just crap, be happy for the winners and better luck next time or go to bed. More Fukus is not the solution, because it will be too easy and each will have so little value that they will be guaranteed to be completely useless. Meh might as well just print a picture of a red bag on a quarter million sheets of paper and ship that as the next Fuku. Everybody will be ecstatic they got one, but nobody will be happy with what they get.
Wow wtf is going on. I clicked refresh, saw it was a bag. Clicked buy that shit right away. Got the pop up. Click robot. Oh shit I gotta match some pictures, choose the cheeseburgers fast man holy shit.
Click verify. Good. Click Purchase. Two bars. Works. See Order. Click it. Its listed on order page. Go back to front page. Sold out. 619 total.
And I missed out on the last 2 or 3 from laggy servers or bad timing sleeping. Hopefully this will be my glory bag.
@Bogie I'll just point out that the bag itself is a repeat (of one I missed!), so at least your fuku bag collection remains complete. And isn't branded merchandise what's really important?
@baqui63 Ironically, that's not an immense liver at all. It's actually a very nicely sized and shaped liver. I say this as I currently have a patient under my camera 20 feet away that has a particularly immense and oddly shaped liver. Cool pic though.
@cengland0 don't worry, they have a patch for that, then a patch for the patch, then a patch for the patch for the patch, then a patch for the patch for the patch, oh and have some mcafee crapware while you are at it ;)
@cengland0 I despise Flash and eagerly await its along-overdue demise. But when I recently disabled it in Chrome, I was disappointed/horrified by the quantity of content – from video streams to UI – rendered inaccessible in 2015.
As infuriating as these plugin crashes are, constantly needing to fall back on my secondary browser (just to load one of those Flash-dependent websites) was even more inconvenient.
@Rowsdower Any site that still requires flash to run should have their developers fired. It's difficult to get flash on mobile devices like iPhones, iPads, and Androids and the majority of people are using portable devices as their primary browsing method.
Look at today's stats for an example: 48% on a phone, 7% on a tablet. That's more than half of the visits are using a device that doesn't support Flash.
Thank you for a wonderful year, and a bunch of t-shirts which are in a box somewhere, but which I keep buying. Thank you most of all for utilizing the drawstring backpack, which has haunted my dreams since I missed out on it! I'm the happiest obsessive-compulsive hoarder in the world right now!
HOLY BALLS I ACTUALLY GOT ONE. Never was able to snag a BoC over many, many tries, and always missed the Fuku bags too. Happy days and happy birthday, meh!
1 freaking minute??!!! And what was with that stupid "I'm not a robot" verification thing??!! It delayed me for a few seconds so I missed the fukubukuro??!!! What a crappy way to start my day. Pissed off.
I hadn't been around Meh much the past months and was bummed to miss the shirt yesterday. By chance I was awake tonight and saw Fuku on my phone alert from twitter. Can't believe I managed to get one! Probably not worth the $10 but at least some excitement in my life since the embolisms in May in a good way.
@Outofmehmind $10? Most of us only paid $5. Perhaps if you had VMP you wouldn't have had to pay for shipping. ($3483 / 620 = $5.62 on average because some Texans pay tax too)
@cengland0 Well I had VMP for 6 months or so. I dropped it when my old CC expired and I suffered 13 blood clots in my lungs and right side heart failure or cor pulmonale . I was out of work for months as well.
@mossygreen Well I would like to think my luck changed back in May when I survived something I was told I shouldn't have probably not have. Then again I quit smoking after 25 years in February and if I hadn't I wouldn't have for sure. From about the 3rd day in the hospital I had hope I would pull through this and with each day better than before. Not even a week passed and I honestly felt better than I had in weeks prior and when I left the hospital I felt better than I had in months. Turns out I had many warning signs, I was just stupid and ignored them. Then followed weeks of rest and walking, when I could, to get my strength up. The real issue was and is still to some point my wife is disabled with MS. She draws no disability still however so I was the only provider for the family. 2 months of part time work due to feeling bad followed by 6 weeks of completely no work followed by now 3 weeks part time work left us in a situation where I have stacks of bills, letters of threaten to evict and little money for anything spectacular. I learned the hard way in all of this that the only person who will take care of you is yourself. Get off your butt , go to work and survive. Or die trying.
I went from a person who only took a Aleve per day to someone who takes 16 pills a day including a water pill, potassium, beta blockers, blood thinners, pain medication and more.
I went from a person who stopped at Arby's most days for a few roast beef to a person that can't have the sodium in one roast beef sandwich over a entire days intake.
I went from a person who would stay up days at a time even at the age of 42 and drink 2 liters of soda a day to a person who sleeps 8+ hours every 20 ( and a odd schedule now due to that sudden tiredness ) and only drinks a can a day.
Most of all I went from a person who thought they were invincible to someone who now knows they were dead before and truly alive now and life is a gift that should never be wasted.
I am not sure how I managed to get a Fuku. I wasn't on Meh when it came up, or even at my computer. I did have my phone beside me and was able to get to the computer and come to the site to hit the button. Oddly enough even though I had not purchased anything in 4.5 months I was logged in. more odd it had my new CC info already entered. There must have been something I almost purchased in the previous months for that to happen, but I honestly cannot remember.
I'd like to think my luck has changed far earlier than this night and this Fuku. After all I've had Fukus and BoC's before and lucky was hardly ever the case when receiving one. The draw is the days and weeks wondering just what craziness is involved.
I expect a bag in which my cats will play in such as last time, and maybe some more stickers that I can place on my desk and even though I do not drink coffee I still drink milk out of my creepy cup with the ceramic spider in the bottom. I used the leak frog from the last one in a remodel I did over the winter to give a homeowner some peace of mind. It saved his bathroom from damage and my a claim a few months back. When I got that Fuku back in November I remember being slightly mad at the crappy things inside even though I hadn't expected anything grand. At the time it all seemed so useless but despite that it in the long run gave me and my pets enjoyment and even saved me from costly damage on a job I did.
I expect nothing more this time either, but I do expect no matter what crappy things reside inside that box, that should I be alive I will be happy and if not, someone will get a good confused laugh from the matter.
Most of all I went from a person who thought they were invincible to someone who now knows they were dead before and truly alive now and life is a gift that should never be wasted.
Amen.
I have a feeling your delivery will be well worth the $10.
I looked at my clock and saw it was 11 so I head on over here and get here at 11:01 and see the sold out sign because it's fukubukuro. Do you guys just sit on your computers at 10:59 every day waiting in case it's one of these? And only offering 620 of these then huh, like honestly fuck off
@mick Actually yes: Because of that my laptop was sitting right next to me when the alert came. I even struggled with the captcha and had to do it over. Still managed to get one which never happened on w00t.
Thank you Meh... Now I can get a solid few days of slee.... wait... We still have a baby that is teething... @studerc if you're getting any sleep now... it gets worse... Just a FYI... Teething is hell...
@studerc we need a babies.meh.com. :p. Baby gates are a pita but a nessisary evil. Raylan just learned how to do stairs.
There are so many awesome things. Like he also just learned to clap by himself.
I guess I can't complain too much (loudly) about sleep and teething. He is almost 10 months. In that time we've probably had 8.5 months of hm sleeping through the night. But as you probably know that doesn't mean we got 8.5 months of good sleep :p
So sad. I clicked buy now, but it booted me between then and the time I was signed in with my name. Wished it would have saved my purchase when I clicked to buy.
@bchrist825 do what I do. Load it up on 3 devices. It freezes and shit on them but whichever finishes first is awesome. Phone loaded meh.com 2nd but loaded the buy screen 1st. Mac did meh.com 1st buy 2nd but completed the sale. Pc was fucking useless but it tried.
Phewy, set my alarm and woke up only to have it not recognize anything when I kept checking I am not a robot. I even selected a "picture with bread". That's the first time I've seen that.
Thanks Amazon Echo for reminding me! I set an alarm for 10:55pm tonight. When it went off I was thinking WTH is that for? Then it dawned on me and I started refreshing. lively-arched-flavor for me!
Damn, first Fuku I ever missed. I had already accepted the fact that I would probably miss the next one (This One), so i'm not that mad. I would have LOVED to have gotten it, but its all good I've had my fair share.
@Stallion I was surprised to get one because I feel the same. More people here means it will be harder and harder to score, and I felt #4 could have been my last.
Meh... flustered-moaning-point Happy Birthday Meh. Almost missed it too, was all ready to check it when it went live and was busy doing some actual work when the guy next to me told me I was right and it was a fuku, managed to snag one in time.
Refreshed right at midnight and still missed out. Just can't win sometimes. I blame Time Warner though, everyone knows they really suck. Edit: but just to make meh happy, screw you Meh!
Cancelled my VMP membership. I have all the speaker docks i can ever need and will never get a Fubu. Good luck in your second year. I won't be around to see it.
@Dopepeddler That did seem a little squirrely. I lost too, but I am impressed that the meh servers didn't melt down. I'll be even quicker next fuku time.
@sprockett01 ok so you have posted this picture a bunch of time already in this thread... maybe challenge yourself a bit and find different ones to express your unwavering opinion?
Only 620, and I apparently loaded the site a few seconds too late... it was 12:06 and already sold out. D'oh. Sonofa... (Oh, wait, it's Meh, I can swear... sonofabitch!)
Happy Birthday Meh! Alarm has been waking me every night at midnight for 6 months now to buy your stuff! ❤️❤️❤️ Got my Fuku on tonight! ARCHED-EDUCATED-WOOL! Woo hoo! Where do you come up w this stuff?!?
I literally clicked to buy this at 11pm cdt and the green bar did it's animation thing and phlat...error! Then it was sold out? Is Meh ever going to offer more than a handful of Fuku bags? I'm so disappointed!
Was all the way to confirming my order after checking that I was not a robot. I had the green check mark. Then it said robots can't buy it. I'm sure I wasn't the only one screwed by Captcha. That really sucks. Fucked me over yesterday on mobile, but at least got through on my tablet.
Hot damn I got one! I could not be more excited. Shout out to my fellow Clashers. Without you guys I'd probably never remember Meh o'clock ...and be very bored. This site and our clan has kept me throughly entertained. Here's to another year!
Seriously though you guys really need a captcha system? You got a lot of robots buying out fukus?? I've never hated captchas as much as I do right now.
@katylava UM, well I'm not a robot. I don't know how many times I have to keep telling people this. Maybe you could have a check box in the account page that confirms that YES you indeed have my CC info, YES I have been a member for over 300 days, YES I have bought multiple things, and NO I am not a robot? So your oldest customers don't get fucked out of a fuku because of captcha errors? Or are there a lot of robots with VMP that have been around since the beginning and bought multiple things and been active in discussions?
@Romulux And all that means nothing when so-called loyal customers could write a script to buy without actually being here and loading the page. Do you really think there's a fucking mass of robots running around trying to buy things? No. The "robots" are customers who want to buy coveted, limited edition things with no effort. You and your purchases do not make you special here.
@studerc I dunno why you think I think I'm important, but I was really just looking for an answer and I got it. I haven't gotten in on a single fuku, so being on time but denied multiple times with a captcha kinda sucks.
@Romulux it's kinda lose-lose for us... No captcha = lots of comments about how people didn't get a fuku because the bots got them all... Captcha = comments about difficulties with the captcha.
@Romulux And a crazy meh-addicted person is just as likely to have a bot written that automatically buys things with fukubukuro in the title as anybody. It's just the sad reality of it. What meh SHOULD do is have a stupidly expensive item that somehow triggers buy bots by including the term "fukubukuro" and, that day only, requires an email to customer support for a cancellation, on approval (if you bought in the first few seconds, tough).
@katylava I got the easy version. I checked the box and hit the buy button about 5 times as it told me I need to confirm that I'm not a robot. When it finally registered that I had checked the box and wasn't a robot it was already sold out.
Yeah! 2 minutes. Well, three minutes now. But,but I actually had a chance at this! That's amazing for me! I never got one of those things at the other place,(and after the first year or two, thank goodness for that!), but I had a chance of getting one the first year, and possibly the best year, here! So I was ThatClose, and that's pretty cool to me. My friends The WestCoast Meh'ers, also have a chance of missing it two minutes after their midnight. My guidance counselor would be so proud of me!
Wow sold out ? ? ? That's not fair for some of us die-hards that buy a lot of that stuff that we really don't need . Now something to put some of that stuff in and it's sold out in 6 minutes. Kinda disappointed...... Don't think it's fair ......
@paulie0717 Don't fret about the bag itself. I used it for a week with barely anything in it and the grommets started ripping out. Cool to have, just not cool to use.
BTW...ummm...props to @shawn and the rest of the crew. That was the smoothest Fuku to date. Honestly, people shouldn't complain so much, in the past people had to wait hours for disappointment, you only had to wait about 60 seconds. Thanks, @shawn you da real MVP.
Upon getting the text, I yelled "FUKUBUKURO!", jumped off of the couch, ran to my computer, actually got to the page that shows my payment info, clicked the stupid box to show that I'm not a robot, and...
...and...
...no dice. It was only 12:02 by the time I'd realized I was definitely not getting one. I am confident that I was on the payment info page before 12:02.
Not cool. I'm not upset that I didn't get one, as it's just stuff. I'm upset that actually tried and failed.
Happy Birthday Meh! You have absolutely terrorized my sleep pattern and tempted my bank account day in and day out :) Today I snagged my first Fuku bag, my life is complete. Here's to many more awesome years.
I'm guessing I was one of the very first losers to miss out. (It was still 10:00 when I hit the final purchase button. But when it finally finished processing, just after my clock rolled over to 10:01, I had a message telling me they were sold out instead of the beautiful confirmation page. I blame my phone for the precious seconds I lost loading chrome. And I officially hate all of you. At least for the next hour or so.
Scored a fuku the old-fashioned way (like almost everyone here), refreshing like hell at the stroke of midnight. Haters gonna hate. Oh, and.. warlike-eternal-quartz
I'm in the hospital on drugs and connected to a shitty-ass WiFi connection tunnelled to my office PC, and still I scored a bag. That, or I am hallucinating.
@Romulux Yes. The reason they do that is to prevent someone from creating a script to auto-buy the fuku without having an actual person involved. Regardless if you have a credit card on file or not is meaningless to determine if you are a script or an actual person buying it.
Hope you all enjoy your next year of captchas, garbage batteries, speaker docks, stupid flying shit, and inevitable disappointment when the next fuku 6 months from now sells out in 20 seconds.
@shawn Wow, thanks for the response, what a great feeling being insulted by one of the biggest dogs in the meh.com family. Thanks for singling me out, such an honor!
i was on my way home from work and decided to check and of course when im not home and im on my phone in the middle of BFE theres a fuku, i saw it availiable but didnt have enough connection to actually get one :(
Today is my birthday too and of course I get screwed out of yet another fuku even though I hit it at 11 sharp every single night. You still rock don't get me wrong but damnit hook up a loyal ass member already instead of making me a jealous angry bitch
I got so lucky. I had to login. I forgot my password and had to try several times. I then realized that I had my old debit card information put in. My new one hasn't arrived in the mail yet, however Meh accepted my old card number, probably because it hasn't been completely "deactivated" yet. I got the confirmation email and $10 is out of my bank account, so I'm good to go!
I got one from my account and one from my wife's account. This is good news for anyone that really wants one. When it gets listed on Ebay, we'll find out just how badly you REALLY wanted one...
Actually, her account got caught in that son-of-a-bitch captcha bullshit about bread and birthday cake and my robot couldn't figure it out in time. Stupid robot.
@capguncowboy That's pretty much what happened here. I got mine, but I couldn't get one for my husband in time. We only had the check box, no weird stuff, but I took too long to load his page because I was scared I'd miss it on mine. At least we got one! Streak unbroken!
I kinda miss the old days on Woot where people would claim that they are a loyal customer and their square would show that they have less than 5 purchases in a two or three year time period. I do love the people claiming they should get a fuku because they have a meh button streak going, whole lot of money for Meh in that.
On my bucket list that one day before I die I will actually score one of these. Did't happen at woot. Not here yet either. Signed, Old guy with slow technology
@samnrick I had slow tech until Amazon sent me a new laptop to review, but I managed to get my first BOC before my tech got upgraded. Hint re: woot... hang out in the forums during a woot-off and if you miss a BOC, check out the forum thread for the BOC. There will be some hints there about how you can get the next one that pops up, and they pop up a BUNCH of times during woot-offs now.
@djslack I was invited into Amazon's Vine reviewer program about 7 years ago. I get to select items out of a perpetually updating queue and got lucky when it updated offering me a Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 laptop at the end of March. It's an invite-only program they initiated shortly before I got my invite, and I guess I got lucky. I'd only written a few reviews before I got the invite, but people found the ones I wrote to be helpful. It helped that I'd been a beta tester for the Kindle 1 and was able to post an extremely detailed review of it the day they released it. I've linked the laptop review in this reply.
@CircaRigel Nice. I used to post helpful, detailed reviews back when I started using Amazon, but I had stopped well before the Vine program came out. It seems like a nice idea, but then I remember how I don't get enough done as it is.
Edit: i just thought I posted detailed reviews. Wow. You earned that laptop :)
@djslack Thanks. I'm just a geek with insatiable curiosity, and I guess my getting carried away with pursuing those questions I come up with paid off when it came to writing reviews.
@capguncowboy posts like this are what makes the fuku dealio the most annoying. "Stop bitching geesh, here buy mine on ebay" i can respect reselling stuff but this is a cock slap to the face. Congrats regardless
Disclaimer: ok so not your post now but in general lol
@capguncowboy The complaint, as best I can articulate it, is that those who obsess over this site, but don't set their alarms to 11:59pm, have no hope whatsoever of reaping one of the prime objective of Meh'ers.
The '2nd Tier' fans get little meaningful hope of ever benefiting from the bennies of this site.
Im done meh. Fell asleep 2 minutes befor 12 and woke up 15 min later and its all over. And im still pissed the one time your website crashed and i missed out. Ughhhh
I have a sneaking suspicion that Meh isn't planning on only selling 620 of these today. Maybe they'll post up some more later. Keep checking people -- you don't want to miss out!
Last time you had a meh day #4 one, 88390 of you visited. 39% on a phone, 7% on a tablet. We sold 1129 of these. 6425 clicked meh. That's $6059 total. 95.42% of you didn't bite before we sold out at 1:53 am ET. this time sold 619 in one minute - a lot less in even less time -- meh :(
Screw you meh! The one time I can't buy it because of payroll issues and getting sidetracked by mild drama at like 10:30 and it's the new fuku! I knew it would be though, and as much as I like the idea of this I'll probably be happier with yesterday's shirt
@PurplePawprints I saw that in the thread. How the heck would someone get a Fuku and accidentally cancel is beyond me. I mean, you have to still be in the order placed dialog to do that, and you have to click at least two separate links! Unless they decided their best bet was to order every meh that comes up, in hopes that it will be a Fuku, and got in the habit of cancelling right away when it wasn't a fuku, and did it by rote w/o paying attention.
@PurplePawprints@CircaRigel earlier when I woke my phone up, it was on the orders page where I had last verified to make sure my order went through. As I went up to close the tab, my thumb brushed near the Cancel link on the page and I almost fainted. Thankfully I didn't click it.
I wasn't going to say anything but what the heck, I'll join the rest of the whiners. I guess since I'm not in CA, TX nor NY I missed out on the 1% that Meh allocated to the rest of the world. I was here slightly before midnight, refreshed the browser and was greeted with the sold out notification. I'm actually legitimately interested in the actual percentages sold to each state. And I wonder if I can convince Mediocre Labs to start the Fukus at 8PM EST to see if that has an effect on who purchases them? I highly doubt it, but it's interesting to think about...
@marvelljones I'm on the east coast, in fucking West By God Virginia, of all places, and managed to get one. It's not a location issue, really. Those states with higher populations sell more. It's crazy, I know.
@PurplePawprints Still sticking with my earlier suspicions. If population were a factor FL should have gotten more than NY. Only around 20% of FL is "old people, " so that shouldn't be a factor. You were lucky and got part of the "1%" I mentioned. If population were a factor then there should not have been any left for you, since WV is 38th in total population in the US. And please look at a map, you are in the eastern US but definitely not on the east coast unless VA and MD are severely flooded.
@marvelljones See the colored-in county closest to the center of Nebraska? That's me. Nobody else from my county has ever ordered from here. Usually there is only 3 or 4 in my whole state. Despite that, I've never had any trouble buying Fukus, or any other item on meh. When you're only dealing with 600 sales, you're not going to see an even distribution that corresponds with state populations. You're talking an average of 12 sales per state.
@marvelljones You can stick with your suspicions, but it doesn't make them right. Yes, I was 'lucky' and I never said I wasn't. That doesn't change the fact that population does factor into it. States with higher populations have more people trying for Fukus, therefore, more people in those states get lucky and snag one. That doesn't stop people in other states from being able to get them, though. It does have a lot to do with the speed of your internet and device, though.
Also, I can get to the beach in less than two hours and have to worry about the occasional hurricane, so I'm pretty sure it's okay that I consider myself on the East Coast. I'm closer to the ocean than I ever was growing up in Virginia. Since I live here and all, I'm pretty sure I know where it is on the map. But hey, you just read West Virginia and decided to condescend, right?
"Congratulations, you won a mystery bag! Even though we were sold out, you clicked on the 'buy' button 1000 times, and we like to reward that kind of stupidity! Check your in box and spam folder for a confirmation email.
Exactly what I needed after the stress of the past 3 weeks... First, an uninsured teenager runs a stop sign and totals my car (when ricocheted off her vehicle, went down a 50 ft. deep embankment, through a fence, and into a house). My 7-month-old Shiloh Shepherd service dog in training would have gone through the windshield and been killed had I not been paranoid and made him wear a seat belt harness. Then, the replacement car my mom helped me get ended up having a dead a/c compressor, and finally last week, my puppy Galen nearly died again when he developed a severe case of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis.
REALLY hoping this Fuku has some good stuff in it! Plus it's my first Fuku!
I don't understand! Was online on Meh at 12:00 am. Big Sold Out sign was up. Said it sold out at 12:06 am. How is that possibly possible????????? Oh yeah !! Fuku!
Ok, for all the lucky folks who got one, be kind to us others(who did not) and tell us all about the treasures you received. That we didn't. So we can stop being jealous, or maybe more so.
Alright, I'd like to at least live vicariously through you guys. I understand the premise of a Fuku bag, but what the heck is likely to actually be in it based on past experience? I'm 0/5 :(
@Portlis there's lots of threads of fuku reveals, but generally it's a ton of stuff that didn't sell or was left over for warranty purposes, with occasionally awesome or humorous items (say, a TV or 40 containers of play-dough).
@carl669 I thought about adding the "you", but since I wasn't on the site when the fuku went up I couldn't hold Meh. responsible. Now, had I been on and didn't get one, you bet it would have read "Fuck You, Meh!" ;)
unfortunately, my trips to the bathroom were at 11:36 pm and 4:15 am, so no fuku for me. not surprised, I've never snagged one, and if it is always on a weeknight at midnight, I probably never will.
Sigh... After dealing with flu symptoms for the past week and a half it finally caught up to me last night and I passed out a bit early. I was so exhausted I wasn't even able to set my alarm for a quick wake up for midnight as I had a feeling there might be a Fuku. Up at 5:15 for work this morning to see I missed it. My (non-kickstarter) Fuku/Fuko streak is over. Unless of course y'know, @JonT or @Mehcus or one of you guys or girls wants to show some love.
Yeah I set the alarm for 11:59, had it in my cart, fucked up on the robot captcha and then couldn't sleep from my own excitement and subsequent disappointment...meh birthday meh!
You guys should just change your name to Meh California because those are the only folks who actually get the decent stuff. East Coast residents who want to sleep need not apply.
@cengland0 Damnit. I knew I should of googled it so I didn't look like a complete moron. I'll blame it on having to stay up until midnight two nights in a row.
@thebrowncoat Keep in mind that California is never really accurate, because all of the overseas Meh shoppers use reshippers based in Cali. So in Korea, where Meh has a huge fan base and where the product flips at something like 2 p.m., everyone checks at work and then California lights up when they buy it. This is as comforting as tomato soup on a snowy day as the dog snoozes in front of the fireplace, I hope.
Common man if your gonna do this shit atleast have enough to go around for more then a minute what a fuccing tease ...run something special for members only yeah we get free shipping on shit items and i appreciate that really but make us feel special maybe once a month even if you dont mean it dammit !!!
been waiting for a fuku for months but alas. in the eleventh hour Borderlands and alcohol distracted me. I have failed at the one thing that matters most to me: acquiring bags of random crap of questionable value. my sorrow knows no bounds.
on a brighter note, happy birthday meh. here's a haiku I wrote:
fukubukuro: very mediocre things still elude my grasp.
I grabbed one and went to check out where it insisted I was a robot (after I checked that I wasn't one), a reload later it was sold out. Same with my brother. Was there an issue with bad robot detection (Capache)?
@StrangerDanger sorry for you I was able to get one even though I was at least 15 seconds late to actually hit the 12:00 moment, but I got in smoothly selected 2 hamburgers and I was on my way, but I tried to help out my sis and log her in and buy one for her and before I could even log in it was sold out
@TehChrisReed This got my attention. Who in the world would buy a fuku and then cancel on it? I feel bad for whoever it was that desperately needed that $5 after all.
I guess the only one I've missed was the fukobukuro, because it kept insisting my credit card wasn't mine (not that I'm bitter), so technically my streak of fukubukuros is still alive. And that's a way better streak than Meh faces, right?
Like so many other (tired) East Coasters, I've been diligently setting my alarm for 11:58 for the past week or so in the hopes of landing a fuku (would have been my 2nds after 318 total meh clicks; 293 in a row...)
And also like so many others, I stumbled up against the captcha button not appearing on the final screen, not once but twice. So on my 3rd and final attempt, the button appeared, I clicked to verify that in fact I was NOT a robot, only to find that I had snoozed and loozed, so to speak.
Sad part is, my heart was racing so fast and my disappointment was so deep, it took me over 2 hours to fall back to sleep. To others' earlier points, what the heck is so great about a $5 bag of random stuff!? Not sure, but I'm sure that I WANT it.
I've lived on the West Coast for my entire life prior to moving East 2 years ago. I can now officially add another bogey to the list of East Coast Irritants: Sunday/Monday night football games end too late, same for UFC, of course the humidity... and now the lack of sleep during Fuku week. At least I managed to score a tee yesterday, so I've got that going for me...
@bettynugs We should have had an online party; I did get a fuku, and then was too wired to get to sleep for hours. Today I'm dragging. However, I know that at 23:59 my hand will be poised, ready to strike. Again.
see, I cry unfair!!!! no one in Wyo got a fuku!!! cause we get sucky internet here. Nothin is fast enough.Cell service is swiss cheese, and ya.....we can use goat feed!!!! Happy Bday MEH!!! love ya
heroic-nutritious-ferret I got it using my phone while watching the movie Maggie with my wife. Sadly, getting my Fuku was 10 billion times more exciting than the movie.
so, what's the black market value of this f/u? unopened, video the opening, i pay shipping, you ship me your f/u, name your price before you know the contents :)
Wake up at 10:40. Decide to try and stay up until 11 to see what Meh is selling. Keep drifting in and out. See the clock on my tablet is at 10:59...10:59...11:00. Refresh! OMG Fuku! Buy! Aaaugh, no I am not a robot! Pick the pictures with cookies? Do you know how small these pictures are on my tablet? Do you know how sleepy and out of focus my eyes are? That one and that one and--oh crap, is that one cookies? There's no time to consider it! I'm going with just the two pictures and if I'm wrong there's no way I'll get a second chance before this thing sells out. Buy! Processing...processing...distrustful-lax-thistle! Woohoo, now back to my regularly-scheduled slumber.
@HELLOALICE I came out of a shower all relaxed and feeling super about the world, around 12.04… then I saw I missed a fuku and I just smashed every building on my street. I liked my neighbors, too, you know? But now they're just all flat, and there's all this brick dust in the air, and it's just like… why, Meh… why…
@smilingjack that is the standard "Placeholder" size and weight. Some then change when they actually start moving, others never do but the box is no where near the placeholder size and weight...
@RascalMJ The last Fukubukuro It was about a week later than what most people posted for me, I had to bug JonT to check for me... Then I got tracking information the next day, It was already in PA... Just delayed shipping information usually... I'd say nothing to worry about. Which is why I didn't tag him besides it's a few days later, I'm used to getting things about 1-2 weeks later, East coast and all. :)
@stryper2000 I've gotten shipping notification now- but it isn't due to arrive until the 20th (how will I survive that long?!) and still has placeholder size/weight.
@telepheedian@mattguyver as a guy who knows a thing or two about where this crap comes from I can honestly tell you that I have no idea. The random things we find in the warehouse sometimes are just nuts.
@MEHcus I was going to make a crack at the goat prize for @Studerc... :P Good to know they are all shipped! I always figure the longer to ship the less I have to buy to keep my record... Since Jan 1st... :)
@bruinscbr@studerc Don't worry guys, it's only been how many days... How long did you have to wait for your first one? @studerc how's that goat prize? I bet your Fukubukuro will show up first ;) BTW... mine is in processing too, but I'm pretty chill... I've had something on the way every day since January 1... I don't know if it's sad or awesome! (not ordered something every day, just something shipping/purchased but not in my hands yet.)
It seems that FedEx may have "lost" my Fuku between Kansas City and St. Louis... My shirt arrived without issue yesterday, and my Fuku was scheduled to arrive today, but the last scan was the arrival scan at KC on Monday. Now FedEx can't decide when they want to deliver it. Darn "smart"post. I'll see where it's at tomorrow and give FedEx a holler if it hasn't moved by tomorrow night.
I have come to find out I don't have a camera currently as my smartphone wasn't all that smart about water last month. Regardless I got my Fuku today in a nice well preserved box with no exterior damage!
In it contained: Fuku bag Confetti A Meh birthday hat SASE birthday card to send back to Meh Popeye throw blanket with sleeves which quickly turned into a battle between wife and cats over ownership for the winter months coming ahead Wedge Antilles action figure* Space precinct Office Castle action figure* Lucky spin scent roulette wheel * Rydis U60 Pro UV vacuum cleaner! and finally a Meta Watch Smartwatch!*
I was going to be getting a new smartphone next month anyways. Going to hang onto it and hope it works with the new android phone.
Once again, I am disappointed in not receiving a Meh Fukubukuro. I keep leaving, forced to recommend this site to my friends and internet, and making them jealous.
THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE MEH! Where is the Meh I know where I keep my VMP membership only because I feel too meh about canceling it?
But alas, because of the way I was raised, I have to thank you. I always look forward to seeing what I get in these. Thanks for the awesome things!

