@lichme I think a lot may be I agreement there. It's cute. But meh. Now if it were something I'm more into. I may be all over it. But looney toons. Not so much.
Shit. I just bought six Sylvesters. My husband is going to kill me. But, I've got kids' birthday presents taken care of for a while, so that's good, right? Kids will like this, won't they? If not, I'm screwed.
I think kids will like them, but what do you have against Tweety Bird? I bought one of each for my niece and nephew and my plan is to pre-load them with music before I give them as gifts.
@christinerenee I always thought Tweety was ridiculously annoying when I was a kid. Plus, I thought Sylvester would be better for the age ranges I'm gifting to.
@jjohns71 I want more speaker docks. I still need about 5. I'm actually using the speaker dock as speakers for my work computer and an outlet to charge my phone :)
@jmhsrv Haven't used but quoting user guide: During music play, press + to increase the volume level. Press - to decrease the volume level. Note: On this MP3 player, the maximum sound level is limited at 80dBA. You are strongly advised to set the volume level to medium. The medium level is usually less than 2/3 of the maximum
@shawn semi-serious since I could care less about the MP3 player functionality. The ear buds would be put into kid service. And anyone having used a USB 3.0 device to move a large or many files detests going back to 2.0.
@JonT might be time to fire up the bulk USB stick duplicator. Opportunity to actually distribute your melodic message via the next Fuku/Fuko. #halo2cloudrecorder.
@JonT please remember all the fun hours spent loading those #halo2cloudrecorder so I would receive an empty one anyway. (just sayin, p.s. I appreciate the effort)
@venussuz Interestingly- for your confirmation phrase- dispensable-acrid-yogurt, this is the first image that came up on the search WHICH WASN'T LISTED AS FROM MEH.COM, I.E., ALREADY ON THIS PAGE [5/6 images before it were]! dispensable-acrid-yogurt
I'd be all over this if it had free shipping but the price difference between here and Amazon isn't sufficient to make it an impulse purchase. Maybe I'll grab one off Amazon later this year as a stocking stuffer. So price equals big MEH!
@Aquaman What math? I didn't give any math in my comment. I'll put some down though. $8 for the player plus $5 for shipping is $13. You can get it for for than $4.60 more on Amazon. That isn't enough difference for an instabuy. Also there is no way I'm paying $5 to ship this item. That's 60% of the price of the item just for shipping. It's worth less than $3 for shipping at the most.
Can this be a 2 for 1 deal? Can I use the earbuds as earbuds plugged into a Kindle/iPod/device of your choice, and use Tweetie as a flash drive to transfer photos and such? Where else can u get a set of earbuds and a memory stick for $8? And Looney Tunes! Bonus! What child hasn't broken their earbuds and lost their flash drive? I think I need several to keep on hand so the next time my child tells me at 8:45pm on a Monday night that she needs a flash drive to take pictures/homework to school Tuesday morning and cannot find a flash drive anywhere in the house and the nearest chain-store is 30 mins away and closes at 9, so I have to go to the small local "office supply" store 5 mins down the road and pay $24.99 for a 4gb memory stick.... Yes, this is a true story.... and Yes, that one still hurts....
@wildmomo I hear you- I had to take a flash drive of photos to CVS because they needed them printed (the night before, of course). I had to stand in line behind a crazy lady formatting 50 pictures of her cat. Thanks for making assignments "fun", school.
@sammydog01 CVS has free same day pickup. upload through their website, walk into CVS & walk out with the picks. No crazy lady waiting required. Last "fun" school project they were ready for pickup in 45 minutes.
Maybe, we all have all the really necessary things we need. So it gets to the point where we buy ridiculous stuff because it makes us feel good , buying stuff, or at least looking for stuff to buy. Or maybe it's just me. Anyways, I'm saying no to the tweety bird stuff . I have to draw the line somewhere.
What are you guys talking about?! THIS is exactly what I hoped would be able to be! I don't care about the products they sell that I can buy anywhere. If I wanted a Roomba or a speaker dock I'd have had one way before Meh sold them. BUT if I wouldn't even have known if I'd wanted this until this morning! That's what I want from Meh, that's what I love about the way the site is set up. BTW I didn't buy this, I don't want to buy it either, but I didn't know I wanted a Leak Frog until Woot sold them, now I have 8.
@lisaviolet and you wouldn't have any if Meh hadn't told you they existed and offered them at a cheap price :-) Good or bad that's what I really like about Meh
I'm longing to see a Sansa Clip again. They had useful functionality. Used to be, you could see them up in rotation with the Dysons and the Roombas. Yeah, I know, that was woot, but you've got the Dysons and the Roombas going, so why not Sansa?
I've already got a Sponge Bob USB stick (that was woot again), but it has limited usefulness because A) the body shape means I can't plug it in everywhere and B) the two haves don't friction fit tightly enough, so when I wear it as a lanyard the cover half always falls off.
@getkind ok, i confess- i still have a few sansa's unopened for emergencies- they are damned near bulletproof, easy to use and almost disposable... and yes- i'd buy more if i could.
I couldn't help myself. For pete's sake, it's a CAT MP3 player. How cool is that? Stick it to the dashboard in the car and listen to my tunes. (My car has Tigger and other cat stuff in it, my license plate references cats....)
@lisaviolet I would have bought some if they went with our Godzilla theme. Any monster from Toho would be acceptable. We have little Godzillas on our dashboard.
Great, it's been about 40-ish days since I saw anything I wanted and was seriously thinking about cancelling my VMP.....until these showed up. I blame @carl669 for this development. adventurous-tidy-lettuce
@derpandabar Hopefully you mean a great day to cancel it since it never "expires". Mine renews tomorrow so time to kill it today. . . or do I kill it a few minutes after midnight so I can see the next offering? Seems like someone said you can kill it just after midnight after your last day. (In other words, early in the morning of your renewal date.)
@tightwad no stress for two reasons: 1) the auto-renew happens later in the day so you can use it just after midnite early in the morning of your renewal date. 2) even if it auto-renews, you can cancel it anytime that month for a full refund automatically anytime in the month as long as you do not use it.

