@wylel I have a couple Meh bags. Every time we use them I try to nonchalantly show them off, expecting someone to go OMG OMG WHERE DID YOU GET THAT but it hasn’t happened yet
@juststephen I think my first BoC was my favorite; one of the items inside was a 1978 appointment calendar from a professor at a small New England college (I forget which one, but we did deduce it at one point). They must have gotten a wad of stuff from an estate sale or something to fill those boxes, otherwise I don’t know how that would have made it in there.
@guyfromhawthorn I got a really realistic fake foot/leg with even toe wax on the toes and a newspaper article about how guy had a similar one sticking out of his pickup truck and was pulled over.
Got my first one a few months ago after trying since being a member from the Mediocre kickstarter. I just wrote it off as not hitting the button quick enough. Although I’d even try for the last handful at 4pm for VMP’s.
This is my first meh-rathon. Got my first bag. Long time wooter but just got back in the states after 5 years abroad. Just found out about meh a month ago.
I’ve scored at least one Fuku and Fuko… one was a drawstring bag and the other was a fannypack. I only cared to get a bag that I could easily use at the grocery store so both were failures.
i did send the folks a pretty sweet 1st birthday box however… they really seemed to enjoy the butthole surfers sticker the most.
@sammydog01@xzyloz What’s in a blooper? They aren’t sold around here. I have already eaten 2 or 3 of those big rabbits. Good thing I can now buy them 1/2 off (well if there are any left) to continue the gluttony. My financial limit was 3, the caloric limit - umm lets just say chocolate calories don’t count. Right? Oh wait, bloopers might mean they forgot to put the calories in.
/image Whew!
@Kidsandliz@sammydog01 When you buy a 3 pound box of mixed chocolates, you only get the “PRETTY” pieces of candy at over $13/lb. Bloopers are the pieces that aren’t perfect. Same chocolate, same fillings, just a little NOT pretty . . . at $4/lb. I ration mine to about 4 pieces/day, and it lasts for about a month. For being diabetic, that’s pretty good! If you love chocolate like I do, getting good stuff at 66% off is a good thing!
@Kidsandliz@sammydog01 On another topic, have you been to www.tophatter.com ? If you find something you can’t live without, go over to ebay and check the price. Usually the same item, from the same seller, just 10% of the price! It’s seriously addictive. Have fun!
@xzyloz Thanks, never heard of it. I’ll check it out. There is actually a Russell Stover factory outlet I see signs for but have never visited. Maybe they sell bloopers.
@sammydog01 You down by Cookeville, TN? I used to go to the factory store 2-3 times a year. Once bought 40+ pounds of chocolate there before going on cruise with the USN! Ha. My ex-wife ate it all while I was gone. They have bloopers and LOTS of other stuff. After holiday sales are great. Probably some Christmas leftovers really cheap!
@sammydog01 I first learned about Russell Stover from going into an outlet store. FULL FULL FULL of all sorts of good stuff and dirt cheap prices that keep dropping the longer you are there.
@xzyloz I sometimes drive by one in an industrial park in the middle of nowhere, VA. I tried to find it once and couldn’t. Maybe it’s a shipping facility? The website says it’s an outlet with weekend hours- next trip I’ll look for it again.
@Kidsandliz I was wondering about that. I did pass by a little homemade chocolate shop today on my travels- half price Easter candy. It is really good.
@sammydog01 Late yesterday afternoon I hid a couple of big russell stover bunnies in the walmart (put them behind some other candy boxes on the very top shelf - not such a good hiding place but at least they were not obvious) - they weren’t on sale yet really early today (haven’t gone this evening as I had too much work and now I am too tired to drive there to check). Got to check tomorrow. Of course if they actually pick up that place they will find where I put them and then being sneaky won’t have helped me get them. They had apparently been dropped and were in multiple pieces. I wouldn’t have stashed them if they had been all in one piece.