@thismyusername I should have clarified, there is a lot in a few of those pictures that were not things sent to me. I was just too lazy to get rid of them.
I wasn't expecting anything more than a fun but mediocre surprise, but I really got lucky this time!
I got a sphero 2.0! Which I totally wanted to buy for my nephew but didn't feel like I could quite afford when it was offered. Now I'm all set with a really awesome Christmas present for him!
Even without that I would have been happy.
I got a bluetooth speaker (that I'm keeping), an action figure, a Marvel toy that my nephew can stick on his bike helmet, a weird Christmas thing that my mom already claimed and some other things I can't think of right now.
1 watermelon Jolly Rancher messenger bag (perfect for the 5lbs of jolly ranchers I got yesterday). 1 realistic looking motion detection system security camera (this is not a functioning vedio camera) - that's what the box says. 1 roulette table car air freshener 1 stamped, self addressed bday card to meh 1 confetti/meh hat/noise maker 1 Fuku Bag 1 iCarly personalized deluxe planner 1 Dragonball GT Preparation VHS tape
and
1 Rhombus 21 Channel Hi-Fi Bluetooth Audio System - which sounds great!
I have never been more disappointed in my life at buying a randomized prize bag online.
I did enjoy the random more junky meh items, but of the bigger, expensive items I got the metawatch, and the N900 netgear router.
Two problems: first I completely lack a smart phone, tablet, anything; so the watch is effectively useless to me. The second larger problem, the router they sent to me is completely busted. Not even a full manual tftp firmware flash could get it working meaning the thing is broken regardless.
I realize meh had no idea how to tell if I could make use of that watch or not, but sending a broken router when I was thinking of getting one? Desire to use service shattering.
@Toriningen At no point were you promised anything other than "leftover consumer junk" and "Because make no mistake: this bag will be full of stuff you probably don't want and definitely don't need. You can't say we didn't warn you". I'm sorry you expected more, but if your expectations of a five dollar mystery box were not met, then the problem is with you and not the retailer.
@Toriningen just wait until you get a mystery bag from 'the place that lets you win a chance to buy something', or a woot bag o' crap... then you will look back fondly on your broken WNR4500 ;)
I bought the bag thinking I would enjoy only the bag, which was true. I was in the mindset of, "yeah, the bag is worth the 5 bux" and it sort of honestly was. Then I started seeing people getting things like Spheros, something so good I would buy an Android smart device just to use and I got mad let down. Entirely my fault? Sure is, does that stop me from feeling awful about my broken box of stuff? Sure doesn't.
Got my Fukubukuro yesterday. The box was rather large and I noticed it was leaking confetti. I ended up with some sweet loot! - 1 Green Lantern journal - 1 Alice in Wonderland journal set - 1 Wifi Video Baby Monitor - 1 VHS tape "Dragonball Z Fusion - Play for Time" - 1 Samsung 28-Inch Ultra High Definition (4k) LED Monitor (complete with damaged plastic housing) - 1 Meh. Fuku Bag (Awesomesauce) - 1 Meh. party hat - 1 blank Happy Birthday card addressed to meh. and stamped for mailing - 1 little party horn - Approximately 1000 or so pieces of paper confetti - 23 of those air packs for shipping Best part is that I was in the market for a new monitor for my gaming computer and now I don't have to wait for the next meh deal! This was a great Fukubukuro. #mehday