What the meh?
No. Absolutely not.
If there was a Bugs Bunny version I'd be all over this.
@boc REmember, it's on meh because these are the characters noone wanted :)
@Chmarr wow, they have feelings too!
I love that this is such an odd, cheap, random item. I hate the fact that I have absolutely no desire to own it.
@lichme I think a lot may be I agreement there. It's cute. But meh. Now if it were something I'm more into. I may be all over it. But looney toons. Not so much.
@lichme I didn't want it for myself, but I think it'll be good for presents for kids and/or the odd white elephant exchange.
hahah this is great. I am still not buying one.
If you only had Foghorn Leghorn..
rosy-demonic-engineer
@MarAprMeh
grueling-arbitrary-scrooge
Meh..... That's all folks!
Maybe if it was Snoopy then we could do some business.
Shit. I just bought six Sylvesters. My husband is going to kill me. But, I've got kids' birthday presents taken care of for a while, so that's good, right? Kids will like this, won't they? If not, I'm screwed.
I think kids will like them, but what do you have against Tweety Bird? I bought one of each for my niece and nephew and my plan is to pre-load them with music before I give them as gifts.
@christinerenee I always thought Tweety was ridiculously annoying when I was a kid. Plus, I thought Sylvester would be better for the age ranges I'm gifting to.
No Marvin, meh.
I now have seen it all.
@msimard8 Please don't challenge them to come up with something worse.
@Kerig3 1,000 bouncing rubber balls for only $8?
@Kerig3 This is meh. They will find something worse.
@msimard8 Trust me, it can get a LOT worse.
@jjohns71 Oh man, if meh offered 1000 of anything for $8, I'd buy it.
@Chmarr 1000 paper bags!
@Chmarr Going to have to see if we can get a deal on these: http://www.amazon.com/Live-Ladybugs-Approximately-Nature-NectarTM/dp/B0057AZ5U8
So meh, must resist.
I LOVE Warner Bros. cartoons. Completely disappointed by today's offering. Truly the definition of "Meh". :-(
pathetic-energetic-river
Didn't need it, bought it more as a flash drive than an MP3 player.
@remo28 Same excuse here. I'm thinking a cat would be less likely to be lost than a regular flash drive.
Wow. This might be worse than speaker docks.
@jjohns71 I want more speaker docks. I still need about 5. I'm actually using the speaker dock as speakers for my work computer and an outlet to charge my phone :)
@jjohns71 Tweety-bird speaker dock. That would fit into my suicide story.
Anyone actually ever use these? Couple of the reviews on A say the volume is really low an there is no way to turn it up.
@jmhsrv Haven't used but quoting user guide: During music play, press + to increase the volume level. Press - to decrease the volume level. Note: On this MP3 player, the maximum sound level is limited at 80dBA. You are strongly advised to set the volume level to medium. The medium level is usually less than 2/3 of the maximum
@Alien Yeah I read that too - I think the reviewers meant "no way to turn it up higher" or "no way to turn it up enough"
@jmhsrv Kids might deafen themselves. Some kids audio kit have adjustable max volume.
I'd be all over these if they were USB 3.0. I think.
@RedOak serious? or trolling?
@shawn semi-serious since I could care less about the MP3 player functionality. The ear buds would be put into kid service. And anyone having used a USB 3.0 device to move a large or many files detests going back to 2.0.
@shawn also see @wildmomo's dialog below.
you guys been cramming for your drug test again, huh?
Holy meh
Sufferin' succotash, I'm a cheered up sucker.
Now that's Meh! The perfect definition of what meh is about. Kitsch of the highest (fill in the blank.)
What have I done? egregious-militant-warlord
@shortman The 8gb sticks that won't grow legs and walk away. I like it.
@shortman
Almost a speaker duck.
@KDemo
No Tazmanian Devil.
For that alone, meh.
.....okay?
What? No Pepe Le Pew?
Tempted to get them just for the earbuds; my wife is the Looney Tunes fan and I'm sure she'd get a kick out of them.
Or I'll take my chances with the next fuku...
I would've loved this as a kid (mostly because 8GB for $8 would've blown my freakin mind).
@awk I would've loved this as a kid (mostly because I wouldn't have had to carry around so many cassettes.)
@JonT might be time to fire up the bulk USB stick duplicator. Opportunity to actually distribute your melodic message via the next Fuku/Fuko. #halo2cloudrecorder.
@RedOak @jont ….something went terribly wrong is more like it...
@JonT please remember all the fun hours spent loading those #halo2cloudrecorder so I would receive an empty one anyway. (just sayin, p.s. I appreciate the effort)
A buh dee a buh dee a buh dee, that's meh folks!
Great job! I mean, there's no way I'm going to buy it, but seeing a $400 vacuum one day and this the next? Genius.
In for 1 cause I love me some Tweety Bird. dispensable-acrid-yogurt

