The previous IRK I got had the most dissapoinig contents I ever got in IRK. And it cost me $75 (bought it kind of by mistake.). I wish I managed to cancel it before it shipped.
@Shoebox23 I’m actually looking for a good grocery bag. The ones they make now don’t compare to the old Aldi ones I had. Those things were tough. I swear you can put a hundred pounds in them if you want (they don’t make them anymore it seems)
@Shoebox23 I got the IRK just a few seconds after Aaron Judge struck out. There is no way I would have won it if he hit number 62. I would not have had enough focus or luck.
OMG, I wasn’t even paying attention to the page. It was on in the background, saw it change to IRK, didn’t even have to prove I wasn’t a robot (just check box). Woohoo!!
Instant regret is right. I already regret it. But not enough to cancel… this is my first ever IRK. It just would’ve felt a lot less regretful at the $5 price point.
Wow. Was finally able to come back to my house today after evacuating for Ian. Found very minimal damage and even have power and internet. And now, I even score an Irk!! After a really shitty week, it’s ending very nicely!

@Bingo that is awesome! So glad to hear your damage was minimal! My friend lives in Venice and they got hit really hard. We know she’s ok, but she only has spotty cell service and doesn’t have power, so she hasn’t been able to let us know what the extent of her damage is. I’m guessing it’s not gonna be good.
Thank you all. And yes, we got really, REALLY lucky. This one scared me. I know people nearby who had some damage, and I know people further south who had catastrophic damage. People will be spending years building back from this and some will never recover. It’s very sobering but also making me extremely grateful.
I don’t know why but my payment information always seems to be wrong right before the IRK comes up. Fortunately, with 6 seconds to spare, I corrected it and got one!
Are Canadians no longer able to get an IRK? You keep deleting my credit card number and won’t let me change my Country to Canada even though it is an option. When I put the info in it keeps changing back to USA. The time it would take for me to enter it manually each time I order guarantees I will not get an IRK. Yet you accepted my other purchase today so the information I had to re-enter on purchase is correct.
Apparently $10 (without the coupon subsidy) is the “sweet spot” — at least from the business perspective. Until the regret sets in more fully and people decide it’s not quite $10 of fun…
But as I was saying, they still sell out amazingly fast, but more of us are able to get one. Everybody wins! Except us who bought one and get stuck with $10 of crap. So in the end, Meh wins the most.
(Actually, I don’t remember how many IRKs are normally sold in a clump. Today it appears to be 125, but I don’t know if that’s more or less than usual. That could affect what “selling out” means for success.)
@capguncowboy@xobzoo Well, last year when they were pretty much monthly, they dropped to 25 or so per round - but then there were also more of them per day. I like this better; I don’t end up watching my phone as obsessively.
@Kyeh Good question! Lol… I guess i figured it was pretty accurate & was probably afraid of what else might come up, knowing /giphy! Plus, i kinda like disparaging /giphy, it’s become a bit of a hobby lately.
Magpies in Australia during nesting season are quite protective of their nests and will attack anyone that comes even close. They can cause serious injuries and people have to be very careful to watch out for them for those few weeks in spring.
This woman was testing whether putting eyes on the back of her bike helmet would keep the birds from attacking. They did not.
My IRK shipped today! Last timeI won, I got blue light blocking glasses, two sticker packages, Bluetooth earbuds (connected), two car USB plug-in ports, two back up battery phone chargers, and an IRK bag. I didn’t need any of it but is was a good haul for $5. I hope at $10 this time, there’s even better crap. Maybe even something from cuisinart potentially?

@Ark_kun So you’re saying it was a resounding success?
I have found success

here comes a giphy
/giphy haunted-coherent-mallard
Finally got one! Even with hills/mountains
Noice. I showed up at just the right time.
/giphy appreciative-buttoned-tub
Holy cow. I got one.
Now to wait anxiously for disappointment.
@jjnova That’s the best part. I got my first IRK several months ago and the only thing I use from it is the bag. Perfect for groceries.
@jjnova @Shoebox23 That sounds about right!

Take that tractors!
Welp

@moonhat Congrats!

I did it! I’m shocked. Genuinely shocked.

@xobzoo They’re trying to maximize our regret, cuz that’s the kind of benevolent used car salespeople…er, overlords…they are!

Woo hoo! Finally scored one!

@Bingo
Good for you! And thanks goodness for not being devastated by the hurricane, you’re extremely lucky!!

@Supersox That’s happened to me before, too. Weird.
My first IRK! I’m still excited after buying so this must be a Delayed Regret Kit.
Even after picking the bicycles …

@xobzoo not sure about the last few times they’ve sold, but I’m the past, it was either 100 or 200 at a time

I finally got one! It’s been a long time… Come to mama, you beautiful pile of regret!

Eww. Thanks for nothing, /giphy.
@ircon96 Yay! Congratulations! But why didn’t you cycle through for a different giphy if you don’t like muscle-boy here?

@bady the video that giphy is from is soo funny.
Magpies in Australia during nesting season are quite protective of their nests and will attack anyone that comes even close. They can cause serious injuries and people have to be very careful to watch out for them for those few weeks in spring.
This woman was testing whether putting eyes on the back of her bike helmet would keep the birds from attacking. They did not.
@bady @k4evryng
I don’t think I would have went through all of that, especially since I’ve seen the movie The Birds!
@Lynnerizer yup!
I haven’t seen that movie in years, but I remember that it was scary!
Magpies are just another addition to the list of things in Australia that will kill you.
(and yet… I’d love to travel there someday, lol!)