A couple thoughts to share about this stuff:
Thanks for the glass meh! I somehow managed to cut my thumb! I'm not sure how. I thought I was being super careful. The glass was once a wine glass I think.
Maybe I shouldn't have taken the Salacious Crumb figures out of their plastic bags. Oh well, they're only worth like 5 dollars each.
The pop kit thing seems pretty cool. "Needs only glueing" ....ehh maybe it'll just stay in that super cool bag it comes in.
Dear Meh!!! Happy Birthday!!! I must say that in all my years of purchasing random surprise bags, what I received from you for your birthday has taken the cake!!!!! I would love to include a picture but am not sure how too so here goes the inventory:
a Fozzy bear blue coffee mug (not broken and love it) an Iogear multi link Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad a book on Hollywood's Hot moms (hubby likes this) a pink lunch box (taken by daughter) A Meh red re usable Fuku bag cinch sac (love this) a National Geographic VHS video on The Explorers a Soundlogic Bluetooth Rechargeable Carry on Speaker (valued at $31.21) It works awesome!!!!! and now the BIG ITEM::::::::::: A HOMEDICS FULL BACK CUSHION WITH CUSTOM FIT MASSAGE WITH 4 SHIATSU MASSAGE NODES (absolutely perfect item) valued at $110.00... Nice...
Overall, thank you Meh for the wonderful year and here's to many more!!!!!
Wow! I was away when my package arrived. I was keeping track of its weight, which went from 3 lbs to 23.9 lbs. I was thinking 20 lbs of coal, but what a surprise I got! Here's what was in the box: - A 29 inch Samsung Ulta HD monitor that works and looks brand new! Also:
- 1 Green Lantern journal - 1 Meh. Fuku Bag - 1 Meh. party hat - 1 Cat-in-the-hat bobble head - 1 Napoleon Dynamite garbage can - 1 Rocket Night Light - 1 blank Happy Birthday card addressed to meh. and stamped for mailing! Thank you and Happy Birthday MEH!!
My Fuku arrived while I was on vacation. Just got home and here is the loot:
1 Enormous box 1 Party hat 1 Party horn 1 bday card - hitting the mail tomorrow 1 Hardcover Hollywood Moms coffee table book - woo woo 1 Fuku bag 1 iCarly personalized deluxe planner 1 Giant felt Fairly Odd Parents coloring kit 1 Eragon lunch box 1 Pair JLAB Bombbora over ear headphones 1 Spereo - not sure what it is yet, but looks cool Lots of confetti Lots of Texas air
Not a bad haul to soften the blow of returning from vacation
I've seen my fair share of bad sci-fi, but I have no recollection of this show at all! It was interesting seeing the human sized Yoda police officer in the opening sequence. I would half expect a guy in a Vader mask and light saber to pop up somewhere in the show.

@KevinKevinKevin put the jar in the /resourcepacks folder
@KevinKevinKevin Just curious... Did you opt out of the Fuku just so you could be the first poster? or did you get one?
@Willijs3 It's only a failure if I don't get at least 20 stars.
YES THANK YOU MEHNNIVERSARY!

Hey @snapster, please feel free to sneak one of those DJI Inspire 1's in to my bag! LMAO!
@ruouttaurmind My clock had JUST rolled over to 10:01 when it finished processing my purchase and told me they'd already sold out.
@christinewas Same boat as you. I had just finished processing my order and went back to the meh page and saw it was already sold out.
@ruouttaurmind we all got f... Tonight it seems:( unhappy birthday to us 😫
@AttyVette same here. Now you see it, now you don't.
Got it. And I was driving. Just had to pull over.

@studerc I'm in your club, sir. There can't be too many in this here club.
@capguncowboy **knocks on wood. Yea man, it feels good, I almost feel honored. I haven't scored a big one yet, but I feel that my odds should be improving.
@studerc Just hope that when you hit it big, it isn't fake security cameras. I couldn't even give those things away! Well, then I gave them to someone on the forums for some sort of college project. Not sure what that was about, but I like to think that somewhere out there, there is a car with 25 fake security cameras mounted to it.
@studerc I'm in this elite club as well. Feels good, feels real good!
@studerc I'm 3 for 3, but somehow was oblivious to the original kickstarter and first few months of Meh. I'll take the streak I'm on, however.
@studerc send me a sling bag. I care not for the contents--just the back pack!
@connorbush email mehexchange@gmail.com and Ill send you one! Ive got a few lying around at the moment i believe.
@studerc i was sad I missed the fanny pack one that was the keeper
@sp3ar want one? Ive got an extra. If so, follow the above instructions and we can make it happen.
I demand another Aliens 3 toy along with a lunchbox.
OMG I finally got one! I thought it was just a myth...
wow they were gone in a minute!
Yay! sparse-tinted-iron
@ACraigL Wanted to throw an image to match my order number, but they were all about makeup or something. So here's this:
Wtf. Clicked I'm not a robot and already sold out
Your order number is: abundantly-Georgia-scarlet
sooooooo close.
@jrwofuga They saved that order number just for you.
Fucking bullshit. Did everything right without wasting any time and still get fucked. I must have been the first guy to not get one.
@tombroadcaster
@tombroadcaster sore loser
amicable-baffled-siren. Yes!!!!!!
12:01 SOLD OUT WHAT
@RachelDanger27 yup happened to me too... oh well
WOW that went super fast.

I guess if I kept guessing, I'd have to get it right eventually.

wow how the beep! did i not get in? !!! i think i was 3 seconds late
Under 2 mins. Wow
Holy hell those go fast. In the time it took Amazon to sign me back in they were gone.
Oh my god I got in. Unbelievable. I tried 3 times before I realized I had to click the "not a robot" checkbox.
Sold out at 12:06 but it's still only 12:02. What's up?!?!?!
@cengland0 I saw that, too. They've fixed the time on it now, though.
@cengland0 Yeah I saw that too. Selling out in a minute makes it no longer worth staying up for. Oh well. They now make it such a crap shoot not worth my time as the odds are too low. I had been sort of hoping they'd give the VMP a gift on their birthday. Probably too many of us to do that for too at this point. I guess they like growth but we have just lost something I find that is valuable - which is a fair chance to win a fuku and not having to click exactly at midnight and even then you might lose out.
@Kidsandliz Wow, way to turn this into the Woot forum. Happy Meh birthday to you too.
@editorkid Hey they gave us permission to bitch in the description... not my fault it is like woot with respect to getting one now. On the up side they have appeared to have fixed the website crashing problem in a fuku LOL
@Kidsandliz what do you want, lame ass where's waldo like woot? The last two sold out in a minute or two also. This is not a change. If you want one, open your browser and sign in five minutes before, and start hammering refresh at 11:59. Every night.
@givemeyoursoul Was signed in like others were and had the same issues as some others did. Might be worthwhile not to make assumptions and engage in name calling. While this site allows the use of swear words, typically nasty language and name calling isn't directed at others. Perhaps you haven't noticed that most people do not flame others here.
@givemeyoursoul my apologies. I see you were calling where's Waldo lame ass not me. I was tired and presumed a comma where there wasn't one.
@Kidsandliz Oh I know. And honestly since Meh pretty much is the soul of our former favorite shopping site, the tradition must continue. I was just continuing the other tradition, the people who complain about the complaining...
@Kidsandliz Like I had said before, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't fix the server crashes. It's just crap, be happy for the winners and better luck next time or go to bed. More Fukus is not the solution, because it will be too easy and each will have so little value that they will be guaranteed to be completely useless. Meh might as well just print a picture of a red bag on a quarter million sheets of paper and ship that as the next Fuku. Everybody will be ecstatic they got one, but nobody will be happy with what they get.