If it was Cheech Wizard and his sidekick lizard, I'd be in for a few.
@Kyser_Soze ![1] [1]:
meh. My 7 y/o just rocks his Beats on his iPhone 6 while he patiently waits for his Apple Watch to be delivered.
@ascii256 you're in the wrong place.
Unfortunately it doesn't come with a Tweety Bird pocket knife or steak knives, so, no, sorry, I just can't.
Slippery-boastfulness-knight.
I'm always a sucker for Looney Tunes.
Me: [Clicks Meh]
Wife: What's that? Buy 5 of them.
Apparently you're still allowed to give them money after clicking Meh.
@dalekjoe yes... you should be clicking meh daily or who knows what will happen?!?!?!
I'd be all over this if it had free shipping but the price difference between here and Amazon isn't sufficient to make it an impulse purchase. Maybe I'll grab one off Amazon later this year as a stocking stuffer. So price equals big MEH!
@louiskst There's something wrong with your math.
@Aquaman What math? I didn't give any math in my comment. I'll put some down though. $8 for the player plus $5 for shipping is $13. You can get it for for than $4.60 more on Amazon. That isn't enough difference for an instabuy. Also there is no way I'm paying $5 to ship this item. That's 60% of the price of the item just for shipping. It's worth less than $3 for shipping at the most.
@louiskst Buy more than one.
@louiskst That's so we can do impulse buys for the next 30 days with free shipping as very meh people (or is it patrons?).
Can this be a 2 for 1 deal? Can I use the earbuds as earbuds plugged into a Kindle/iPod/device of your choice, and use Tweetie as a flash drive to transfer photos and such?