They were better quality and easier to get imo BEFORE implementing their captcha requirement . I am not a “fan” of this captcha but that’s because apparently, I now mysteriously have turned into a robot
Considering I put out over $1k for the taxes today (the first of many to be paid) and found out an hour later I need to spend about $3k for a new furnace, I’d say I deserve the Fuko I got. Small reward for a super shitty day.
@Wolverine350r I actually was referring to the real estate taxes. Taxes here (real estate, school, sewer) run about $8300 a year. Please fucking kill me if I owe the IRS too. Haven’t even gotten around to doing them yet.
@cinoclav ouch, real estate is high here, but I have an older home so only about $2.5k a year. Sewer is rolled into our water bills. The $5k tax on a new car was the one that hurt me this year.
@Wolverine350r Where do you live? I’ll never understand states charging you a tax on your vehicle. We don’t have one in PA besides the obvious sales tax when it’s purchased. I get states like Delaware and New Hampshire and the others with no sales tax have to make it up somewhere but a car tax is insane.
@cinoclav When I lived in VA I paid more for my car tax (personal property tax) than for car insurance. In today’s dollars that would have been about $1800. In a couple of states I have lived in what you pay for your tag depends on the value of your car. I have been lucky. I had a 25 year old car and paid the minimum for years then when it turned 25 I got antique car tags for it. Stupidly I paid for permanent ones ($60) and it died a month later (threw an engine bearing). No refund. Don’t think they’d believe me if I transferred those plates to my now 13 year old car LOL. With my 13 year old car I pay the minimum which is something like $40 or so dollars. Folks with an expensive new car though pay a ton (not sure how much, just heard bitching about it).
@cinoclav The 5k was tax on the purchase, California . The yearly registration will probably be around $600. The old pickup I have is as low as it will ever get at $180/year.
@Wolverine350r If you’re paying $5k in sales tax, that puts the purchase price anywhere from $50k to $70k if I know my CA sales tax rates. I have less sympathy if you’re buying a car for that much. Lol In PA the annual registration fee for a passenger vehicle is $37. As a young person it annoyed me. As I got older and realized the ways of the world I’m incredibly grateful for such a low fee.
@cinoclav@Wolverine350r Property tax is capped here he California (Prop 13), so that’s been a huge factor in me not moving, even though my home has almost doubled in value since I bought 8+ years ago.
@cinoclav yep, right at 50k, 3 row family SUV with awd. I just can’t believe they tax you on on the rebate money. I knew they were going to tax me on the trade-in, which the AZ dealer I bought from did not believe.
@narfcake bought mine about the same time, wish I could say it doubled, but in my area that just doesn’t happen. It’s probably gained 10-15%. I have had yearly property tax swings of up to 30% I just wish it would stay more steady.
Fuku #2, #3, #5, #6. Fuko #2, #10, #12, #? Mehrathon Edition, #17, and now #19. Very noticeable decline in quality of items over time but I guess that’s expected. Still buy them because its fun.
What’s the best thing anyone ever got in one of these bags?
(I always hope to get one, but am never in time. I seldom think to check in at midnight. People buy ‘em FAST, which makes me think they’re full of fun, but I see there were only 29 available today. What the hell? What kinda sale is this? No wonder there’re so many of us disappointed peeps out here.)
@BinkyMelnik Well had I a place to put it I would have gotten a pallet of broken TV’s. I told them, when they called to confirm the address, that I had no place to put a pallet of anything out of the rain. Sob. I could have make working ones out of them. I presume I was to get them because I had posted that I took 2 broken mac laptops I bought for $25 each and on my third try managed to get one working one out of it with only 3 screws left over. O the first try it took nearly 8 hours to disassemble, then reassemble. By the third try I was down to 2.5 hours. LOL.
@BinkyMelnik I think the best thing I probably got was a gaming headset. Not highly rated, but it is functioning. Most have very much lived up to the bag of crap name.