SOLD OUT IN ONE MINUTE?
HOW
ARGGHHHH!!!!!!
Oh fuck yes. Great start to year #2! trashy-impatient-fish
got it, sweet, hopefully i get the wallet everyone else got but me last time :P
or a vacuum would be nice, since i got zero right now crosses fingers
though what i really want is barbie doll accessorize for my non-existent barbie dolls.
Wow wtf is going on. I clicked refresh, saw it was a bag. Clicked buy that shit right away. Got the pop up. Click robot. Oh shit I gotta match some pictures, choose the cheeseburgers fast man holy shit.
Click verify. Good. Click Purchase. Two bars. Works. See Order. Click it. Its listed on order page. Go back to front page. Sold out. 619 total.
And I missed out on the last 2 or 3 from laggy servers or bad timing sleeping. Hopefully this will be my glory bag.
I hate how excited I am getting over fukubukuro
I'm really, really not a robot. Some people take a lot of convincing- but I GOT ONE!
"Before we sold out at 12:06 Eastern" (it's only 12:03 now)

HOW DID U SELL OUT IN THE FUTURE
@kidlebron hahaha i saw that same thing
@kidlebron we sold out so quick it broke our clocks. looks like it's fixed now.
gone in minute?!?
Hmmmm. Clicked the not a robot, it never changed to purchase. Oh well, congrats and hope it is awesome!
My streak is alive! Still haven't missed a Fuku yet!
@ABitterWoman same here!!! good luck on ur fuku!
@ehanda Good luck to you too! :D
@ABitterWoman as is mine, minus the Kickstarter Fukubukuro
YES 5 for 5!!!!!!!!!!
@ehanda It's kind to be humble, remember that.
I'm a happy VMP noob! Got my first bag! Happy birthday Meh! :D
DAMMIT! Was all set and then I misclicked outside of the ordering window and killed my order....grrrrrrrr!
Happy birthday, meh!
There goes my super cool fuku streak. Now i've missed one :( Oh well,next time
@Bogie I'll just point out that the bag itself is a repeat (of one I missed!), so at least your fuku bag collection remains complete. And isn't branded merchandise what's really important?
I missed it because when you click on the item on the front page and sign in, it brings you BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE. WHY MEH, WHY? :((((((((
@HELLOALICE sob
aww yisssss
major-independent-underwear
@Thumperchick Good morning....
WTF
I got an error on that stupid fucking captcha and I'm 99% sure it lost me this fuku. I'm done. Cancelling VMP right now.
@Romulux
@Romulux Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
@Romulux
@hems79 I won't. :)
Really stoked, got one and am so proud to be a member of meh VMP today.
After several failed attempts at previous Fukus (and other grab bags which shall not be named), this will be my first EVER of these items of any kind.
I cannot wait for the mediocrity!
Congrats all and happy birthday meh!
That was fun. Got one!
traceable-immense-liver
@baqui63 Ironically, that's not an immense liver at all. It's actually a very nicely sized and shaped liver. I say this as I currently have a patient under my camera 20 feet away that has a particularly immense and oddly shaped liver. Cool pic though.
@cinoclav large liver, small world...
Of all the times for Adobe Flash to hang, freezing my browser...
@Rowsdower Flash is so last-decade. I don't install it and most sites now use HTML5. There were so many security holes in flash anyway.
@cengland0 don't worry, they have a patch for that, then a patch for the patch, then a patch for the patch for the patch, then a patch for the patch for the patch, oh and have some mcafee crapware while you are at it ;)
@cengland0 I despise Flash and eagerly await its along-overdue demise. But when I recently disabled it in Chrome, I was disappointed/horrified by the quantity of content – from video streams to UI – rendered inaccessible in 2015.
As infuriating as these plugin crashes are, constantly needing to fall back on my secondary browser (just to load one of those Flash-dependent websites) was even more inconvenient.
@Rowsdower Any site that still requires flash to run should have their developers fired. It's difficult to get flash on mobile devices like iPhones, iPads, and Androids and the majority of people are using portable devices as their primary browsing method.
Look at today's stats for an example: 48% on a phone, 7% on a tablet. That's more than half of the visits are using a device that doesn't support Flash.
@cengland0 I agree, of course. Unfortunately, it seems that many websites omit Flash-dependence strictly in their mobile versions.
I suppose that I could spoof a mobile user agent string, but that would cause problems of its own.
Thank you for a wonderful year, and a bunch of t-shirts which are in a box somewhere, but which I keep buying. Thank you most of all for utilizing the drawstring backpack, which has haunted my dreams since I missed out on it! I'm the happiest obsessive-compulsive hoarder in the world right now!
@mossygreen fabled-rickety-sidecar:
You guys are as bad as Woot. No way for a reasonable person to get one.
@pernst I beg to differ. There were over 600 "reasonable" people who just managed to buy one.
@pernst good thing I'm unreasonable.
trendy-unguarded-cat
@PurplePawprints I was one of them!
@pernst
Sold out in < 1 minute?!
And WTF with the captcha anyway? I'm LOGGED IN, how much more human-verification do you need?
@kensey exactly what a robot would say.
@kensey Its not about stopping spammers, it's about stopping logged in meh users that wrote fuku-snarfing bots.
At 12:03 it says it sold out at 12:06! Amazing!
@Teripie Oh come on... you didn't find the secret link? Bummer.
12:01 and I see SOLD OUT! Damn that is fixed!
dang 1 minute late and sold out fuku
afraid-fluorescent-wilderness Yay!!! I'd also missed the "I'm not a robot" with my first click. Oops!

Images not post-worthy.
Mannnn, 1 minute later when I checked, all sold out. Don't you wanna treat your VMPs better than that?
I hated you when you were bag of crap and I hate even more now.
mouthy-bald-playground
Well, not this time...
Happy birthday, Meh! I got one, but my husband didn't. He shall be sad when he finds out tomorrow.
I was the 4th person to buy it to getting sold out in 2 mins!!! That alone, oddly, feels my 5 dollars' worth.
@nousabyss Same here, I had to reenter my address and I missed it. :(
srsly?
Sold out in a minute?
BLEH.
hate getting locked out of these things
flattering-stereotyped-puffin
First fuku!
Happy Birthday Meh! Kind-Shrill-Spring
yo dang can i just get the bag for like $10?
@aj @Starblind says, "NO!". what a meanie.
you sold out in less than 1 minute? that's bullshit. good thing I didn't want one
got one (my first)! and today my longest streak got to 300!
DAMN IT. I got the order page but it wouldn't take my damn order.
This is what I get for casually checking meh at 9:02
Sold out in a minute. I didn't click the I'm not a robot button at first, yet I still got one!
Wow!
Happy Birthday and a day meh!
benevolent-winning-monkey
MehDay!
daffy-tailored-seal
victory is mine!
They claim sold out at 12:06 - umm don't think so. Sold out at 12:01
HOLY BALLS I ACTUALLY GOT ONE. Never was able to snag a BoC over many, many tries, and always missed the Fuku bags too. Happy days and happy birthday, meh!
Haphazard-shady-rail!
This is what I get for casually checking meh at 9:02
Lost on yesterday's shirt deal, but stayed up and uh, won tonight? Oh well, assured-delicious-suggestion !
Hope there are snacks!
But we all know it's really just knives and speakerdocks all the way down.
I beat the meh tracker and still didn't get one.
@Romulux i looked at the clock at refreshed at 11:59:59
I really think this is some sort of unicorn. I hear legend that it exists and yet I have no actual concrete proof. Sigh.
I lucked out and got a vacuum in the last one. I can't wait to see what this one brings.
Screwed by recaptcha reloading 3 times. I hate you meh.
near-honored-destruction
Yessss Fukubukuro!!! Happy #MehDay and Happy Birthday Meh!
uneasy-arbitrary-person
Gah, same thing... new captcha did me in. Clock hadn't even clicked to 9:01 pm yet! (PT)
Holy crap I got one!! ardent-candid-base
Not going to find a picture for my gripping-unadvised-wood. Just sayin'
@petek We all thank you for that. Sincerely.
Captcha Fucked me!
@Dopepeddler No shit...say, you got some dope I can buy?
1 freaking minute??!!! And what was with that stupid "I'm not a robot" verification thing??!! It delayed me for a few seconds so I missed the fukubukuro??!!! What a crappy way to start my day. Pissed off.
@emt305 yes, you were the only one that got the i am not a robot verification, and that's why you missed it.
That was nice. Once I told it I wasn't a robot I received no buy it button.
@marklog Me too. I'm pissed.
Awwww I forgot to check the not a robot button, and sold out while I reclicked to buy! Heart-broken, non-robot. (_)
@marnakangas Robots are notorious for forgetting to click the "I am not a robot" button. Robot!
I hadn't been around Meh much the past months and was bummed to miss the shirt yesterday. By chance I was awake tonight and saw Fuku on my phone alert from twitter. Can't believe I managed to get one! Probably not worth the $10 but at least some excitement in my life since the embolisms in May in a good way.
@Outofmehmind $10? Most of us only paid $5. Perhaps if you had VMP you wouldn't have had to pay for shipping. ($3483 / 620 = $5.62 on average because some Texans pay tax too)
@cengland0 Well I had VMP for 6 months or so. I dropped it when my old CC expired and I suffered 13 blood clots in my lungs and right side heart failure or cor pulmonale . I was out of work for months as well.
@Outofmehmind THAT is a valid reason to cancel VMP. Get better.
@Outofmehmind Good god, that's like breaking a chain letter level of bad luck. But now you may or may not have turned it around with a fuku! Yay!
@mossygreen Well I would like to think my luck changed back in May when I survived something I was told I shouldn't have probably not have. Then again I quit smoking after 25 years in February and if I hadn't I wouldn't have for sure. From about the 3rd day in the hospital I had hope I would pull through this and with each day better than before. Not even a week passed and I honestly felt better than I had in weeks prior and when I left the hospital I felt better than I had in months. Turns out I had many warning signs, I was just stupid and ignored them. Then followed weeks of rest and walking, when I could, to get my strength up. The real issue was and is still to some point my wife is disabled with MS. She draws no disability still however so I was the only provider for the family. 2 months of part time work due to feeling bad followed by 6 weeks of completely no work followed by now 3 weeks part time work left us in a situation where I have stacks of bills, letters of threaten to evict and little money for anything spectacular. I learned the hard way in all of this that the only person who will take care of you is yourself. Get off your butt , go to work and survive. Or die trying.
I went from a person who only took a Aleve per day to someone who takes 16 pills a day including a water pill, potassium, beta blockers, blood thinners, pain medication and more.
I went from a person who stopped at Arby's most days for a few roast beef to a person that can't have the sodium in one roast beef sandwich over a entire days intake.
I went from a person who would stay up days at a time even at the age of 42 and drink 2 liters of soda a day to a person who sleeps 8+ hours every 20 ( and a odd schedule now due to that sudden tiredness ) and only drinks a can a day.
Most of all I went from a person who thought they were invincible to someone who now knows they were dead before and truly alive now and life is a gift that should never be wasted.
I am not sure how I managed to get a Fuku. I wasn't on Meh when it came up, or even at my computer. I did have my phone beside me and was able to get to the computer and come to the site to hit the button. Oddly enough even though I had not purchased anything in 4.5 months I was logged in. more odd it had my new CC info already entered. There must have been something I almost purchased in the previous months for that to happen, but I honestly cannot remember.
I'd like to think my luck has changed far earlier than this night and this Fuku. After all I've had Fukus and BoC's before and lucky was hardly ever the case when receiving one. The draw is the days and weeks wondering just what craziness is involved.
I expect a bag in which my cats will play in such as last time, and maybe some more stickers that I can place on my desk and even though I do not drink coffee I still drink milk out of my creepy cup with the ceramic spider in the bottom. I used the leak frog from the last one in a remodel I did over the winter to give a homeowner some peace of mind. It saved his bathroom from damage and my a claim a few months back. When I got that Fuku back in November I remember being slightly mad at the crappy things inside even though I hadn't expected anything grand. At the time it all seemed so useless but despite that it in the long run gave me and my pets enjoyment and even saved me from costly damage on a job I did.
I expect nothing more this time either, but I do expect no matter what crappy things reside inside that box, that should I be alive I will be happy and if not, someone will get a good confused laugh from the matter.
@Outofmehmind -
Amen.
I have a feeling your delivery will be well worth the $10.
@Outofmehmind
thank you for sharing. inspired.
I looked at my clock and saw it was 11 so I head on over here and get here at 11:01 and see the sold out sign because it's fukubukuro. Do you guys just sit on your computers at 10:59 every day waiting in case it's one of these? And only offering 620 of these then huh, like honestly fuck off
@tlampe38
@editorkid The lesser they offer the higher quality they can offer. Better luck next time.
@tlampe38 "Do you guys just sit on your computers at 10:59 every day waiting in case it's one of these?"
Sadly, yes we do. We really do.
@tlampe38 yes.. I pause the movie or show I am watching and wander to the desktop at 10:59 and JAM the f5 key until the background changes.
@tlampe38 Yes, yes I do.
@tlampe38
@tlampe38 Yes, many of us just sit on our computers at 10:59 every day, but not just in case it's one of these.
@tlampe38 I must have gotten one because I checked at 9. Also sitting by a computer to buy stuff is sooooooo 2010.
@hems79 Don't ya all have some work to do?
@mick Actually yes: Because of that my laptop was sitting right next to me when the alert came. I even struggled with the captcha and had to do it over. Still managed to get one which never happened on w00t.
Damn verifier kept acting up crap
minimalist-motley-acoustic First ever!
Thank you Meh... Now I can get a solid few days of slee.... wait... We still have a baby that is teething... @studerc if you're getting any sleep now... it gets worse... Just a FYI... Teething is hell...
@sohmageek Getting some decent sleep at the moment. Pretty much hating the idea of teething...fuck that shit.
@studerc if your wife is nursing she will hate even more the idea of babies with teeth LOL
@studerc we need a babies.meh.com. :p. Baby gates are a pita but a nessisary evil. Raylan just learned how to do stairs.
There are so many awesome things. Like he also just learned to clap by himself.
I guess I can't complain too much (loudly) about sleep and teething. He is almost 10 months. In that time we've probably had 8.5 months of hm sleeping through the night. But as you probably know that doesn't mean we got 8.5 months of good sleep :p
Woo hoo! Finally got one! Happy mehday!
So sad. I clicked buy now, but it booted me between then and the time I was signed in with my name. Wished it would have saved my purchase when I clicked to buy.
VMP = Very MAD Person
I am on the East Coast too!!!
12:01 !!!!!!!
@bchrist825 do what I do. Load it up on 3 devices. It freezes and shit on them but whichever finishes first is awesome. Phone loaded meh.com 2nd but loaded the buy screen 1st. Mac did meh.com 1st buy 2nd but completed the sale. Pc was fucking useless but it tried.
Woot... er I mean Woo Hoo! I got one!
O!!! M!!! G!!!
face shirts and now this????? you all rock!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEH!!!!!!
Thank you Meh!!!! Been with you since day one (actually before day one if you count early support). !!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
It's a festivus miracle! I have never gotten a BOC or Fuku before....and I have an order #! Fingers crossed.!!!
FFFUUUUUUUUUUU...this stupid emergency con call at work distracted me.
WHO CARES IF NOBODY IN ASIA CAN LOG IN, I MISSED MY FUKUBUKURO!
@Sapper that will teach you to have a jerb and be responsible.
@Sapper its ok, those 15 minutes of work generated more value then a fuku bag. I know, it's not winning, but still.
nooooooooo
How can it sell out at 12:06 when it's not even that time yet?
WooHoo!
Now I understand why HollBoll doesn't have us in a clan war tonight.