@wildmomo story rings familiar. That's what the old-tech drawer is for - the 512MB-1GB thumb drives fall to the bottom.
@sammydog01 CVS has free same day pickup. upload through their website, walk into CVS & walk out with the picks. No crazy lady waiting required. Last "fun" school project they were ready for pickup in 45 minutes.
@homehziah Nice! I'll do that next time.
Anyone that buys this is a sucker. I got an 8 GB USB drive, jlab headphones and a big ass broken TV for 5 bucks about three weeks ago.
@Potatoboy braggart
Maybe, we all have all the really necessary things we need. So it gets to the point where we buy ridiculous stuff because it makes us feel good , buying stuff, or at least looking for stuff to buy.

ALL SPANISH PEOPLE FROM SOUTH AMERICA PLEASE SELL OUT THE TWEETY IT IS YOUR CALLING
@sp3ar "Spanish people from South America" There are so many things wrong with that statement.
These would be sorta cute if it wasn't for Tweety being the worst thing about the entire Looney Tunes canon.
If it was Ren and Stimpy.....Oh Joy!
(yes, I know they're not from Looney Tunes)
@Fish_Kungfu Yes - I would get behind this too.
@Fish_Kungfu Pinky and The Brain!!!
What are you guys talking about?! THIS is exactly what I hoped would be able to be! I don't care about the products they sell that I can buy anywhere.

BTW I didn't buy this, I don't want to buy it either, but I didn't know I wanted a Leak Frog until Woot sold them, now I have 8.
@RedHot I'm in for three. Because one wasn't enough and four was too many.
@lisaviolet and you wouldn't have any if Meh hadn't told you they existed and offered them at a cheap price :-) Good or bad that's what I really like about Meh
@lisaviolet Five is right out.
Probably sound better than virtually ever product with a "Beats" logo on it...

Yes, but WHY?
I'm longing to see a Sansa Clip again. They had useful functionality. Used to be, you could see them up in rotation with the Dysons and the Roombas. Yeah, I know, that was woot, but you've got the Dysons and the Roombas going, so why not Sansa?

@getkind "...why not Sansa?" Cellphone. Also, who would wear a Sponge Bob USB stick?
@getkind ok, i confess- i still have a few sansa's unopened for emergencies- they are damned near bulletproof, easy to use and almost disposable... and yes- i'd buy more if i could.
I never have one when I need it:

I think this is Meh just trying to flip us the bird.
oh my god. im 30, have an iphone 6 but still want one of these, having a VMP makes this so tempting
@sarahtarah I dropped my VMP, so things like this are less tempting!
Great, it's been about 40-ish days since I saw anything I wanted and was seriously thinking about cancelling my VMP.....until these showed up. I blame @carl669 for this development.

@lumpthar you're welcome
This is the greatest mp3 player of all time!
@connorbush psh. Yeah, try of all time.

Ok, Tweety is a canary, not a robin, but close enough.
@Starblind

Unfortunately I don,t have any kids to buy this stuff for and I'm still using my wootoff sansa from 2007.
@cranky1950 all we have to do is convince meh that sansas are meh material...
I bought one of each for my kids.
unvarying-fierce-gum
No Yosemite Sam, no sale....
Tempted. But no.
This was a great day to let my VMP expire!
@derpandabar Hopefully you mean a great day to cancel it since it never "expires". Mine renews tomorrow so time to kill it today. . . or do I kill it a few minutes after midnight so I can see the next offering? Seems like someone said you can kill it just after midnight after your last day. (In other words, early in the morning of your renewal date.)
@RedOak Cancel the day before, why stress over a couple hours. If you like the offering the next day just re-up...same cost.
@tightwad no stress for two reasons:
1) the auto-renew happens later in the day so you can use it just after midnite early in the morning of your renewal date.
2) even if it auto-renews, you can cancel it anytime that month for a full refund automatically anytime in the month as long as you do not use it.
i am sorry but there is no display window
I pressed the Meh button on that day, but it did not record Meh on my calendar. This broke my Meh streak. Please fix it. Thanks!
These things are awesome! Sell them again and I'll pick up a couple more.
@sammydog01 This is all your fault! Literally!
@MechaJustin And @narfcake's fault, just a little bit.
@sammydog01 what the... we got a 2nd round of them because of this!!!
I'm pleasantly surprised at the packaging. Would have bought more than one if I'd known. Thank you.
Got my Tweety one a few days ago and it looks nicer than I expected.
These are almost as awesome as the Sansa Shakers that my kids lost. The integral speaker is the trick.