@cinoclav Oh, my goodness! I’m breathless reading about your haul! Your stomach muscles must have aches from laughing! (And the spot between your eyebrows prolly got a good workout, too.) That is absolutely incredible!
Now I really regret never having gotten a bag, as perhaps I mightta lucked into something crazy like that I’d tell stories about for the rest of my life.
@BinkyMelnik I got a (refurbished) 28" Samsung 4K monitor in one. Really that’s the only item of value I’ve ever gotten but it certainly makes up for all the rest of the crap bags. It wasn’t refurbished very well because every couple hours the screen randomly goes black for 2-3 seconds but I use it anyway.
@BinkyMelnik Got a roomba that still in use from first one I got. Second one I got a duffel bag my brother uses and a squatty potty… So well above the cost of purchase assuming I get nothing in any in the future if I get more.
@cinoclav ZOMG. What on earth have you done that’s the Meh people treat you so unmehly?! Wow! At first, I thought they must like you to have sent you a robot vac, but then when i read about the other, uh, package, I began to second-guess myself.
Still, that’s an incredible story! I live in a 10’x13’ room, so I’d better behave myself, lest I’m punished with a package like that!
@raccoon81 When I posted my query, I had NO idea people were gonna respond with such amazing things! Tell me something: the people who get the genuinely good stuff, do they have something in common? Are the favorite posters here? Do they live close to Meh HQ and this have personal relationships with the staff? Are the frequent meh buyers? IOW, if there something I can do to increase my odds of getting something really cool?
(I’m a disabled vet living waaaay below the poverty level, hence I’m always looking for ways to score cool stuff cheaply or free. Thanks for any pointers!)
@BinkyMelnik nah, nothing special about any posting or that they would have any idea who I am. Pretty much just order one if I can and expect nothing of use and ready to toss it to goodwill.
@BinkyMelnik I was absolutely astonished as I went through that box. I don’t think there’s anything in common about those who have received the letters and the extra shipments. Though it seems like there were definitely more of them in the earlier days so I’d say most of us who had received them have been here for quite some time. Funny thing was, when I first glanced in the box I didn’t see the note in the bottom that there was another box coming. I was happy enough with what I had received in the first place. Btw, the robot vac came with a totally different Fuku order.
Yeah… you said I did. Gee, while I’m entering my $$$ info, you take the now $10 MEH bag of meh away???
Whatzzzz up with that? I person thinks that they are purchasing something. Gives you their cc# and information, then
(oh …go figure)
finds out that now you have all the money info, that you’ve changed their “go ahead and buy it already,” toooo…
SORRY, SOLD OUT
WTF??? Just Saying
Got one before. Really cool mug in it, bunch of usb men (so many that I was giving them away). Small garment steamer (it has already came in handy). Small Leeloo figure with no packaging (the cats took that one over). And the meh bag was a great grocery bag size that I use often. Have yet to be asked about it though. I just scored my second Fuko bag after trying and almost being converted into a robot for 6 hours. But my birthday is in a few weeks so maybe I will get my Fuko for my birthday!
Interesting. For the first time my gf has tried to get one. She keeps getting the message ‘you can only buy one’ or whatever it says. Same address but all the other info is different. I don’t recall the rules as to whether it’s one per address? I do seem to remember seeing husbands and wives have both scored them. Maybe they were shipping them elsewhere?
@cinoclav The rule is one per person last I knew. To cut out people with multiple ID’s they might be going by IP address. If it is a dynamic one turn your modum on and off to see if you can get a different IP.
@craigthom No, I got one under my account last night and today she asked if she could get one too. She had set up an account but never uses it. Logged her in but she always got the same message telling her only one.
One Fuko previously by luck, plus one last night after about 8 tries. The first one still is sitting in my living room with everything still in it! I think I only got one Bag of Crap back in the days when WOOT only had photoshop contests on weekends for WOOT bucks. SO many clever photoshop pictures. Long live “Brave Woman!”
Yup.
