I got one with the black fan blades in a Fuko. That thing produced a lot of noise but blew no air. Thing wobbled like it was just spinning the air inside of the device back and forth without it going anywhere. Maybe that is why I got it. Defiantly seems like this is more for decoration than actual use. Seems like such a waste of metal.
Note: Mine was the alarm clock looking one that you can find on Bed Bath and Beyond's website.
@narfcake Blades seemed fine. Looked more off balance and not enough room for air flow. So it just created a pocket of air, lots of noise, and pushed air back and forth.
If you really loved us, Meh, you'd have BABY GIANT PANDA FANS to celebrate the TWO BABY GIANT PANDAS born just down the block from here tonight. We get a little silly about BABY GIANT PANDAS here in DC, we do.
@gertiestn I dunno, doesn't look like a giant baby Panda to me, unless the human holding it is a QUITE LARGE ADULT HUMAN of humongous proportions to the point where he/she can't so much as fit in a car and would probably need 20 or so of these figurine fans just to keep from boiling over in the mild heat of energy saving 6-watt LED light bulbs.
@densa Are you implying that if we meh an item we may well get it in a Fukubukuro? If yes then we may have a reverse psychology gambit that could lead to the Fukubukuro of our dreams!
If the penguin looked more like Tux, I might buy one, but these are so crappy (can I use that word on Meh.com?) they belong on a three for Thursday sale.
@Freedom1958 I would buy some things shaped like Tux, a monster in the style of Godzilla, or a robot.
For many years I had a life size inflatable emperor penguin (I got the penguin in 1988, I didn't start using Linux until 1993). For the last couple of years of its life, it had an aquarium pump to keep it up, even as the vinyl disintegrated. So I definately appreciate weird art.
On the other hand, this type of steel art doesn't appeal to me. So meh find other styles of weird artsy stuff, and maybe I will buy them. (Why yes my ego is so large that I think meh should choose items solely based on what I might buy.)
Bought two .. Can't wait until Christmas to give as White Ekeohant gifts.. Come to think of it why isn't there an elephant fan??is it because then the fan would be too heavy??
@gommiebears K-Mart used to carry Celebrity brand canned bacon (uncooked), cheap!. Very salty but awesome. I haven't seen it anywhere for years though.
Yoder's bacon is precooked and ready to eat (just unwrap it from the wax paper and heat it up to liquify the congealed bacon fat). Unfortunately NOT cheap but if you want some bacon after a quake, a tornado, or the zombie mehpocalypse, this is your best choice.
@jqubed They may or may not be what you're hoping they are. If you're hoping they're actually little balls of cotton candy, ho-ho! Nope! If, however, you are hoping that they are cotton candy flavored puffed corn balls (so, a cheese ball, but flavored by a crazy person), then you are indeed in luck!
I never considered the danger of fan asphyxiation due to the fan chopping up the oxygen molecules, but I am now. Maybe the fan blades chopping up oxygen molecules is what causes autism? Jenny Mcarthy needs to educate the world about this VERY REAL DANGER!
Our penguin arrived today. At first he seemed confused. Kinda sent air blowing everywhere. The little ribbon was flat. HOWEVER, penguin was plugged into a surge protector. When I plugged penguin into a normal wall socket, the ribbon went flying. So far so cool.

@AttyVette I'm a big fan of this deal
@lichme Glad I caught wind of this deal.
@payote It's cool, that's for sure. And at this blow-out price, I'm in for two more.
@payote this deal blows ,,hot air well maybe cool air too
@narfcake did you noticed they compared the dog fan to a banana ( size wise) guess to make them more a "peeling"
No cat? For that alone, meh.
These fans blow.
Seriously though, mediocre at best.
They are back...
Got the eagle and frog.
@rileyper not Grimace? :(
@rileyper ...u bought two and one was the frog,..is that why u hopped on in for this deal ?
@AttyVette Got a problem with freedom and my spirit animal... I thought this was 'MERICA
@rileyper hehe no problem at all..loved the 'merica gorilla btw..I almost got a frog in my throat when I saw it lol
They were $20 last Mehy, but 100% more cats.
These are unconscionably ugly. Why are people buying them?
@Beardmancer It really is mind blowing how ugly they are. I can't decide if the eagle fan is too terrible to even be a gag gift.
@Beardmancer The kind of people who buy stuff from QVC, and spinster aunts. Maybe even QVC and HSN couldn't unload these so now Meh has them.
@Beardmancer They're art. Modern art. Get with the program.
The designer was really phoning it in with that frog.
Buy these! For $10 they are a steal!
@Teripie Well, they might be steel.
@Teripie Why you gotta put all that pressure on me?

@darkzrobe It sounds like the blades are broken in it. I have no issues with mine.

