@CaptainSparkles The Flamingo is about 15" high, and the Lips about 12" high. Don’t quote me on this, because I’m purely going off memory and I didn’t actually measure.
Well, I’m pretty glad I haven’t touched the alcohol yet, cause I’m pretty sure I would have thought it was a good idea to buy these if I had been drinking!
These are awesome. And I genuinely admire meh’s manifest desire and ability to market Bluetooth speakers, and to say to the “well you can’t get any weirder than that” scoffers, “hold my beer”.
Not that I have any use for one of these. I kinda wish I did.
In any case, meh, I salute you. Keep the goofy shit coming.
Today was your chance, Meh, to sell me a thing I actually wanted. I don’t often want a thing, but today I wanted some bluetooth wireless noise-canceling headphones, a class of item that’s right in your wheelhouse.
And you missed by such a small margin, bluetooth speakers are almost it! Now I have bought what I wanted from another place, and it will probably be another year before I want a thing. Better luck next time.
(Not that I don’t occasionally buy things from Meh, but when I do they’re not things I actually want, just things that I can be persuaded to buy on a whim. I guess that business model works too.)
@Bingo Perhaps that model sold/sells well enough to have avoided being offered on Meh. It’s certainly the only one of the three I’d consider, personally.
I checked the specs to simply & specifically find out the size of the Speaker. For example if the speaker is 12’ X 7" I would buy it, but if it’s 2"x2" I would Not. Since, Meh simply, and specifically left out that damn information, this is a ‘No Buy’!
Buying the flamingo to mount on a pole above my 1962 Shasta Astrodome to assist in finding it at music festivals late at night in the sea of RVs. You would think it would kind of stand out with the wings and all but…
One is definitely brighter than the other, but we’re happy. Now we need blue and purple LEDs, a set of palm trees, and a light that looks like the sun from Mario 3.

We’re using the term portable pretty loosely here aren’t we?
@vinuash
Seems way more portable than what Raheem’s carrying. You don’t think you could port it?
@vinuash Hell, I’ve seen people wear hats less portable.
@vinuash Not to mention that it’s untethered to power or sound source.
You got some sort of problem with flamingo or flaming lip appendages?
/giphy hater
@vinuash you know what they say about loose lips…
@katbyter
/image sink ships
Glad there isn’t a cactus
@huntd Right? Because then we’d have to buy it.
May the Fifth be with you!
@phendrick-Nice, but I’m more of a ‘101’ fan. Anyway, Cinco de Mayo [not mayo-nase, but May]!!
Haha, just got this year’s work white elephant party gift
@operaticus Perfect!
@operaticus The remote fart machine was probably the best, but this is a very close second.
I LOVE THE FLAMINGO!
either you guys have been drinking waaaaay too much, or far too little.
/youtube rocky horror picture show lips
Seriously…what is going on here?
Oh, forgot…it’s meh…
these are a 7 on the margarita scale.
only after 7 margaritas would buying these seem like a good idea.
“Sounds lit.”
You’ve got to have a higher resolution picture. I’ve got to know that song title from the Woke Mix!!1!
/giphy woke mix
@stinks
“Coffee” by Sylvan Esso, a band (and song) I rather like.
FWIW, the song in the flamingo photo seems to be “She’s a Riot” by The Jungle Giants.
Not bad, but a bit fluffy.
For the unicorn version that Meh isn’t selling, the song is “Youth” by Glass Animals, another band (and song) I rather like.
Does that make me their demographic?
Just a guess - even at the lofty $39 Amazon price - these gadgets aren’t actually “neon”.
@RedOak Neon colored counts as neon, right?
@RedOak
Hey bluetooth speaker on meh: it’s either LED or it’s neon. You can’t be both!
/giphy make up your mind
@RedOak Fake neon! What’s Meh coming to?
This is actually pretty perfect, my band name is The Kissing Flamingos… so I’m in for two.
@iPatrick
I have an urge to go to Funky Town.
Ummm… NeOn.
I guess the unicorn version wasn’t weird enough?
https://www.primebrandsgroup.com/collections/sounds-lit
But how tall are they? I need to know for Science!
@CaptainSparkles The Flamingo is about 15" high, and the Lips about 12" high. Don’t quote me on this, because I’m purely going off memory and I didn’t actually measure.
@CaptainSparkles @troy
TWSS
@CaptainSparkles the captain sparkles or just a fan?
@RiotDemon Just a fan.
Plus my original choice was already taken.
@CaptainSparkles
/giphy thumbs up
@CaptainSparkles @therealjrn @troy
“That”
- She
Well, I’m pretty glad I haven’t touched the alcohol yet, cause I’m pretty sure I would have thought it was a good idea to buy these if I had been drinking!
A true wtf, meh?
… words escape me.
I wouldn’t be opposed to a “neon” bluetooth speaker in principle, but flamingos and disembodied lips don’t do it for me.
@TheFLP
How about now?
@TheFLP
How about now?
@GLaDOS
Weirder than lips on a bluetooth speaker, but more interesting.
Do these have a 1/8" connection (headphone jack) for good old-fashioned audio-in? Or are they Bluetooth-only?
@ZPB Nobody?
@ZPB Ya the audio in jack is on the back, to the right of the cassette tape slot.
@ZPB nope, Bluetooth only
@Moose Shame. Thanks!
The product description is worth the visit tonight.
The poll question tonight should be:
Are you buying today’s product as a joke gift?
Found the Hot Lips speaker on Amazon. $39, but no reviews.