Yeah I’ve scored one. Fifteen times. (I know somebody has to have more than me though.)
fukoyouo
@kyanostiger i have bought them all except the first Meh-athon offering.
No, but I got a Fukubokuro once.
Haven’t gotten one since September 2016, which feels like about 3000 years ago.
Twice. All I really want are the meh bags.
@wylel I have a couple Meh bags. Every time we use them I try to nonchalantly show them off, expecting someone to go OMG OMG WHERE DID YOU GET THAT but it hasn’t happened yet
@a13z do not hold your breath.
@wylel I only got a Meh bag KIT.
@wylel I’ve only hit once in all these years, and didn’t even get a bag to show for it, just a bubble-mailer with a Meh sticker on it
@craigthom yeah I got that BS too. I just ended up putting the fuko sticker on my laptop and throwing out the burlap
@a13z I get that reaction to my repurposed (upcycled) t-shirt totes.
/image paws jaws parody shirt
/image soft kitty shirt
I’ve gotten a few.
I haven’t scored anything of the sort since my last woot bag of crap back around 2010 or so
@guyfromhawthorn I’ve scored something like 33 BOC’s. However, they’ve all been relatively crappy.
@guyfromhawthorn I have gotten a couple fukos but never a BOC, despite the couple extra years of trying.
@juststephen I think my first BoC was my favorite; one of the items inside was a 1978 appointment calendar from a professor at a small New England college (I forget which one, but we did deduce it at one point). They must have gotten a wad of stuff from an estate sale or something to fill those boxes, otherwise I don’t know how that would have made it in there.

https://meh.com/forum/topics/important-fuko-news
I’ve gotten a few, it’s how I feed my hoarding habits, safely!
Ya, 6 total.
Scratch that. 7 now.
One time. In all these years, one time. Just one time. Yep, just once.
Nope…never
I’ve scored a few but not lately as I’ve apparently become a fucking robot.
Scored only one, but it had a Roomba in it!!!
Never, and I’ve been trying since the BoC days. Guess I’m fuko for life.
Got my first one a few months ago after trying since being a member from the Mediocre kickstarter. I just wrote it off as not hitting the button quick enough. Although I’d even try for the last handful at 4pm for VMP’s.
But why?
“0”
In 3 years, no!
Yep, one, first time I tried, and it was A BAG 'O CRAP!!! There wasn’t a single thing (besides the fuko bag) worth keeping, it ALL went to Goodwill.
This is my first meh-rathon. Got my first bag. Long time wooter but just got back in the states after 5 years abroad. Just found out about meh a month ago.
@evilstan60 I’m glad you found your way here and didn’t get permanently lost in the maze that is the current Woot!.
In my day it was easy to score a Fuku. That was before all you kids showed up! Get off my lawn!!
I have never scored one but I was generously sent one spontaneously back at the beginning.
Yup. And woot is better
Can I get spontaneously sent a Fuku housewarming gift? Zoya will make you a special gift in her belly as a thank you
Rumpelstiltskin comes to mind.
Sick of it! I can never get one. Just send me one out of sympathy. Dang
Yes. What? 3-4 if them?
After the first one I don’t care that much, tho the moment of getting one is kinda fun, and I like the swag.
I try, but it’s as amusing to fail as it is to succeed.
Poll choices are inadequate.
Haven’t tried yet this evening. Busy with life being irritating.
I blame the goat.

@Pamela
I’ve scored at least one Fuku and Fuko… one was a drawstring bag and the other was a fannypack. I only cared to get a bag that I could easily use at the grocery store so both were failures.
i did send the folks a pretty sweet 1st birthday box however… they really seemed to enjoy the butthole surfers sticker the most.
@Noddy93 I hear the fanny packs are coming back (everyone needs a place to carry their gun)
No. Spent my MeH $$$ at RusselStover.com for 10 pounds of chocolate!
@xzyloz Photo? Link? Need to see 10 pounds of chocolate.