@gertiestn
Oxymoron.
@gertiestn I dunno, doesn't look like a giant baby Panda to me, unless the human holding it is a QUITE LARGE ADULT HUMAN of humongous proportions to the point where he/she can't so much as fit in a car and would probably need 20 or so of these figurine fans just to keep from boiling over in the mild heat of energy saving 6-watt LED light bulbs.
@gertiestn OMG I totally want to hold a just-born baby giant panda. That's my new goal in life.
I like your selection of items for scale ;)
Not so much the item for sale, sorry...
@duodec At first I thought the toilet paper rolls were sugar cubes and I was really confused.
@christinerenee i thought they were marshmallows
Last time these were up for sale, I made a snarky comment. Somehow, I received one in the last Fuku. Coincidence? I think not.
@densa Are you implying that if we meh an item we may well get it in a Fukubukuro? If yes then we may have a reverse psychology gambit that could lead to the Fukubukuro of our dreams!
Seriously?
@RedOak So you're saying that this blows?
@narfcake Can't quite get to the point of evaluating that characteristic.
In case you think in terms of inches instead of toilet paper, from the above Amazon link, the dimensions: 16.55'' H x 11.45'' W x 6'' D
@RedOak I thought those were very large marshmallows.
This defines meh....

@Freedom1958 You can use the word 'crappy' all you want! Hell, go full bore, call it straight-up shitty!
That's just a turkey with an eagle's head.
@grazapin A concession to Benjamin Franklin's preference for national bird?
I want a cool Dyson airblade fan. Not these ://
Bought two .. Can't wait until Christmas to give as White Ekeohant gifts.. Come to think of it why isn't there an elephant fan??is it because then the fan would be too heavy??
Sorry typo obviously buying for White Elephant gift..
This will be part of my gift for the gift exchange/game at my dog agility club's holiday party. So clearly I bought the dog. Score.

TIL: there is canned bacon in existence.
@gommiebears K-Mart used to carry Celebrity brand canned bacon (uncooked), cheap!. Very salty but awesome. I haven't seen it anywhere for years though.
Yoder's bacon is precooked and ready to eat (just unwrap it from the wax paper and heat it up to liquify the congealed bacon fat). Unfortunately NOT cheap but if you want some bacon after a quake, a tornado, or the zombie mehpocalypse, this is your best choice.
In case these fans are too inexpensive, an alternative for richer blood (source: ad on the Amazon page) - $472.50 and shipped free, with a low price guarantee! www.lampsplus.com/products/melody-brushed-nickel-wall-mount-fan__h8443.html
I feel like this is something everyone knows but I'm asking anyway; where is today's video?
@Superjimtendo https://meh.com/forum/topics/change-to-video-schedule
I answered all B on that quiz.
So, cotton candy balls are a thing that exists and can be purchased?
@jqubed They may or may not be what you're hoping they are. If you're hoping they're actually little balls of cotton candy, ho-ho! Nope! If, however, you are hoping that they are cotton candy flavored puffed corn balls (so, a cheese ball, but flavored by a crazy person), then you are indeed in luck!
@brhfl - Don't you mean in yuck? ;-)
@brhfl I am disappoint. But I should probably still try it. For science.
Why do these even exist?
If the fan doesn't work, maybe I can use the eagle as a decoy in the barn.
@zahgrim also maybe it will give you eagle eyes to spot other meh deals!
How easy would it be to remove that shitty frog from the fan?
@G1 Tin snips and a grinder unless you don't mind a razor-sharp metal edge, in which case just tin snips.
@Pufferfishy duct tape. Won't hurt the looks.
@RedOak This is true. A dead badger wouldn't hurt the looks.
The butt-ugly dog with the cleft palete is the only one with metal blades?
I think the frog is smiling because frog-fan marriage is finally legal in this great country and they just finished consummating their marriage.
@Al_Coholic you are "leaping" to that conclusion..
@Al_Coholic you don't have to ribbit in
@Al_Coholic It was in the footnotes of the SCOTUS ruling.
I never considered the danger of fan asphyxiation due to the fan chopping up the oxygen molecules, but I am now. Maybe the fan blades chopping up oxygen molecules is what causes autism? Jenny Mcarthy needs to educate the world about this VERY REAL DANGER!
@sjk3
Flea market.
I am astounded that nearly 500 of these have sold. People really will throw money at anything.
Bought some last time. Gave the rooster to my boss who collects rooster stuff, it works fine and circulates well with no noise.
One weird thing, my VMP disappeared. And yes, I've bought this month before.
@Cerridwyn It's back now. Weird.
:( Frog one is sold out, guess that's what I get for checking in so late
@Froggy yep, sometimes you have to hop right to it!
Hey Mr Figurine Fan, blow a breeze for me.
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to.
Our penguin arrived today. At first he seemed confused. Kinda sent air blowing everywhere. The little ribbon was flat. HOWEVER, penguin was plugged into a surge protector. When I plugged penguin into a normal wall socket, the ribbon went flying. So far so cool.