Is this supposed to be some kind of Joke?
@TOaFK Yes, but I'm not sure what kind. Can I have a list to choose from?
Phewy, set my alarm and woke up only to have it not recognize anything when I kept checking I am not a robot. I even selected a "picture with bread". That's the first time I've seen that.
Guess I'll kill myself. No fuku for me.
Got too into Rick and Morty.
@connorbush Consider yourself one of the lucky ones. We may all receive a box of rotten bananas.

First one via mobile (iPhone).
Happy birthday and fuck you, Meh. (Not necessarily in that order.)
parasitic-shallow-rake
Meh day is my birthday and it just kept filling the god damn green line!!! I was there.... I was right there..... :(
sold out by 12:02, y'all liars
i am salty rn
Guess I should seek some insider info next time because by the time my browser actually refreshed they were sold out.
@lionheartssj same here. I was just sitting watching the spinning loading wheel of failure and I just knew, "fuku"
Lame. Sold out at 12:01. Cancelling my VMP. This just isn't fun anymore.
Yes. That's right. I'm taking my ball and going home.
@pevans not unless you really like speaker docks, batteries and flying plastic toys.
@pevans
@pevans At least you got a sphero to play with.
@pevans https://meh.com/forum/topics/announced-departures-maybe-it-bothers-me-more-than-it-should
@connorbush That was perfect.
@Skylord123 gracias
the robot thing got me. so sad.
I was processing and then it timed out on me...............so sad as it would have been my first one here :(
Got my first one today - cool.
angelic-moist-orangutan
So happy!!!!!!!! :)
Yeah apparently they sold out while I was clicking on three pictures of "steak" at 11:00:15 :(
How could you be sold out at 1206 when I was there at 1201 and it said sold out and it just turned 1206 as I posted this?
Thanks Amazon Echo for reminding me! I set an alarm for 10:55pm tonight. When it went off I was thinking WTH is that for? Then it dawned on me and I started refreshing. lively-arched-flavor for me!
@elangomatt Yay Echo!
@elangomatt Alexas got your back.
I wish echo could set an automatic every day alarm. @elangomatt
entertaining -impartial- machine
WOW I DIDN'T MISS IT THIS TIME BECAUSE I WAS TOO BUSY PLAYING A STUPID VIDEO GAME TO KEEP MY STREAK GOING WAHAHAHAH GOOD GAME WELL PLAYED
@sp3ar so I'm confused... did you get one or not?
@thismyusername nippy-spectacular-weather
Cool! Just like the good ol days on woot when I could never get one of these!
Fascinating-favorable-bath
Missed the last couple, but I got this one, dammit!
Damn, first Fuku I ever missed. I had already accepted the fact that I would probably miss the next one (This One), so i'm not that mad. I would have LOVED to have gotten it, but its all good I've had my fair share.
@Stallion I was surprised to get one because I feel the same. More people here means it will be harder and harder to score, and I felt #4 could have been my last.
Well, fine then. I didn't want one anyway 😢
Totally-Silly-Grandmother
Happy birthday, Meh. Stay meh.
divergent-timid-fight!
Happy birthday meh!
And he'll to the yes, stiff-yielding-peach, I finally stayed awake long enough to catch a fuku!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and kudos on finally getting all the bugs worked out. No hiccups this time.
Annnnnd I was in the shower.
Mehfuku shit sold out too fast grrrrr

Meh... flustered-moaning-point Happy Birthday Meh. Almost missed it too, was all ready to check it when it went live and was busy doing some actual work when the guy next to me told me I was right and it was a fuku, managed to snag one in time.
After a decade, my first ever "whatever bag". Much thx! Happy happy!
Dang it, sold out while I was looking at the stupid new captcha!
brave-dreamy-gremlin
@smigit2002 Awwww!
Why oh why could I not get my random goodies?
Refreshed right at midnight and still missed out. Just can't win sometimes. I blame Time Warner though, everyone knows they really suck. Edit: but just to make meh happy, screw you Meh!
@wisenekt no kidding, painful trying to make sure everything works while on TWC :(
@wisenekt
Not fair! I loaded the page at the very second. Never got one yet. MEH!!
Crap! I was watching, I was ready.. . and then I got distracted.
sigh
Time to do the dance
Dang!!! Missed it! :(
monstrous-bodacious-clove
Happy Birthday MEH!!!!!!
Cancelled my VMP membership. I have all the speaker docks i can ever need and will never get a Fubu. Good luck in your second year. I won't be around to see it.
@Dopepeddler here's your order number- whiny-entitled-baby
@Dopepeddler Well, that will teach us a lesson.
@Dopepeddler That did seem a little squirrely. I lost too, but I am impressed that the meh servers didn't melt down. I'll be even quicker next fuku time.
@marklog won't miss the witty community on here either.
@dopepeddler Hell yes, I'm a sore loser. I hear the bags of crap are plentiful now on Woot.
@dopepeddler you should really consider making a new thread about this :)
And no BOC's the last 2 woot offs :(
and the last BOC I got was worth less than it cost them to ship it to me (sadly).
@dopepeddler
@sprockett01 ok so you have posted this picture a bunch of time already in this thread... maybe challenge yourself a bit and find different ones to express your unwavering opinion?
@Kidsandliz he's obviously one of those bots that outsmarted the captcha!
@Kidsandliz
@dopepeddler I'm not sure meh has ever sold any Fubu, although I think they go by FB Legacy now.

coy-fertile-seal
Only 620, and I apparently loaded the site a few seconds too late... it was 12:06 and already sold out. D'oh. Sonofa... (Oh, wait, it's Meh, I can swear... sonofabitch!)
@DJP519 Ah, and now the sell-out time has been edited to 12:01am. Fuck.
Recaptcha pics didn't load! By the time I re-loaded it was too late! Darned captchas!
Happy Birthday Meh. It's been a wild year-- sort of a husky-pious-walrus year, in fact.
Happy Birthday Meh!
Alarm has been waking me every night at midnight for 6 months now to buy your stuff! ❤️❤️❤️ Got my Fuku on tonight! ARCHED-EDUCATED-WOOL! Woo hoo! Where do you come up w this stuff?!?
Just popped my Fukubukuro cherry! Boom!
Wow, checked right at 12:00, clicked buy, and by the time the order page decided I'm not a robot, sold out...
@panafonics Same thing happened to me. Hard to believe that they only decided to sell 620 bags. Disappointed!
@panafonics Same here. After I clicked the picture CAPTCHA. It wouldn't let me hit buy. When it does on 12:01, it was sold out.
Woo hoo! Got a mehrthday fuku!
angry-faint-brick
Was really hoping for an anchorman image for that one, but the googles let me down.
Wow -- I finally got one! I'm a Meh devotee (Mehvotee?) and now I can die happy (hopefully not before my fukubukuro arrives)...

Happy Birthday to Me-h!

Happy birthday Meh! Cant believe I finally got one! Thanks so much
I literally clicked to buy this at 11pm cdt and the green bar did it's animation thing and phlat...error! Then it was sold out? Is Meh ever going to offer more than a handful of Fuku bags? I'm so disappointed!
confident-agrrogant-copy
I knew it and gotbaide track by work prep and then sold out in one minute...damnit. What a lame bday one whole minute. #screwyoumeh
Glad to see the return of the bedazzled bra though.
what do you think will be in the bags
@zgranowitz only the finest
crap and broken shitproduct.rude-pink-hand
Was all the way to confirming my order after checking that I was not a robot. I had the green check mark. Then it said robots can't buy it. I'm sure I wasn't the only one screwed by Captcha. That really sucks. Fucked me over yesterday on mobile, but at least got through on my tablet.
well hell

New laptop just paid for itself. Yeah, I didn't pay much for it though either, so its not like that's tough to do.

Hot damn I got one! I could not be more excited. Shout out to my fellow Clashers. Without you guys I'd probably never remember Meh o'clock ...and be very bored. This site and our clan has kept me throughly entertained. Here's to another year!
got one!
Happy Birthday Meh!!!
trouble-whipped-strudel
Fuck...bath??
Happy Birthday, Meh!! And thanks for Fuku-ing me!!
My order number is very fitting for Meh's Day:
discordant-witty-journey
And so it has been.
Seriously though you guys really need a captcha system? You got a lot of robots buying out fukus?? I've never hated captchas as much as I do right now.
@Romulux um, yes. this is actually a real problem, hence the captcha.
@katylava UM, well I'm not a robot. I don't know how many times I have to keep telling people this. Maybe you could have a check box in the account page that confirms that YES you indeed have my CC info, YES I have been a member for over 300 days, YES I have bought multiple things, and NO I am not a robot? So your oldest customers don't get fucked out of a fuku because of captcha errors? Or are there a lot of robots with VMP that have been around since the beginning and bought multiple things and been active in discussions?
@Romulux just what a robot would say.
@Romulux And all that means nothing when so-called loyal customers could write a script to buy without actually being here and loading the page. Do you really think there's a fucking mass of robots running around trying to buy things? No. The "robots" are customers who want to buy coveted, limited edition things with no effort. You and your purchases do not make you special here.
@Romulux It's cute that you think you're THAT important.
@PurplePawprints You're clearly underestimating the robots they have out nowadays.
@studerc I dunno why you think I think I'm important, but I was really just looking for an answer and I got it. I haven't gotten in on a single fuku, so being on time but denied multiple times with a captcha kinda sucks.
@Romulux it's kinda lose-lose for us... No captcha = lots of comments about how people didn't get a fuku because the bots got them all... Captcha = comments about difficulties with the captcha.
I am sorry Google thinks you might be a bot and doesn't give you the easy version. That sucks.
@katylava @Romulux @PurplePawprints @studerc It's definitely a real world problem. Those robots are fuckers!
@Romulux And a crazy meh-addicted person is just as likely to have a bot written that automatically buys things with fukubukuro in the title as anybody. It's just the sad reality of it. What meh SHOULD do is have a stupidly expensive item that somehow triggers buy bots by including the term "fukubukuro" and, that day only, requires an email to customer support for a cancellation, on approval (if you bought in the first few seconds, tough).
@katylava I got the easy version. I checked the box and hit the buy button about 5 times as it told me I need to confirm that I'm not a robot. When it finally registered that I had checked the box and wasn't a robot it was already sold out.
Yeah! 2 minutes. Well, three minutes now. But,but I actually had a chance at this! That's amazing for me! I never got one of those things at the other place,(and after the first year or two, thank goodness for that!), but I had a chance of getting one the first year, and possibly the best year, here! So I was ThatClose, and that's pretty cool to me.
My friends The WestCoast Meh'ers, also have a chance of missing it two minutes after their midnight.
My guidance counselor would be so proud of me!
I got one! I got one! I almost didn't stay up tonight, but the last time I decided not to stay up I missed it! miniature-famous-bigfoot!!!
@shannenelaine !
How could this be sold out in a minute?
Wow sold out ? ? ?
That's not fair for some of us die-hards that buy a lot of that stuff that we really don't need . Now something to put some of that stuff in and it's sold out in 6 minutes.
Kinda disappointed...... Don't think it's fair ......
@paulie0717 It sold out in 1 minute. 620. Gone in 1 minute.
@paulie0717 Step up your game brah.
@paulie0717 actually it sold out in a minute... just sayin'.
@paulie0717 I dunno, just don't buy stuff you don't really need and you'll feel better about it.
@paulie0717 Don't fret about the bag itself. I used it for a week with barely anything in it and the grommets started ripping out. Cool to have, just not cool to use.
possessive-daffy-knee
Another fuko for me!
wobbly-helpful-mermaid
BTW...ummm...props to @shawn and the rest of the crew. That was the smoothest Fuku to date. Honestly, people shouldn't complain so much, in the past people had to wait hours for disappointment, you only had to wait about 60 seconds. Thanks, @shawn you da real MVP.
@studerc True that. I remember waiting for 4 hours for their system to come online. Lucky enough I was persistent and still got it.
@studerc - I came back to say this. No Oh Shit Report today.
@studerc
Awww, so I guess all 3 Fukus sold quick. :-(
Crap, I missed it. 😭😭😭
tainted-ostentatious-river
Looks like two of us in Vermont got it.
Why hasn't it shipped yet? Meh. Time for bed.
@sligett - Shipping says "eventually". Now we wait.
@KDemo Yay! I haven't had any Meh packages to wait for since my drones-in-a-cage arrived.
Screw.You.Meh
tranquil-moving-needle
And I am somewhere right around here.
Happy Birthday Meh! Thanks for all the fun! And thanks for the Fuku!
In like Flynn. hushed-lush-barnacle
The streak is still alive! Since there is only 620 I'm hoping it has to be delivered on its own truck.
Wow.. only 600
relished-poised-cream
@rmeden No, there were 620.
@cengland0 now 619...
@Kidsandliz Did someone cancel their fuku?
@cengland0 To be fair, 600 is only one significant digit so 620 is equivalent. :)
Or I didn't bother to remember exactly... can go either way. :) Still, not a lot.
NeverMissAFuku
Fuck CAPTCHA.... In the cart and then 3 God damn questions and I'm still a robot?
been a member for 365 days, just canceled my vmp today, im done

@zasmth you should really make a new thread about this. :)
@zasmth
@zasmth https://meh.com/forum/topics/announced-departures-maybe-it-bothers-me-more-than-it-should
Mother Fuku. I can never get the prized bag. Damn you meh!
I tried. I really did.
Upon getting the text, I yelled "FUKUBUKURO!", jumped off of the couch, ran to my computer, actually got to the page that shows my payment info, clicked the stupid box to show that I'm not a robot, and...
...and...
...no dice. It was only 12:02 by the time I'd realized I was definitely not getting one. I am confident that I was on the payment info page before 12:02.
Not cool. I'm not upset that I didn't get one, as it's just stuff. I'm upset that actually tried and failed.
Marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet. Buried alive...buried alive...without a fuku...
Jonnnnnnnnnnnnn! You gonna eat that bacon?
@silyn But also Jon Frost?
Anyone?
Happy Birthday Meh! You have absolutely terrorized my sleep pattern and tempted my bank account day in and day out :) Today I snagged my first Fuku bag, my life is complete. Here's to many more awesome years.
Meh....who would have bought a disappointing bag of junk anyway.
I tried to buy before you "sold out" at 9:06 PDT, so yeah, screw you meh. bitter-frustrated-bear
Happy birthday meh.
Oh yeah lopsided-operatic-hydra
Happy Birthday Meh! Meh you have mehny happy returns.
I'm guessing I was one of the very first losers to miss out. (It was still 10:00 when I hit the final purchase button. But when it finally finished processing, just after my clock rolled over to 10:01, I had a message telling me they were sold out instead of the beautiful confirmation page. I blame my phone for the precious seconds I lost loading chrome. And I officially hate all of you. At least for the next hour or so.
@christinewas Yeah. This. I got that far as well, in that exact 60-second span.
@Crixus Then, fwiw, I officially don't hate you. And I hope your everything else goes better for you today than your attempted fuku purchase.
@christinewas Thanks. I appreciate the lack of hate, and hope that your everything else goes similarly... better.
Happy Birthday! Was Ready and Got it! Yipeeeeee!
The sell-out time changed from 12:06 am to 12:01 am... conspiracies abound.
@Zelucifer it was sold out by 12:01.
@CircaRigel I know, just wondering what's up with the initial 5 minute differential ;)
Galen the Shiloh Shepherd pup hopes his Fuku bag has better stuff than his latest 3 BOC's had. Happy Birthday Meh!

