Happy 0th Birthday Fruit for IRKs
10
Hopefully, anyway.
I have much more than this. As many mangoes, bananas, avocados and sapodillas as anyone could ever want. Coincidentally, these all ship well. I have too much fruit and meh has too much junk, so I propose a mutually beneficial exchange: I can send Meh a 2-Day USPS box in return for an IRK–so I can finally land my first one (just as long as it’s not full of masks and Trackrs. I have no use for them and don’t want too much regret 
). <— (am aware I just jinxed myself)
These mangoes and bananas are 4x tastier than supermarket ones, but no promises on the avocado quality (not even sure these’ll ripen 
). Sapodillas would be nice for the staff members that like sweet potato pie.
Yes, @Weboh is the one making the proposal. Were you expecting it to be anyone else?

I don’t even know what sapodillas are but I’d send you an IRK for tasty mangoes and bananas.
@djslack They taste like sweet potato pie!
Thanks for the offer. I could take you up on it—I certainly have enough fruit to give some to everyone who wants some—but I don’t feel like spending a whole day packaging it, and paying a ton in shipping, especially in exchange for junk.
Plus, there’s the novelty of getting it direct from Meh.
(Secretly, I’m holding out hope for a Pasta Drop. I’m a bachelor, and I love pasta. What’s not like?)
@djslack @Weboh
If Meh doesn’t take you up on this, maybe you can cut a deal with ConradHilton:

@Weboh oh, I wouldn’t expect you to take me up on it for a bootleg IRK not actually from the haunted warehouse of KHJ.
But if you start selling it off, @ me for sure.
Edit: @Kyeh is right, @ConradHilton may be a perfect trading buddy if pasta is your bag.
@djslack @Kyeh
That would be a dream come true for me. I work at a non-profit with a bunch of other low-paid interns, so we’d find a use for… a third of that pallet A quarter? That’s an inconceivably large amount of pasta. It dashes my hopes of getting any more pasta, though, since they probably gave all the pasta in 5 states to @ConradHilton…
@ConradHilton @djslack @Weboh So that’s what I’m saying - maybe he’ll make a trade with you! I promise if I get hundreds of pounds of pasta in my next Irk, I’ll do that!
@djslack @Kyeh @Weboh I regret to inform you that I have already donated 690 lbs of pasta to a local charity that cooks meals for the homeless. So, I won’t have any pasta for trade, but I’ve still got 69 IRK bags and a few pounds of toothbrushing coins for trade.
@djslack @Kyeh @Weboh that being said, the 50 lbs I kept for me and the rest of my family is my emotional support pasta, so I know your feels for it.
Meh! Do this!
MEH hopes they do this for you
@ConradHilton @djslack
Anyone want a boxful of mangoes and bananas in exchange for a box of junk?
Looks like Meh didn’t bite.
(in a week or so, I’ll have starfruit*, too–but that’ll be hard to ship without damaging it. I can also throw in a few of any other tropical fruit you’re curious about: miracle fruit, sapodilla, sapote, lemondrop mangosteen*… *the bomb with miracle fruit)
If anyone has an old iPhone 5-SE battery case, that’d make it worth it for me. Of course, an IRK bag and some emotional support pasta would be nice too! Or some fruit you have growing near you, like tree-ripened peaches or cherries.
I’m thinking we could swap a small one of these stuffed chock-full? Unless I can’t fit enough in there. It’s hard to tell without seeing it in person.
Open to anyone in theory, but not everyone. I’ll probably send out 2 boxes at most, unless y’all give me a really good temptation. I definitely have enough fruit to send out 15+ boxes, but I don’t really want to make that kind of effort (and I don’t need that much junk
). I’m not selling any, but a box of non-regret makes a good trade for delicious goodness, right? 
@Weboh sold! I have a surplus of IRKs after this birthday deluge, potentially even some things from your wishlist (not sure if the battery case sold in garage sale, but I’m pretty sure I had one of those). So I’m sure I can do some things that will make you happy.
I am adventurous and like to try things I’ve never tried before, which is most of the stuff on your list. If miracle fruit is the same thing they put in tablets, I’ve had it that way but not as a fruit. I guess my criteria would be if it ships well, send it
Guess we can take this to whispers for address exchanges. Plus I’ll tell you to check pirateship.com before deciding how you’re shipping, unless it’s really heavy the flat rate box probably isn’t the most economical way.
@djslack @Weboh The small flat rate box is a bit bigger than a VCR tape. If I remember both your states correctly, you are probably better off not using a flat rate box unless it gets pretty heavy. Pirateship will give you a discount on the postage. Once you exchange zip codes, you can see prices based on weight. You can use a bathroom scale and round up any ounces to get the weight.
Pretty sure I have a couple cases you are welcome to have. I can check tomorrow.
Tracking hasn’t updated since 7/26, without leaving Ybor City.
I hope some postal workers got to eat some delicious fruit at least.
