March IRK Reveal
17Wow. It was Spring. There was a Mehrathon. Then we had Winter again. And today it’s back to Spring and I got my IRK. Either I suck at reading or I’m the first so here goes:
- Dynatrap universal mount. I actually have a dynatrap, so we’ll see if it needs to be mounted.
- Case of 8 micro USB cables. Actually handy, though 8 is a lot of them. But these things have a way of walking off.
- Holy shit! IRK Autographed Tummy Control Panties, size Medium.
- St. Patty’s Green and Purple IRK bag.
Thanks, Meh–err, SideDeal! Thanks to the entire back room at stores.com!

Give me the meh-exchange any day.
Now back to the meh world.
International Report Essentials T-shirt, size M. This one actually fits and will not be gifted.
Box of Demora Eye Masks 20 pair. Can never have too many of these for my baggy eyes. And no, I don’t want any more.
Universal Mount DynaTrap. Like @djslack, I too have a DynaTrap from Costco so this might be useful. $9.99 on Amazon.
360 Habitat 8’ Premium Charging Cable. Box of 8. Eight is Enough as the TV show says. But they were talking about kids. What @djslack didn’t say, these are micro USB. I still have some of these devices, but not eight.
Green IRK bag.
Now about that meh exchange box I got from @kykazaa…
Thank you meh.
@rcwbbb Mine was exactly the same, except I got another box of condoms instead of another box of eye masks. Meh.
@Pony OMG
. I gotta better box. But not by much. 
I’ll have to post a photo later.
2 boxes of the new Trackrs (aka condoms that expire in May)- asked someone if her 30 something son might want them. She asked incredulously, “When would he ever remotely need 24 of them for a month and a half???”. Maybe I will list them as a curb alert.
The St. Patrick Day green meh bag
King quilt, 2 pillow cases and a tiny pillow (I have a twin bed). I am sort of wondering if they will fluff back up they are packed into such a small bag
2 wired (minus the wires you need), stick into the ground along side a sidewalk lights. I need lights as it is darker than Hatties here but no way to use wired ones.
Meh being meh with this irk, I’ll give you half a thank you.
@Kidsandliz You could be civic-minded: take them to a high school and issue a challenge.
I think they lost me finally. I got 9 usb-a to micro cords, a bag, a shockingly size appropriate shirt and… a literal screw-in hook/hanger. This used to be about whimsy. I feel like someone’s garage got robbed
@brandon and to be clear I’m Day One with them. I get the risk. A literal metal hook with screws kinda just said something
@brandon USB-A to Micro USB? Ugh. 2013 called, it wants it’s cables back
@brandon I got basically the same thing, plus a Paw Patrol LED nightlight. Meh.
@brandon @danoinct
I’d be thrilled with the paw patrol nightlight instead of 8 boxes of condoms and 8 boxes of micro usb cables. My nephew and nieces love paw patrol, I’d be the cool aunt for sure.
@brandon @danoinct @Star2236 I’m sure you’re the cool aunt already!
2 multi-packs of microfiber kitchen towels, 2 boxes of condoms, 1 jar of bee face serum, and 1 queen size comforter and pillow set. Can’t stand touching microfiber, no need for condoms, wife might enjoy serum, but the comforter might fit in an old folks home maybe? I am whelmed.
@Karakes so I’m not the only one tjat cannot stand touching microfiber. I’d rather wrap myself in velcro. It’s about the same effect
I got pretty much the same as everyone else except larger quantities of some items.
144 total!) [Expires 05/2026] {There are 72 days 'til the
end of May so I’ll need to use 2 per day!!}
SideDeal, send me a case of Viagra PLEASE!!
Guess I got my $15 worth but not much I can use.
@MrGoodGuy
I got the exact same box as you, shirt and all. No winner or chicken dinner.
@MrGoodGuy @Star2236
What’s with the obvious oversupply of condoms?
Did China, India, and Mexico City all cancel their orders?
Was there hoarding during the Covid pandemic and people just found them in their closets and under their beds so quit buying?
Did college kids take chastity vows during the last few Spring Breaks plus entirely give up water baloon fights?
Or is it just that the latest new and improved models are due out on store shelves soon?
@MrGoodGuy @phendrick @Star2236
I could say that Cards Against Humanity has stopped buying them, but they get theirs from the lowest bidder (almost guaranteed to have leaks) just to stay in-brand.
@MrGoodGuy I also got this exact same irk, so thank you for posting since I am terrible at it.
I’m regretting that I ordered this but moreso that I will be in Ohio when it arrives. I know I’m getting guff from the Englishman already…
I received:
So nothing I can actually use except maybe the towels, but it’s a fair assortment of stuff. Just reinforces the “bad idea” part of this whole thing. No condoms, no eye masks, no cables, no pest control - and I probably could only have used the cables!
@sfwineguy
You got a great box compared to some of us.
Thanks Meh & Sidedeal!
3in1 wireless charger (bummer as I just got a similar one from Walmart where the return date has passed), Dashboard camera (was able to give the last one to a friend so maybe can find another friend for this one…), Hair straightener (see dashboard camera comment), 2x Pro fit condoms (?), Gold towel hanger (planning to see if I can turn it into a fancy toilet paper holder), Fancy blue Texas air (very flattened), Green w/ Black IRK bag.
@fjp999
That’s a really good box besides the condoms
@Star2236 Thanks. I agree comparative to many of the others it isn’t bad.