I'm back and I still have the touch.
Happy Birthday Meh!
@ceagee Welcome back! Missed you.
@barnabee Thank you! It's a long sordid story. Maybe I'll write about it someday.;-) Nice to see you!
Damn, missed it by that much!
Bath!
Chheeeezzee!
NoFukuForMe
Only 620 bags? Da fuq?
I ARE WINNAR!!!
smiley-suppressed-hunchback
Scored a fuku the old-fashioned way (like almost everyone here), refreshing like hell at the stroke of midnight. Haters gonna hate.
Oh, and.. warlike-eternal-quartz
delicious-thankful-puck
I'm in the hospital on drugs and connected to a shitty-ass WiFi connection tunnelled to my office PC, and still I scored a bag. That, or I am hallucinating.
Nope - it is really in my orders! YAY!
I fucking love you guys.
Happy Birthday Meh!
@Pavlov That's great Pav. Glad to hear you managed to score one
@Pavlov I hope the bag includes a push-up bra you can leave in some nurse's tip jar. Congrats and it's good to see you getting better.
Think I might be done here anything cool sells out even if I'm in check out... Just kinda annoying at this point...
I really just couldn't pass this one up.
I think those of us tried and true members should NOT have to prove we are not f-ing robots! My next order confirmation will be NOT-A-ROBOT!
@cbilyak Seriously. They have my CC on file and need to captcha me? Done. Later meh.
@Romulux Yes. The reason they do that is to prevent someone from creating a script to auto-buy the fuku without having an actual person involved. Regardless if you have a credit card on file or not is meaningless to determine if you are a script or an actual person buying it.
@Romulux https://meh.com/forum/topics/announced-departures-maybe-it-bothers-me-more-than-it-should
fucking really waited so long for this and I get fucked in 2 min. FUCK YOU MEH!!!!
@discheck9 Your first sentence sounds exactly like what my wife said to me back in the day... Memories......
@discheck9
Let us have it on Twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23screwyouMeh&src=typd&vertical=default&f=tweets
@discheck9
I've been setting the alarm for 11:55 for so long now--can't believe it finally paid off......(wipes tear from eye)
heroic-triangular-mystic
Happy FUKU Birthday Meh!!
@Prissy that pendant needs some clear eyes.
Hope you all enjoy your next year of captchas, garbage batteries, speaker docks, stupid flying shit, and inevitable disappointment when the next fuku 6 months from now sells out in 20 seconds.
@Romulux cheer up sucker
@shawn Wow, thanks for the response, what a great feeling being insulted by one of the biggest dogs in the meh.com family. Thanks for singling me out, such an honor!
@Romulux
@Romulux "Cheer up sucker" is from the meh twitter theme song. So uh, cheer up sucker!
Somber-Unbiased-Meat
rad-outer-starfish
ew?
i was on my way home from work and decided to check and of course when im not home and im on my phone in the middle of BFE theres a fuku, i saw it availiable but didnt have enough connection to actually get one :(
Braggers! I'm jealous!
@kimktb
So... if I accidentally sent it to the wrong address is there no way to update it on my own? I hate to bombard support with e-mails.
@johnamo It's pretty much too late for that.
Today is my birthday too and of course I get screwed out of yet another fuku even though I hit it at 11 sharp every single night. You still rock don't get me wrong but damnit hook up a loyal ass member already instead of making me a jealous angry bitch
@tysontomko Happy Birthday!
@sammydog01 Thanks dog! (Happy coincidence that your name is also dog)
Honestly, I'm more than a little bit disappointed I missed this.
276 total meh button clicks
180 in a row
longest streak: 180
I'm not sure I'm going to continue to bother. I'm not complaining, eh. Just meh.
@Gimbap it's laughable how pissed people get over this bag of garbage lol
@mikepeeps From the person trolling the site at 12:23pm.
@mikepeeps More like pissed at the time took to refresh this page then be exited just to be let down at the checkout
@Gimbap
Finally scored my first Fuku!
21 minutes in and sold out already.. Meh :(
@UNRNic You're way behind. It was sold out in two.
@juststephen probably more like 45 seconds
I got so lucky. I had to login. I forgot my password and had to try several times. I then realized that I had my old debit card information put in. My new one hasn't arrived in the mail yet, however Meh accepted my old card number, probably because it hasn't been completely "deactivated" yet. I got the confirmation email and $10 is out of my bank account, so I'm good to go!
upset-bickering-anteater
JoeT said sold out in 30 seconds on Periscope.
@pooflady oh there was a periscope of the fuku??? url me!
@thismyusername This was after the fact.
sad-eVil-man
No, I didn't get one. That's just my current state... :(
Busy writing a letter to my Mom and forgot what time it was.... ARGH!!! She better appreciate it...
LOL...
Grats to all of you that got one!
I got one from my account and one from my wife's account. This is good news for anyone that really wants one. When it gets listed on Ebay, we'll find out just how badly you REALLY wanted one...
Actually, her account got caught in that son-of-a-bitch captcha bullshit about bread and birthday cake and my robot couldn't figure it out in time. Stupid robot.
@capguncowboy That's pretty much what happened here. I got mine, but I couldn't get one for my husband in time. We only had the check box, no weird stuff, but I took too long to load his page because I was scared I'd miss it on mine. At least we got one! Streak unbroken!
@capguncowboy
I blame Sarah Palin.
@er1c It's the Donald's fault. Wait, I got one, but it's still his fault the robot nearly tripped me up.
@OldCatLady obviously its ahhnalds fault!!!
formal-lethargic-narwhal
My first since the kickstarter!!!
Happy Birthday Meh!!🎉
I kinda miss the old days on Woot where people would claim that they are a loyal customer and their square would show that they have less than 5 purchases in a two or three year time period. I do love the people claiming they should get a fuku because they have a meh button streak going, whole lot of money for Meh in that.
@wisenekt Yes! I deserve this limited product! FOR REASONS!! shakes fist at clouds
i knew it was gonna be a fuku tonight, had a feeling, but missed out cuz i had to hunt down a 9volt and change the smoke detector battery.
Stupid safety
@gossipninja Join me. In the new order, there will be no smoke alarms.
Missed it. But why, if all the purchases were $5, does the total end in a 3?
@wishlish People in TX pay taxes. The total includes product, shipping, and taxes.
@wishlish because they charge sales tax in Texas.
On my bucket list that one day before I die I will actually score one of these. Did't happen at woot. Not here yet either.
Signed,
Old guy with slow technology
@samnrick Yeah, you'll never get one. Might as well kick the bucket now..
@samnrick I had slow tech until Amazon sent me a new laptop to review, but I managed to get my first BOC before my tech got upgraded. Hint re: woot... hang out in the forums during a woot-off and if you miss a BOC, check out the forum thread for the BOC. There will be some hints there about how you can get the next one that pops up, and they pop up a BUNCH of times during woot-offs now.
@CircaRigel how does one get Amazon to send a laptop to review?
@djslack I was invited into Amazon's Vine reviewer program about 7 years ago. I get to select items out of a perpetually updating queue and got lucky when it updated offering me a Toshiba Satellite C55-C5240 laptop at the end of March. It's an invite-only program they initiated shortly before I got my invite, and I guess I got lucky. I'd only written a few reviews before I got the invite, but people found the ones I wrote to be helpful. It helped that I'd been a beta tester for the Kindle 1 and was able to post an extremely detailed review of it the day they released it. I've linked the laptop review in this reply.
@CircaRigel Nice. I used to post helpful, detailed reviews back when I started using Amazon, but I had stopped well before the Vine program came out. It seems like a nice idea, but then I remember how I don't get enough done as it is.
Edit: i just thought I posted detailed reviews. Wow. You earned that laptop :)
@djslack Thanks. I'm just a geek with insatiable curiosity, and I guess my getting carried away with pursuing those questions I come up with paid off when it came to writing reviews.
@Gimbap @samnrick No, if you can't score a fuku, the idea is to at least live forever!
So not fair for the people in the central time zone. Screw you meh. You and your lack of pagination can go to purgatory.
@phatmass I don't understand your complaint. However, if you'd like, I'll send you a link to the one I'm selling on Ebay
Disclaimer: I'm not selling anything on Ebay.
@capguncowboy posts like this are what makes the fuku dealio the most annoying. "Stop bitching geesh, here buy mine on ebay" i can respect reselling stuff but this is a cock slap to the face. Congrats regardless
Disclaimer: ok so not your post now but in general lol
@capguncowboy The complaint, as best I can articulate it, is that those who obsess over this site, but don't set their alarms to 11:59pm, have no hope whatsoever of reaping one of the prime objective of Meh'ers.
The '2nd Tier' fans get little meaningful hope of ever benefiting from the bennies of this site.
@phatmass
no pagination@phatmass
@Gimbap you obsess over the site but don't set an alarm? where's your dedication?
@Gimbap As a 2nd tier fan, I and my 3 other Fukus disagree with you.
I've just been lucky.
"[Come party in the forum with us all day today](PUT THE BROADCAST LINK HERE)!"
Haw haw.
@Starblind That was your fault, you know.
For so many years, I have tried to acquire bags. I almost don't care anymore.
@InnocuousFarmer
I.. I... I... I ACTUALLY GOT ONE!!?!
WAHOOO!! FIRST FUKU EVAH! (other than the kickstarter reward, of course)
I mean, uh, meh. I guess. Whatever.
Son of a bitch.
Damn, missed out on a bag of broken drones.
@PenguinOnTheRox More likely broken wine glasses that they never sold the other day. Surprised meh is even still around for a b-day.
Le sigh...
Im done meh. Fell asleep 2 minutes befor 12 and woke up 15 min later and its all over. And im still pissed the one time your website crashed and i missed out. Ughhhh
@natekimh I remember that one time... I crashed the site just so you couldn't buy one.
@natekimh
@sprockett01 ok at least i got a good laugh while being meh bummed haha. Good ol senior Chang
@natekimh Consider yourself lucky. Really.
@capguncowboy You're kind of being a real dick today. I love it. :)
@natekimh Aside from the Kickstarter, that crash is the only one I missed and I'm still pissed about it too.
Anyone know how to uncancel a canceled order?
@horangep A cancelled order is just that, cancelled. Can't be done.
Can't believe I got one. Nearly peed myself in the excitement.
@AnnaB Maybe @shawn can see that Depends makes it into your fuku.
@tomvarela gettin' old. You know how it is...
Damn! Missed it again. Sigh.
cranky-incredulous-carrot
An apt description...I am honored to have been involved in such a celebratory gifting...
tangy-tight-iodine
I missed it, poor internet in hotel room. In Nashville TN to see Rifftrax Live Presents Sharknado 2.
Happy Birthday Meh!
@rileyper have fun, love MST3K /Rifftrax
I have a sneaking suspicion that Meh isn't planning on only selling 620 of these today. Maybe they'll post up some more later. Keep checking people -- you don't want to miss out!
@capguncowboy Not sure if I should say thank you for pointing that out or damn you for falsely getting my hopes up.
@medz You might thank me... if you're not sleep deprived and it actually pays off
@capguncowboy @medz My money is on the rest being prizes for all the fun stuff going on all day.
@metaphore We'll see. Off to try to sleep on my tear soaked pillow now.
talented-grouchy-screwdriver
Boss. As in sounds like my boss.
Whelp... I fell asleep putting my daughter to sleep. I knew it was coming and missed it. Now I'm awake and sad. Good luck, you lucky bastards.
@medz Sorry you missed out. Thank you for not being an asshurt asshole about it, though. Damn, people be trippin'.
Shy-proper-heron
Last time you had a meh day #4 one, 88390 of you visited.
39% on a phone, 7% on a tablet.
We sold 1129 of these.
6425 clicked meh.
That's $6059 total.
95.42% of you didn't bite
before we sold out at 1:53 am ET. this time sold 619 in one minute - a lot less in even less time -- meh :(
@AttyVette They didn't last that long last time. They had an error that prevented hardly any from selling till about 12:49...
Screw you meh! The one time I can't buy it because of payroll issues and getting sidetracked by mild drama at like 10:30 and it's the new fuku! I knew it would be though, and as much as I like the idea of this I'll probably be happier with yesterday's shirt
YES!!!!! Got one finally. Never got one before.
The number of fukus sold just went down one. What does it mean?!
@mossygreen Someone canceled?
@mossygreen Someone really dumb above canceled their order, then asked if they could uncancel it.
@PurplePawprints I saw that in the thread. How the heck would someone get a Fuku and accidentally cancel is beyond me. I mean, you have to still be in the order placed dialog to do that, and you have to click at least two separate links! Unless they decided their best bet was to order every meh that comes up, in hopes that it will be a Fuku, and got in the habit of cancelling right away when it wasn't a fuku, and did it by rote w/o paying attention.
@PurplePawprints Who would cancel a fuku? That's like tearing up a winning lottery ticket. Sort of.
@PurplePawprints @CircaRigel earlier when I woke my phone up, it was on the orders page where I had last verified to make sure my order went through. As I went up to close the tab, my thumb brushed near the Cancel link on the page and I almost fainted. Thankfully I didn't click it.
@djslack It's like standing too close to the edge of something and finding yourself swaying forward, just a little bit.
@mossygreen - maybe there was a problem with the payment method, like a rejected credit card?
@KDemo Maybe he was a bot. Stupid bots!
@djslack Wow... Glad you avoided that fubar!
I knew it was coming, but sleep won me over. Now you know my priorities.
I wasn't going to say anything but what the heck, I'll join the rest of the whiners. I guess since I'm not in CA, TX nor NY I missed out on the 1% that Meh allocated to the rest of the world. I was here slightly before midnight, refreshed the browser and was greeted with the sold out notification. I'm actually legitimately interested in the actual percentages sold to each state. And I wonder if I can convince Mediocre Labs to start the Fukus at 8PM EST to see if that has an effect on who purchases them? I highly doubt it, but it's interesting to think about...
@marvelljones I'm on the east coast, in fucking West By God Virginia, of all places, and managed to get one. It's not a location issue, really. Those states with higher populations sell more. It's crazy, I know.
@PurplePawprints Still sticking with my earlier suspicions. If population were a factor FL should have gotten more than NY. Only around 20% of FL is "old people, " so that shouldn't be a factor. You were lucky and got part of the "1%" I mentioned. If population were a factor then there should not have been any left for you, since WV is 38th in total population in the US. And please look at a map, you are in the eastern US but definitely not on the east coast unless VA and MD are severely flooded.
@marvelljones See the colored-in county closest to the center of Nebraska? That's me. Nobody else from my county has ever ordered from here. Usually there is only 3 or 4 in my whole state. Despite that, I've never had any trouble buying Fukus, or any other item on meh. When you're only dealing with 600 sales, you're not going to see an even distribution that corresponds with state populations. You're talking an average of 12 sales per state.
@marvelljones You can stick with your suspicions, but it doesn't make them right. Yes, I was 'lucky' and I never said I wasn't. That doesn't change the fact that population does factor into it. States with higher populations have more people trying for Fukus, therefore, more people in those states get lucky and snag one. That doesn't stop people in other states from being able to get them, though. It does have a lot to do with the speed of your internet and device, though.
Also, I can get to the beach in less than two hours and have to worry about the occasional hurricane, so I'm pretty sure it's okay that I consider myself on the East Coast. I'm closer to the ocean than I ever was growing up in Virginia. Since I live here and all, I'm pretty sure I know where it is on the map. But hey, you just read West Virginia and decided to condescend, right?
619? its my own fault for missing this one, right? At least I got the t-shirts. should have known. t-shirts.
I had a rehearsal tonight. I was probably playing Springtime For Hitler about the time the fuku went up for sale.
@SSteve You get a star for referencing that. Thank you!
@capguncowboy In case you feel like coming to see it: http://www.sierrastages.org
@SSteve I will be there. I can start a carpool from Florida if anyone wants to chip in for gas.
"Congratulations, you won a mystery bag! Even though we were sold out, you clicked on the 'buy' button 1000 times, and we like to reward that kind of stupidity! Check your in box and spam folder for a confirmation email.
Exactly what I needed after the stress of the past 3 weeks... First, an uninsured teenager runs a stop sign and totals my car (when ricocheted off her vehicle, went down a 50 ft. deep embankment, through a fence, and into a house). My 7-month-old Shiloh Shepherd service dog in training would have gone through the windshield and been killed had I not been paranoid and made him wear a seat belt harness. Then, the replacement car my mom helped me get ended up having a dead a/c compressor, and finally last week, my puppy Galen nearly died again when he developed a severe case of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis.
REALLY hoping this Fuku has some good stuff in it! Plus it's my first Fuku!
@CircaRigel Whew! I hope so, too. You deserve a break & a good laugh.
@CircaRigel Damn, dude. Since the count of sold fukus went from 620 to 619, I vote you get that last one.
@editorkid Heh, thanks. I wish!
I don't understand! Was online on Meh at 12:00 am. Big Sold Out sign was up. Said it sold out at 12:06 am. How is that possibly possible?????????
Oh yeah !! Fuku!
Can't believe I missed this. The worst part is I missed this because I was out seeing the movie San Andreas. Much sadness...
Ok, for all the lucky folks who got one, be kind to us others(who did not) and tell us all about the treasures you received. That we didn't. So we can stop being jealous, or maybe more so.
Alright, I'd like to at least live vicariously through you guys. I understand the premise of a Fuku bag, but what the heck is likely to actually be in it based on past experience? I'm 0/5 :(
@Portlis there's lots of threads of fuku reveals, but generally it's a ton of stuff that didn't sell or was left over for warranty purposes, with occasionally awesome or humorous items (say, a TV or 40 containers of play-dough).
When I went to bed you sold 620 bags. Now it says 619.
@somf69 This was discussed in earlier comments. Consensus is that someone canceled (by accident.)
@somf69 @boc Could also have been a duplicate or a credit card that didn't go through. I wouldn't overthink it.
@somf69 Maybe Meh should move to Colorado and sell 420 bags.
I had a minor procedure done yesterday afternoon and slept through my alarm. :( Stupid painkillers.
I've only been Meh for 377 days, & I mostly just sit on the sidelines to watch the players on the field, but I enjoy you goofy people so much!
In the words of @Carl669 "FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" :(
@mfladd well...i generally throw the word "you" in there. but, your sentiment comes across nicely.
@carl669 Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl
@lichme Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich!
@carl669 I thought about adding the "you", but since I wasn't on the site when the fuku went up I couldn't hold Meh. responsible. Now, had I been on and didn't get one, you bet it would have read "Fuck You, Meh!" ;)
unfortunately, my trips to the bathroom were at 11:36 pm and 4:15 am, so no fuku for me. not surprised, I've never snagged one, and if it is always on a weeknight at midnight, I probably never will.
Sigh... After dealing with flu symptoms for the past week and a half it finally caught up to me last night and I passed out a bit early. I was so exhausted I wasn't even able to set my alarm for a quick wake up for midnight as I had a feeling there might be a Fuku. Up at 5:15 for work this morning to see I missed it. My (non-kickstarter) Fuku/Fuko streak is over. Unless of course y'know, @JonT or @Mehcus or one of you guys or girls wants to show some love.
pale-needy-crack
seems fitting
Curse you Captcha, I did click all that ice cream!
@mehdaf One was actually frozen yogurt.
@MrMark This comment is terribly underrated.
I always miss these things. I am the saddest boy in the world. ;_;
I also have no love for captcha, cost me a Fuku. Fuk U captcha.
insane-perennial-mosquito
Close Enough. Tink will suffice.
You suck. Logged in at 11:02 and you're sold out.
Yeah I set the alarm for 11:59, had it in my cart, fucked up on the robot captcha and then couldn't sleep from my own excitement and subsequent disappointment...meh birthday meh!
You guys should just change your name to Meh California because those are the only folks who actually get the decent stuff. East Coast residents who want to sleep need not apply.
@thebrowncoat Set an alarm to check. This applies to new Apple phones at 3am and all new video games.
@thebrowncoat Just my opinion but I think you're wrong. There are plenty of east coasters that bought the Fuku. You can tell by looking at the map.
@cengland0 Poor Mississippi & Wyoming
@MrMark I think that might be Alabama, not Mississippi.
@cengland0 Damnit. I knew I should of googled it so I didn't look like a complete moron. I'll blame it on having to stay up until midnight two nights in a row.
@MrMark LOL
@MrMark Don't blame yourself. That's what we have @Starblind for. He can take all the blame this month for anything.
@thebrowncoat Keep in mind that California is never really accurate, because all of the overseas Meh shoppers use reshippers based in Cali. So in Korea, where Meh has a huge fan base and where the product flips at something like 2 p.m., everyone checks at work and then California lights up when they buy it. This is as comforting as tomato soup on a snowy day as the dog snoozes in front of the fireplace, I hope.
Common man if your gonna do this shit atleast have enough to go around for more then a minute what a fuccing tease ...run something special for members only yeah we get free shipping on shit items and i appreciate that really but make us feel special maybe once a month even if you dont mean it dammit !!!
@mellowirishgent We get free shipping on all items, not just shit items.
@lisaviolet HAHA ACTUALLY I LOVE EVERY ITEM I HAVE BOUGHT FROM THEM
been waiting for a fuku for months but alas. in the eleventh hour Borderlands and alcohol distracted me. I have failed at the one thing that matters most to me: acquiring bags of random crap of questionable value. my sorrow knows no bounds.
on a brighter note, happy birthday meh. here's a haiku I wrote:
fukubukuro:
very mediocre things
still elude my grasp.
I grabbed one and went to check out where it insisted I was a robot (after I checked that I wasn't one), a reload later it was sold out. Same with my brother. Was there an issue with bad robot detection (Capache)?
@StrangerDanger Are you sure? Have you been subjected to a Voight-Kampff test lately?
@StrangerDanger sorry for you I was able to get one even though I was at least 15 seconds late to actually hit the 12:00 moment, but I got in smoothly selected 2 hamburgers and I was on my way, but I tried to help out my sis and log her in and buy one for her and before I could even log in it was sold out
i find it amusing that less that 2% of all people who come here actually post anything
Happy birthsalesday, Meh. I really enjoy the community here, and sometimes the sales are pretty good. My humorous-surprised-pleasure looks like this:
@OldCatLady Uh, alternative image please? You know the kind I like.
@sammydog01 This looks like one.
@OldCatLady Thank you. Thank you very much. (The chest hair is especially appreciated.)
@OldCatLady hmm did @lisaviolet see this??
@mikibell Why's the picture cropped?
@lisaviolet because we aren't that lucky, at all....
@mikibell Go look at the SI Body issue, especially sites with lots of live action. It'll give you heart failure. http://www.medicaldaily.com/espn-body-issue-bryce-harper-odell-beckham-jr-among-biggest-names-sports-bare-it-all-341422#big-shots/341422/0
@OldCatLady Yep, that's one. Thanks!
@OldCatLady awesome..banner day here @ meh!
defeated-promiscuous-scone. The one time I decide to visit and hit reload right at 11:00 PM. I truly am fuku. :)
Elite-Aberrant-Destruction bitches! "Blood And Fury... for five dolla."
raging-graphic-cleric. I know I shouldn't be excited, since it's most likely going to be crap, but holy shit I got a fuku!
I noticed the number sold went from 620 to 619. Sell me the unsold Fuku dammit! Come on, make #mehday
If not, then #screwyoumeh
@TehChrisReed C'mon. You wouldn't want random people telling you to #screwyou on your birthday, would you?
@juststephen Vent your rage with #screwyouMeh. We will address all complaints promptly as soon as #screwyouMeh becomes a worldwide trending topic.
Of course it belongs on Twitter....
@TehChrisReed This got my attention. Who in the world would buy a fuku and then cancel on it? I feel bad for whoever it was that desperately needed that $5 after all.
youthful-perceptive-drawer
Happy B-day Meh
Can't believe I missed another bag of crap!
@donkeynuts
lost-contagious-interest
Isn't that the most meh order ever?
dated-lengthy-lamp
It was only a few seconds after midnight, how could it be dated already?
(wasteful-delightful-yak)
I guess the only one I've missed was the fukobukuro, because it kept insisting my credit card wasn't mine (not that I'm bitter), so technically my streak of fukubukuros is still alive. And that's a way better streak than Meh faces, right?
Like so many other (tired) East Coasters, I've been diligently setting my alarm for 11:58 for the past week or so in the hopes of landing a fuku (would have been my 2nds after 318 total meh clicks; 293 in a row...)
And also like so many others, I stumbled up against the captcha button not appearing on the final screen, not once but twice. So on my 3rd and final attempt, the button appeared, I clicked to verify that in fact I was NOT a robot, only to find that I had snoozed and loozed, so to speak.
Sad part is, my heart was racing so fast and my disappointment was so deep, it took me over 2 hours to fall back to sleep. To others' earlier points, what the heck is so great about a $5 bag of random stuff!? Not sure, but I'm sure that I WANT it.
I've lived on the West Coast for my entire life prior to moving East 2 years ago. I can now officially add another bogey to the list of East Coast Irritants: Sunday/Monday night football games end too late, same for UFC, of course the humidity... and now the lack of sleep during Fuku week. At least I managed to score a tee yesterday, so I've got that going for me...
You've won this round Meh. But I'll be back...
@bettynugs We should have had an online party; I did get a fuku, and then was too wired to get to sleep for hours. Today I'm dragging. However, I know that at 23:59 my hand will be poised, ready to strike. Again.
@OldCatLady Me too, got a Fuku, but was stuck awake for the next hour reading comments ...
ashamedly-particular-fern
Fuku-YEAH!
nuclear-dead-nettle
This was the 4th (and best) image to show up on Google Images. Weird.
see, I cry unfair!!!! no one in Wyo got a fuku!!! cause we get sucky internet here. Nothin is fast enough.Cell service is swiss cheese, and ya.....we can use goat feed!!!! Happy Bday MEH!!! love ya
@padragon Wyoming ehh.... are you a miner or a cow?
My purchase was denied by the Captcha. As a result, I'm going to embrace my robothood.
The consciousness transfer is scheduled for Monday. See you on the flip side! (Unless Meh puts up a knife or speaker dock before then.)
disturbed-hazy-cobweb -- describes my head today, have a migraine but still got through Captcha!!!
P.S. East Coast fuku representative!!
heroic-nutritious-ferret
I got it using my phone while watching the movie Maggie with my wife. Sadly, getting my Fuku was 10 billion times more exciting than the movie.
'Yappy-Liable-Chameleon'...Stupid excited to FINALLY score one these! I'm sure the joke will be on me when it arrives...BTW, Happy Birthday Meh!!!!
auspicious-difficult-month
My first fuku! Looking forward to all useless junk I never knew I needed that may come my way.
@MsTinkles Get ready for that Sailor Moon hard cover you've always wanted and the throw away Star Wars pencil case
code@dmlivezey I got those in my fuko!
There were only supposed to be 500?
@Alien - They could just cancel the extra 119 orders. I'm sure no one would mind.
@Alien Where did you get that number from?
@Kidsandliz Periscope TV:
"@MEHcus is up next with a special Fuku sneak peek!"
Psychedelic-lethal-mask
Thank you meh! It's been a fun year.
@darkzrobe THE END IS NEAR!
Way to pile on, meh. Missed this fuku because I broke my phone while on vacation. (While wearing my meh tee even)
@MsELizardBeth did you also have one of those super cheap meh phone hanger thingys?
so, what's the black market value of this f/u? unopened, video the opening, i pay shipping, you ship me your f/u, name your price before you know the contents :)
@dmlivezey - It was recently determined that the value is more than 365 meh clickfaces.
@KDemo ok, i have a way to go then, but i get it now now, meh click faces = bit coin in a scary sort of kelp
@dmlivezey At work, we were wondering what would happen if we put one up on ebay--unopened.
@densa my guess - no bids unless people in here know about it, then the sky's the limit, or maybe $15
Awww, I missed it. Oh well.
Wahooo!!!!