@cfhook58 Yes, meh conveniently provided the link in the description. But good exercise eh?
These are awesome. And I genuinely admire meh’s manifest desire and ability to market Bluetooth speakers, and to say to the “well you can’t get any weirder than that” scoffers, “hold my beer”.

VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot “VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO!“ indeed. I couldn’t have said it better. I guess sometimes even you get it right.
Today was your chance, Meh, to sell me a thing I actually wanted. I don’t often want a thing, but today I wanted some bluetooth wireless noise-canceling headphones, a class of item that’s right in your wheelhouse.
And you missed by such a small margin, bluetooth speakers are almost it! Now I have bought what I wanted from another place, and it will probably be another year before I want a thing. Better luck next time.
(Not that I don’t occasionally buy things from Meh, but when I do they’re not things I actually want, just things that I can be persuaded to buy on a whim. I guess that business model works too.)
@ravenblack if you are drunk enough to buy these, you are drunk enough to wear them on your head. So, they are headphones.
@ravenblack Buy two. Surely you have some duct tape?
It would seem they also had a unicorn one as well.
@Bingo Perhaps that model sold/sells well enough to have avoided being offered on Meh. It’s certainly the only one of the three I’d consider, personally.
@Bingo @PooltoyWolf Likewise. Of course I’d add a knife too.
https://www.teeturtle.com/products/stabby-the-unicorn
@Bingo the choice for pink for the horn was unfortunate. It makes it look x rated.
@Bingo @OnionSoup
@Bingo @narfcake I prefer my unicorns to be inflatable…like this one Meh once sold here!
This will be late for Mother’s Day, but mom will just have to wait.

@decoratedwarvet
That would be one oddly shaped speaker…
@chienfou @decoratedwarvet And definitely not portable.
@chienfou @decoratedwarvet @sammydog01 Challenge accepted.
@decoratedwarvet Amazon package dims are 15.2 x 13.7 x 4.4 inches for the Hot Lips – The lips are around a foot tall.
@blaineg
To make the speaker… or to carry it?
@chienfou To make it portable. I like a challenge on occasion.
At 12 feet long it would only hang out the back of the minivan a few feet.
@blaineg and probably would still be lighter than a 12 ft 2x8…
But it Sounds Lit.

@oldmantick I love those. I’ve been lurking for years trying to find one to refurb. Have any pics you’d be willing to share?
Holy fuck. I had to buy two pink flamingos. My girlfriend just ranted about her new plan for a vaporwave living room for 5 minutes.
/image fantastic-warlike-salamander
/giphy fantastic-warlike-salamander
@Seeds I want to see this vaporwave room
@Moose we’ll post pictures as soon as she does it.
Man! I can only buy 3? I want 3 for every room in my house
These would be an AWESOME gag Xmas gift.
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
No
+1 Viper1 …should call em NENO not NEON
@heartfeltsf
NEON -> NOEN -> NONE would be more appropriate.
This has got to be the mehest thing to date.
Bluetooth speaker? Check.
No reviews? Check
Wtf factor? CHECK!

@therealjrn aww, poor chinchillas.
/giphy chinchilla
@RiotDemon @therealjrn Chinchillas are cute, and extremely fluffy. I think they’re 90% fluff.
My brother had one as a pet when we were kids.
One is definitely brighter than the other, but we’re happy. Now we need blue and purple LEDs, a set of palm trees, and a light that looks like the sun from Mario 3.
@Seeds
Btw if anyone knows where to source a Mario sun, let me know.
@Seeds So does it really look like neon?
@sammydog01 only on one side, so we can’t face them in opposite directions, but yeah. Dimmer, but close.
