So @PlacidPenguin you are volunteering to be the royal poison food taster? Better be careful. The poison might be at such a low dose you will need to taste a lot of it to be sure it is safe for @Barney.
@Barney@RiotDemon I think it’s like baby steps. First you learn to live with a smartphone box… then when the anxiety subsides and you’re doing well, you use a friend’s smart phone to make a call, then the next thing you know, you’re sporting a sweet new purple Samsung Galaxy S9.
@PlacidPenguin@Seeds the wasabi is actually not bad at all. The best Japanese flavor I had, though, was asahi sandwich (I think). It’s a red bean paste that seems like the Japanese equivalent to pb&j. Rum Raisin is not too bad either. My wife bought me a sample pack specifically because of wasabi and they did not disappoint.
@djslack@PlacidPenguin@Seeds Personally I’m a fan of Green Tea Kit Kats. It’s a little bit odd eating a green Kit Kat, but they taste surprisingly good. Usually not a fan of varied tastes but I grab a bag of them when I see them in a store.
@sligett Charger? I need a charger? Don’t think I got one in the box. But I did get a quick start guide. Perhaps I should read it. I might be doing something very wrong. I don’t want to damage my box.
@Barney@Seeds Some of the thrift stores here think anything with an Apple logo is worth $$$. Most recently, I ran across price tags of $100 for a PowerBook G4 and $50 for a 4th gen iPod.
@Barney@Seeds I stuck an apple sticker on the back of my two year old beat up Galaxy s7’s case. I don’t know about its value but it has at least doubled the number of chuckles I can get for pulling it out in public.
@Barney@narfcake If I had to guess, it’s for people selling their used phones. Most people don’t hold onto the box, but I’d imagine phones in boxes sell better either because people like boxes, it sounds newer, or you’d expect someone who saved the box to take care of it.
@Barney I saw a link earlier today that reminded me how you used to only write the same phrase over and over. When did you start talking about things other than your feelings concerning a certain color? Was there fanfare or did it just happen?
@Seeds Basically, I was made Goat and if I had to say “I love purple” over and over, for an entire month, I would have gone crazy. (Well, crazier than I am now.)
I said fifty foam rocks, not empty phone box. Geez. Have to do everything.
@ThomasF
I’ll take the 50 foam rocks.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@ThomasF I’ll file a complaint if any of my edibles purchases are broken.
@Barney
Want me to come over and help you check them?
I’ll even
selflesslyselfishly check to make sure that they taste ok.@PlacidPenguin I’ll send you all of the broken pieces.
So @PlacidPenguin you are volunteering to be the royal poison food taster? Better be careful. The poison might be at such a low dose you will need to taste a lot of it to be sure it is safe for @Barney.
@Barney @Kidsandliz @f00l @narfcaake @ruouttaurmind
I’m not worried.
Remember, while I believe that Barney believes that she lives in Oz, I do not believe that such a place exists.
Since no such place exists, the previously mentioned food exists in a state of unbeing, since it’s in a place which doesn’t exist.
As such, there is no chance of any such food ending up by me.
@ThomasF Did this fail to fall into a Fuko box?
@Barney @f00l @Kidsandliz @PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind Wait…Barney is a female…I am so confused…
@rustyh3
So am I.
@rustyh3
/image there are no females on the internet
While that photo is tiny and must be zoomed a lot to read, it seems oddly (in)appropriate.
@Barney @f00l @Kidsandliz @ruouttaurmind @rustyh3
Confusion is healthy.
I’m so happy I bought the Meh “Pop” Phone Holders today. I now have my own iPhone box I can install them on.
This pleases me.
@RiotDemon My getting an empty box pleases you?
@Barney @RiotDemon I think it’s like baby steps. First you learn to live with a smartphone box… then when the anxiety subsides and you’re doing well, you use a friend’s smart phone to make a call, then the next thing you know, you’re sporting a sweet new purple Samsung Galaxy S9.
@ruouttaurmind Purple? I LOVE purple! And I love my iPhone box, too. It’ll do me just fine for now.
@Barney knowing that someone at meh is a sick sadistic fuck pleases me.
@RiotDemon Well, that’s true, because it terrified me that there might be a phone in there.
@Barney one day…
@Barney @RiotDemon when that magical day comes…I haz referral code.
@medz @RiotDemon I hear you.
@Barney @RiotDemon If there had been a phone in there think of the money you could have made selling it.
I did some mediocre household remodeling.
@PlacidPenguin Much better.
Hey, I have a 64GB iPhone… without a box. Très bizarre.
@ruouttaurmind Ah ha! You’ve been sneaking around the Meh warehouse looking through the Fuko trash. Just contact me if you want your missing box.
Did it have a Google Pixel phone inside?