Wake up at 10:40. Decide to try and stay up until 11 to see what Meh is selling. Keep drifting in and out. See the clock on my tablet is at 10:59...10:59...11:00. Refresh! OMG Fuku! Buy! Aaaugh, no I am not a robot! Pick the pictures with cookies? Do you know how small these pictures are on my tablet? Do you know how sleepy and out of focus my eyes are? That one and that one and--oh crap, is that one cookies? There's no time to consider it! I'm going with just the two pictures and if I'm wrong there's no way I'll get a second chance before this thing sells out. Buy! Processing...processing...distrustful-lax-thistle! Woohoo, now back to my regularly-scheduled slumber.
mine just shipped :)
10x10x10 and 3lb
Estimated delivery: Fri 7/17/2015
@zgranowitz Same here. Same placeholder dimensions. I'm just trying to remember if its good luck or bad luck to get one shipped so quickly.
@LionMan Nothing has actually shipped yet. They've just generated the labels.
@ACraigL Fedex says "Arrived at FedEx location"
@zgranowitz I stand corrected. Mine's still processing.
woo hoo! mine's on its way too!
same specs 10x10x10, 3lbs. Arrived at FedEx location this evening; expected delivery Wed. 7/15!
Same thing for me. Weird. Same dimensions, same weight. Delivery. On Tuesday! Thanks Meh
@floridasooner Those are just 'placeholder' dimensions. Those numbers will likely change to something more accurate as your box heads your direction.
@PurplePawprints Or @floridasooner's Fuku consists of 1,000 half-ounce, one-inch cubes.
This website is soul-crushing when one has just missed a fuku.
I got all the way to checkout and hitting "buy" and I missed it. 12:01. Goddamn.
@HELLOALICE I came out of a shower all relaxed and feeling super about the world, around 12.04… then I saw I missed a fuku and I just smashed every building on my street. I liked my neighbors, too, you know? But now they're just all flat, and there's all this brick dust in the air, and it's just like… why, Meh… why…
Looks like so far we all got 10 inch by 10 inch by 10 inch and 3 lbs.
@smilingjack that is the standard "Placeholder" size and weight. Some then change when they actually start moving, others never do but the box is no where near the placeholder size and weight...
independent-worm-saloon. (nah, I'm just playin')
Mine still says "processing". WTF
@RascalMJ Mine too... This happened last time I got a fukubukuro too... I wonder...
@sohmageek ...I've never even come close before. I almost pooped myself
@RascalMJ The last Fukubukuro It was about a week later than what most people posted for me, I had to bug JonT to check for me... Then I got tracking information the next day, It was already in PA... Just delayed shipping information usually... I'd say nothing to worry about. Which is why I didn't tag him besides it's a few days later, I'm used to getting things about 1-2 weeks later, East coast and all. :)
Mine also still says processing. That probably just means they're holding back all the awesome stuff for us, right? Right?
Mine is still processing...
Mine too.
Mine says it'll be here Thursday, which translates that it'll be here Wednesday.
My longer-ultimate-lamp is still processing……sigh…..
Mine still says processing too :( Maybe they have saved the best for last.....one can only dream!!!!
Catastrophic-knockout-tray
I'm still in the processing boat as well.
Still processing here, too.
@Pony as am I
@stryper2000 I've gotten shipping notification now- but it isn't due to arrive until the 20th (how will I survive that long?!) and still has placeholder size/weight.
Mine is only one state away with delivery scheduled for Wednesday, but the size and weight haven't changed from the placeholder numbers.
Wow, what a box of crap!
@mattguyver Where the hell did they get the medical supply stuff?
@telepheedian @mattguyver as a guy who knows a thing or two about where this crap comes from I can honestly tell you that I have no idea. The random things we find in the warehouse sometimes are just nuts.
@MEHcus Lol, this was the most random thing I think I have ever received.
@mattguyver Is that a Jon Stewart action figure?
@MEHcus @JonT...have they all gone out? Just curious as i haven't seen updated shipping.
@studerc Is yours shipped or processing? Are you in the same boat as me?
@studerc Yup, they are all gone. Sit back and relax, it'll be there soon enough in all of it's disappointing glory.
@MEHcus Thanks, guy. Much appreciated. Keep being you.
@MEHcus Aw. I was hoping y'all were still loading up the 18-wheeler. (bounce bounce bounce)
@MEHcus I was going to make a crack at the goat prize for @Studerc... :P Good to know they are all shipped! I always figure the longer to ship the less I have to buy to keep my record... Since Jan 1st... :)
@MEHcus Should we all have tracking numbers yet? Mine still is at the processing stage.
@bruinscbr @studerc Don't worry guys, it's only been how many days... How long did you have to wait for your first one? @studerc how's that goat prize? I bet your Fukubukuro will show up first ;) BTW... mine is in processing too, but I'm pretty chill... I've had something on the way every day since January 1... I don't know if it's sad or awesome! (not ordered something every day, just something shipping/purchased but not in my hands yet.)
@sohmageek im waiting patiently for my one year goativersary. Maybe ill get my prize on that day...or not. @JonT is full of surprises.
@studerc Very True. Just like someone with a community event? :)
@MEHcus - Extra big job, but you did it! It's not easy to disappoint so many, job well done!
Now put your feet up and have a drink.
My detrimental small furniture shipped today. I'm really hoping for a tiny ironic Barbie couch and some hideous shag carpeting.
So I got it. sigh. Let's just call this "The underwhelming of 2015"...
Oh man. Seems like the early ones had some decent stuff, onkyo receiver, a sphero...etc. Later ones....not so much?
It seems that FedEx may have "lost" my Fuku between Kansas City and St. Louis... My shirt arrived without issue yesterday, and my Fuku was scheduled to arrive today, but the last scan was the arrival scan at KC on Monday. Now FedEx can't decide when they want to deliver it. Darn "smart"post. I'll see where it's at tomorrow and give FedEx a holler if it hasn't moved by tomorrow night.
Sonic toothbrush, watch, angel costume and birthday hat. I put on the three, brushed my teeth and cried myself to sleep.
<
Best FUKU ever! Members of my family were lining up to take stuff!
Thanks Meh, and Happy Birthday.. looking forward to many more.
It's like duck season eve! All you need are some guys with beards, guns and an RV.
KuoH
I have come to find out I don't have a camera currently as my smartphone wasn't all that smart about water last month. Regardless I got my Fuku today in a nice well preserved box with no exterior damage!
In it contained:
Fuku bag
Confetti
A Meh birthday hat
SASE birthday card to send back to Meh
Popeye throw blanket with sleeves which quickly turned into a battle between wife and cats over ownership for the winter months coming ahead
Wedge Antilles action figure*
Space precinct Office Castle action figure*
Lucky spin scent roulette wheel *
Rydis U60 Pro UV vacuum cleaner!
and finally a Meta Watch Smartwatch!*
I was going to be getting a new smartphone next month anyways. Going to hang onto it and hope it works with the new android phone.
Thank you Meh!
*'s were claimed by me instantly
@Outofmehmind There is a thread just for Fukubukuro reveals....
enter link description here
Once again, I am disappointed in not receiving a Meh Fukubukuro. I keep leaving, forced to recommend this site to my friends and internet, and making them jealous.
THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE MEH! Where is the Meh I know where I keep my VMP membership only because I feel too meh about canceling it?
But alas, because of the way I was raised, I have to thank you. I always look forward to seeing what I get in these. Thanks for the awesome things!