@sammydog01
@sammydog01
@sammydog01 Two 3lb boxes of “bloopers” and 6 11oz solid rabbits!
@sammydog01 @xzyloz What’s in a blooper? They aren’t sold around here. I have already eaten 2 or 3 of those big rabbits. Good thing I can now buy them 1/2 off (well if there are any left) to continue the gluttony. My financial limit was 3, the caloric limit - umm lets just say chocolate calories don’t count. Right?

Fuku, yes. Fuko, no: when the authority on mediocre merchandise recommends “pass,” I listen.
Ugh how does everyone manage to get one?
@xindelible they have done something to make the universe very angry with them.
@xindelible The same twelve people that win HQ every day.
I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.
They were better quality and easier to get imo BEFORE implementing their captcha requirement . I am not a “fan” of this captcha but that’s because apparently, I now mysteriously have turned into a robot
@AttyVette I am not good at recognizing storefronts, apparently.

I thought I did but I got a bag of cut-up raw chicken, four loosely poached eggs, two Kinder eggs, a pack of swizzle sticks, and a bloody calf’s eye.
The dog liked it. Was that a Fuko??
I Just Got My First ONE!!!
@shadowgaurdina yeah…now prepare to be disappointed
it will be a funny disappointment though
@AttyVette I’m Counting On It
Has anyone’s gotten all of them?
NO…AGAIN
Fuku #2, #3, #5, #6. Fuko #2, #10, #12, #? Mehrathon Edition, #17, and now #19. Very noticeable decline in quality of items over time but I guess that’s expected. Still buy them because its fun.
@cjrhoades
The question mark one would be #16.
What’s the best thing anyone ever got in one of these bags?

Got one before. Really cool mug in it, bunch of usb men (so many that I was giving them away). Small garment steamer (it has already came in handy). Small Leeloo figure with no packaging (the cats took that one over). And the meh bag was a great grocery bag size that I use often. Have yet to be asked about it though. I just scored my second Fuko bag after trying and almost being converted into a robot for 6 hours. But my birthday is in a few weeks so maybe I will get my Fuko for my birthday!
Finally scored one (besides the one generously given to me one time.)
Exciting times. Can’t wait to be disappointed.
@RiotDemon Yay!
@RiotDemon @sammydog01
Super congrats!
Here’s to hoping it’s a deeply-lucrative-boundary
I wish that there were charts showing the exact traffic peak.
I only bought one that was on sale today…only because I learn about this light about 40 mins ago lol
I meant site not light
Never, and I have lost all hope of ever getting one. However my soul is trapped here so I don’t have anything better to do
No, sucks when you live in rural Midwest US with slower than molasses internet
Interesting. For the first time my gf has tried to get one. She keeps getting the message ‘you can only buy one’ or whatever it says. Same address but all the other info is different. I don’t recall the rules as to whether it’s one per address? I do seem to remember seeing husbands and wives have both scored them. Maybe they were shipping them elsewhere?
@cinoclav The rule is one per person last I knew. To cut out people with multiple ID’s they might be going by IP address. If it is a dynamic one turn your modum on and off to see if you can get a different IP.
@Kidsandliz Thought about that too. We’ll give it a go.
@Kidsandliz Nope, that didn’t work. Oh well - I got mine!
@cinoclav Were you accidentally logged in as her?
@craigthom No, I got one under my account last night and today she asked if she could get one too. She had set up an account but never uses it. Logged her in but she always got the same message telling her only one.
One Fuko previously by luck, plus one last night after about 8 tries. The first one still is sitting in my living room with everything still in it!
I think I only got one Bag of Crap back in the days when WOOT only had photoshop contests on weekends for WOOT bucks. SO many clever photoshop pictures. Long live “Brave Woman!”
Yeah, actually… You guys sent me a vacuum cleaner and it really SuCKS!!! It does. It’s a robot and I love it.
Nope, haven’t been fortunate enough to be fuk-O’ed