@medz Actually, I was relieved that the box was empty. I don’t think I’m ready for a smartphone yet.
I just got home, so I haven’t opened my Edible thingy box yet. I wonder if I got a phone box, too.
@craigthom Just remember, we can’t all be special.
@Barney @craigthom My Momma always told me that I was special.
Turns out, the Board of Education agreed.
Maybe this should have been inside your bonus edible gift box?
/image edible chocolate iphone
@speediedelivery Does it come in android?
@Barney
@heartny Aw, that’s too cute to eat.
Edit: Break me off a piece of that KitKat bar.
@Barney @heartny
I was disappointed in 2013 when I realized that I wouldn’t be able to find the bar in a store near me.
I couldn’t even try getting one of those bars which offered the chance to win Play Store credit or a Nexus 7.
@PlacidPenguin I
Kit Kat bars.
@Barney
@PlacidPenguin What flavor is that?
@Barney
They are purple flavored.
But in all seriousness (trying very hard to be serious right now), they are called KitKat Beni Imo.
Inspired by the purple sweet potato.
https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Kit-Kat-Purple-Chocolate/dp/B0046Y75DG
@Barney @PlacidPenguin I am not so sure a sweet potato flavored chocolate bar would taste all that good.
@Barney @Kidsandliz
According to the reviews, the bars are sweet.
@Kidsandliz @PlacidPenguin I think I’ll pass.
@Barney
You either don’t like sweet things or vegetables.
@PlacidPenguin I want my Kit Kat bars to be chocolate.
@Barney
They ARE chocolate though. They just have purple sweet potato flavoring.
@PlacidPenguin There are so many flavors of kitkats… wasabi sounds disgusting.
@PlacidPenguin @Seeds the wasabi is actually not bad at all. The best Japanese flavor I had, though, was asahi sandwich (I think). It’s a red bean paste that seems like the Japanese equivalent to pb&j. Rum Raisin is not too bad either. My wife bought me a sample pack specifically because of wasabi and they did not disappoint.

I’m working on fixing the picture for you.
I messed up, and now I have to start over.
Meh literally uses us to get rid of their trash!
@ELUNO And we love them for it.
@ELUNO @sammydog01 And pay them so they don’t have to pay to have it hauled of LOL
That’s a nice box.
@mossygreen It is nice, isn’t it?
You’ll have to charge that box up before it’ll do anything. Didn’t they include the charger? Those cheapskates.
@sligett Charger? I need a charger? Don’t think I got one in the box. But I did get a quick start guide. Perhaps I should read it. I might be doing something very wrong. I don’t want to damage my box.
Oh, I did get 2 Apple stickers.
@Barney Ask @shahnm for some batteries if they didn’t include a box charger. I am sure he has extra in his fridge.
@Barney Oh dear. Yes, read the quick-start guide immediately! You may be holding the box wrong.
@sligett Yikes!
@Barney Two apple stickers?! You’re rich! Stick those on any two electronic devices and they will instantly triple in value.
@Barney @Seeds Like maybe stick them on your/her
smartflip phone. Tell people it is vintage apple.@Seeds Promise?
@Barney @Seeds Some of the thrift stores here think anything with an Apple logo is worth $$$. Most recently, I ran across price tags of $100 for a PowerBook G4 and $50 for a 4th gen iPod.
@narfcake Nope, just can’t see it.
@Barney @Seeds I stuck an apple sticker on the back of my two year old beat up Galaxy s7’s case. I don’t know about its value but it has at least doubled the number of chuckles I can get for pulling it out in public.
@Barney @djslack @Seeds

@djslack @narfcake @Seeds
That’s my box! The very same box. I’m rich! I’m rich! Plus, I’m doubly rich with my stickers and quick start guide. Woo hoo!
This is a joke, right?
@Barney Never underestimate Apple’s customers.
The kicker is that at that price, it’s more than what my Windows Phone is worth. By about $15.
@narfcake But why buy an Apple box? I don’t get it.
@Barney I don’t either, but then again, I have no idea what meh was selling a couple weeks ago, and yet, I still bought it.
@narfcake Yeah, me too. -sigh-
@Barney @narfcake If I had to guess, it’s for people selling their used phones. Most people don’t hold onto the box, but I’d imagine phones in boxes sell better either because people like boxes, it sounds newer, or you’d expect someone who saved the box to take care of it.
@Seeds Admittedly, I
my Apple phone box, but there is no way I’d pay that much money for it.
OTOH, maybe it’s time to start investing in phone boxes.
@Barney smart idea. Boxes are sure to be our future currency.
@Barney I saw a link earlier today that reminded me how you used to only write the same phrase over and over. When did you start talking about things other than your feelings concerning a certain color? Was there fanfare or did it just happen?