@Tiverty they sent you soylent?
@thismyusername
I should have clarified, there is a lot in a few of those pictures that were not things sent to me. I was just too lazy to get rid of them.
@Tiverty good not even meh would be that mean ;)
I wasn't expecting anything more than a fun but mediocre surprise, but I really got lucky this time!
I got a sphero 2.0! Which I totally wanted to buy for my nephew but didn't feel like I could quite afford when it was offered. Now I'm all set with a really awesome Christmas present for him!
Even without that I would have been happy.
I got a bluetooth speaker (that I'm keeping), an action figure, a Marvel toy that my nephew can stick on his bike helmet, a weird Christmas thing that my mom already claimed and some other things I can't think of right now.
I forgot to mention the confetti! So much confetti!
And a cute party hat that says "meh," and a party horn.
It was like a party in a box.
(And I bet the people in the warehouse are going to be sweeping up confetti for months to come.)
Got mine today!
Filled with joy.
1 watermelon Jolly Rancher messenger bag (perfect for the 5lbs of jolly ranchers I got yesterday).
1 realistic looking motion detection system security camera (this is not a functioning vedio camera) - that's what the box says.
1 roulette table car air freshener
1 stamped, self addressed bday card to meh
1 confetti/meh hat/noise maker
1 Fuku Bag
1 iCarly personalized deluxe planner
1 Dragonball GT Preparation VHS tape
and
1 Rhombus 21 Channel Hi-Fi Bluetooth Audio System - which sounds great!
I have never been more disappointed in my life at buying a randomized prize bag online.
I did enjoy the random more junky meh items, but of the bigger, expensive items I got the metawatch, and the N900 netgear router.
Two problems: first I completely lack a smart phone, tablet, anything; so the watch is effectively useless to me. The second larger problem, the router they sent to me is completely busted. Not even a full manual tftp firmware flash could get it working meaning the thing is broken regardless.
I realize meh had no idea how to tell if I could make use of that watch or not, but sending a broken router when I was thinking of getting one? Desire to use service shattering.
@Toriningen At no point were you promised anything other than "leftover consumer junk" and "Because make no mistake: this bag will be full of stuff you probably don't want and definitely don't need. You can't say we didn't warn you". I'm sorry you expected more, but if your expectations of a five dollar mystery box were not met, then the problem is with you and not the retailer.
@Toriningen just wait until you get a mystery bag from 'the place that lets you win a chance to buy something', or a woot bag o' crap... then you will look back fondly on your broken WNR4500 ;)
I bought the bag thinking I would enjoy only the bag, which was true. I was in the mindset of, "yeah, the bag is worth the 5 bux" and it sort of honestly was. Then I started seeing people getting things like Spheros, something so good I would buy an Android smart device just to use and I got mad let down. Entirely my fault? Sure is, does that stop me from feeling awful about my broken box of stuff? Sure doesn't.
Got my Fukubukuro yesterday. The box was rather large and I noticed it was leaking confetti.
I ended up with some sweet loot!
- 1 Green Lantern journal
- 1 Alice in Wonderland journal set
- 1 Wifi Video Baby Monitor
- 1 VHS tape "Dragonball Z Fusion - Play for Time"
- 1 Samsung 28-Inch Ultra High Definition (4k) LED Monitor (complete with damaged plastic housing)
- 1 Meh. Fuku Bag (Awesomesauce)
- 1 Meh. party hat
- 1 blank Happy Birthday card addressed to meh. and stamped for mailing
- 1 little party horn
- Approximately 1000 or so pieces of paper confetti
- 23 of those air packs for shipping
Best part is that I was in the market for a new monitor for my gaming computer and now I don't have to wait for the next meh deal! This was a great Fukubukuro. #mehday
Got my Fuku today! Definitely a modicum of generosity..
Thanks, excellent #mehday
@Einherjar13 I suck at linking pics
Got mine today
Link to full size photo
A couple thoughts to share about this stuff:
Thanks for the glass meh! I somehow managed to cut my thumb! I'm not sure how. I thought I was being super careful. The glass was once a wine glass I think.
Maybe I shouldn't have taken the Salacious Crumb figures out of their plastic bags. Oh well, they're only worth like 5 dollars each.
The pop kit thing seems pretty cool. "Needs only glueing" ....ehh maybe it'll just stay in that super cool bag it comes in.
Thanks meh
I got:
My first fuku / bag of you know what ever. It rocks.
Dear Meh!!! Happy Birthday!!!
I must say that in all my years of purchasing random surprise bags, what I received from you for your birthday has taken the cake!!!!!

Overall, thank you Meh for the wonderful year and here's to many more!!!!!
Wow! I was away when my package arrived. I was keeping track of its weight, which went from 3 lbs to 23.9 lbs. I was thinking 20 lbs of coal, but what a surprise I got! Here's what was in the box:

My Fuku arrived while I was on vacation.
Just got home and here is the loot:
1 Enormous box
1 Party hat
1 Party horn
1 bday card - hitting the mail tomorrow
1 Hardcover Hollywood Moms coffee table book - woo woo
1 Fuku bag
1 iCarly personalized deluxe planner
1 Giant felt Fairly Odd Parents coloring kit
1 Eragon lunch box

1 Spereo - not sure what it is yet, but looks cool
Lots of confetti
Lots of Texas air
Not a bad haul to soften the blow of returning from vacation
I know this is kinda late, but I found the Space Precinct 2040 episodes on You Tube. Trust me...they are completely meh.
I've seen my fair share of bad sci-fi, but I have no recollection of this show at all! It was interesting seeing the human sized Yoda police officer in the opening sequence. I would half expect a guy in a Vader mask and light saber to pop up somewhere in the show.
