Here's to the Fuko fillers!
43Here’s to the Fuko fillers,
the tired, the sweaty,
cramming round junk into square boxes;
The ones who pack all the crap.
They’re not fond of Fukos,
and have no respect for those who buy them.
They can curse them, disagree with them, denounce them, or vilify them,
but the only thing they can’t do is ignore them, because it’s their job.
They push our boxes out the door,
and while some may forget about them, we can not,
because the ones who are crazy enough to fill our boxes
are the reason we get our Fukos.
Seriously though, three cheers for all the staffers and warehouse peeps who volunteered (were forced, required, mandated, etc) to prep all this crap into god knows how many boxes for this round of Fukos, and getting these out the door in Fuko-record time. Thanks all!

I picture Meh’s warehouse as bit like Willy Wonka’s factory full of oompa lumpas. You enter and there is a field of Candy Corn surrounded by trees that have speaker docks growing on them… And fields when wild sentient hubmen run wild and free.
It’s not work to stuff the Fukus… It’s a labour of love for the little oompa lumpas. They’re like the Ood from Doctor who, a sentient race born with the desire the serve.
@OnionSoup It’s just a warehouse. And it’s a lot of work. A. LOT. OF. WORK.
@ChadP well that’s rather disappointing… So no oompa lumpas? Not even a pet one?
People have to do the work? That doesn’t sound fun. I offer a free hug and a virtual beer to them all… Many thanks to you… And may you all have pet oompas in the future.
@OnionSoup
Oompa oompa oompa de doo
We’ve got a fuko ready for you
Oompa oompa oompa dee dee
It’s full of random warehouse debris
@ChadP @OnionSoup Lies. We know you’re Oompa Loompas. And we know those “speaker docks” are actually Oompa Loompa poop.
@brainmist I thought that was the candy corn
@nolrak Nope. That’s oompah loompah sperm. Spoompah, you might say. And now you know why they’re orange.
And very crabby.
@ChadP way to suck all the romance out of retail.
or whatever the heck it is you guys are doing.
But my guess is that there IS (are?) oompah loompahs there and you’re trying to keep it quiet.
they probably don’t have proper documentation or something . . .
I got the lazy filler, they opened a GoWise 3.7qt Air Fryer box, tossed a Fuko bag in it then slapped my shipping label on it and called it a day.
@TaRDy Can you reach out to CS? meh.com/support
@ChadP @TaRDy I think a lot of things were shipped like this. The box opened and things put inside and then taped back up and shipped that way.
Mine was. I got a cooker, inside was a practice golf ball, a deck of cards and smartphone camera lenses. And, of course, the cooker. No bag, but I bought one with a shirt. (I’m not complaining here, I’m more than happy with what I’ve gotten.)
But the reveal thread has others getting their stuff the same way.
@lisaviolet @TaRDy We’re investigating. Send a message to CS if you didn’t get a bag in your Fuko please. meh.com/support
@ChadP @lisaviolet @TaRDy
When I opened my double box (one box over another) and looked at the big item in it, I noticed that part of the box was missing, and there was a lot of tape on the box.
When I removed the shipping label from the plastic packet, I realized that originally they WANTED to ship the Fuko in the product box, but realized that it wasn’t a smart idea.
So they then removed the label, and stuck it on a regular brown box.
@ChadP @lisaviolet @PlacidPenguin @TaRDy if I ever start a band, I’m going to call it Regular Brown Box
@ChadP I saw others who received a similar Fuko. I’m not to worried about it, nice product for $5 even if I already have one. I’ll also double check the contents of the box and verify it is only the cooker in there and hope that it is brand new just slightly damaged box.
I’d appreciate it if the fuko fillers would keep their sweaty round junk out of my box.
@medz
I’m thinking it’s more like a mirthful transient tribe - like carnies or inventory workers - going from company to company stuffing mystery boxes. Maybe some of them having a little too much mirth at the end of the previous session.
/giphy fuko pirates
@walarney “mirthful transient tribe” is a GREAT order number!
@therealjrn @walarney Took the words out of my mouth!
I thought I just got a robot vacuum in my fuko…
The next day, I noticed the box was slightly bulging so I opened it.
Inside was a robot vacuum… and a bunch of other shit!
10 ft micro usb cable
3 ft micro usb cable (with MEH box that folds into a phone stand :P)
silver woman’s watch
a single practice Titleist golf ball
React Sidekick “Personal safety device”
and a “Compact DVR Pen Camera”
Sweet last Fuko!!
@raynich man, whoever returned that robovac really should clean their floors more often, it sure sucked up a lot of junk
Thanks warehouse guys! I know it was a lot of work. You people rock!
@sammydog01 and warehouse gals!

/giphy hail the warehouse workers!
Thanks to everyone who packs these! I love the random crap you throw in the box for me! Mainly cause I love surprises and random junk…err items
my :cough: 2nd fuko was a food sealer box with extras.
it included a red fuko bag.
and I have no complaints.
This was my first Fuko, and I am amazed at the items. You guys are great. Thank you.