@fjp999
I think the bag is green with purple writing.
I forgot to mention that not only did I receive my pitiful IRK (posted above) today, I also rec’d ALL 3 of the items I purchased in the mehrathon to secure the IRK for $15!! What are the odds they’d all arrive the same day??
YAS! I recently purchased a king bed from Costco and my IRK included a King bedspread/2 shams from Emryn House! I also received black caviar eye lifting pudding, 4-LED light bulbs and the green/purple(great colors) IRK bag!
Thanks Meh
I knew I shouldn’t have but I bought regret. I won’t be trying on the Thermajanes in the current 95+°F weather. Doubt I’d fit into the xs shirt anyway.
@mehla The Thermajanes are super nice though, so I hope you find someone who can use them. (Eventually!)
@Kyeh I think the leggings will fit. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it’s not a matching set.
@mehla That’s a shame. If you have any tiny friends or a women’s shelter nearby, they’d probably appreciate them. I bought several sets myself.
@mehla
The wallet is kinda cute.
I’m almost embarrassed. A pretty good IRK.
RediVac EAZE. It was delivered in its original box but the top had been opened and some things stuffed in the top.
A necklace and earring set. I’m almost sure they’re diamonds.
A kid’s game.
A miniature whip from Lord of the Rings.
Eye serum.
Er, thanks SideDeal.
@pooflady I hope the vac works.
@mehla Me, too. I’ll find out in a few days, once it’s been put together and charged. I’ll post here.
Yikes, BEFORE reading this thread I WAS kinda excited about getting mine, but now, IDK…
It’s on its way, only 45 minutes away…
I’ll be manifesting some good stuff…
Thanks, Meh & SideDeal!
@tahshar You got a unicorn Irk - those face mask things are super expensive!
@Kyeh LOL - it’s broken! The charging port is broken off in the mask. Looks like someone tried to remove all the screws, but still couldn’t get the mask to separate. It’s charged though, and all the lights work! So, I’ll see if my husband can repair it. The curling iron works though!
@tahshar Oh, I hope he can fix it. Congrats on the curling iron!
I got:
Jacket
Thermal underwear
Smart bulbs
Travel hangers
5 rolls of alien tape
Condoms (I was feeling left out)
Green bag
The alien tape is nice, thanks!
@sammydog01 Better Google that. I got it a few IRKs ago and there’s problems with it.
@pooflady Will do.
Well, I can’t complain too much. I did get 2 more boxes of the ubiquitous condoms (the new Trakrs!) But I also got a 6-outlet wall tap (opened/returned so not sure it works,) a beat-up box with 5 rolls of Alien Tape
(I guess they tried 1 roll & returned the rest,) and a set of Luminara flameless candles, very nice if they work. 
Also a purple & green Irk bag & lots of blue Texas air. Not bad!
BTW, very clever marketing on those condoms. Because everyone’s saying “3X condoms” but it’s actually “3X tested.” Size is large, but I guess this way they figure guys can swagger around with a box marked 3X and impress people.
Quite regretful. In fact, one of the most regretful in a while.
I’ll keep this
I don’t need or want these, so if you do, whisper me with your address and I’ll send any of them to you, except maybe the slippers because I might have someone who will take them.
No photo.
Probably my most regret able in a LONG time, but still grateful I get to play the game. Thanks Meh!!!
@cbilyak Hmm take the condoms to a high school and discreetly drop them off.
The condoms expire 5/26 though. At least if they are like the ones I got. I gave them to a friend’s 12th grade son (2 packs so 24 of them for those who haven’t gotten them) and his mother overheard (actually I had asked permission from her first to give them to him) the exchange between us and she asked him he if planned to have sex 24 times between now and May.
Fortunately he is a kid who doesn’t get embarrassed easily and told her he planned to turn them into a air (balloon like) bouquet and give them to the assistant principal at the high school; he figured she might like them. His mom thought he was serious until he started laughing. The entire thing was a hoot.
What he really is doing with them is keeping a few and then giving them some of his friends (of both sexes) putting them in zip lock bags.
@Kidsandliz LOL, my teenage son took some and handed them out at a party. I am sure he will make sure they go to appreciative teens.
@cbilyak And hopefully if the other kids’ parents find out they won’t be in shock that their kid had any need for condoms (of course the up side is that they are, at least, being responsible to even use them). Or find out who gave them to their kid and call and yell at you.
Stick vacuum; I’ve been looking for a new vacuum and have been less than inclined to pay >$200 for one.
Thermajane long underwear, size XS; to the women’s shelter.
Box of condoms (does anyone need any more?).
Magnetic eyelash set; will save for after cataract surgery.
Green/purple IRK bag.
Well sadly there will be no reveal. It says it was delivered but apparently none of my family know anything about it. My guess is that it came while I was away and thy opened it and got rid of the box. But I will never really know what came. Such is life I suppose.
@sillyheathen Maybe it’s just the delivery notice jumping the gun, which happens to me sometimes up to 48 hrs before the actual delivery. Was there a Proof of Delivery picture of a place you recognized?
Doubtful. It says it was delivered a week ago Sunday. It’s more likely that it was delivered they annihilated the contents and recycled the box.
@sillyheathen Maybe, using what the rest of us got, ask them if any of that stuff showed up - especially the meh bag as it looks like we all got the same one.
@Kidsandliz I’m not that bothered tbh. I’ve been fighting a migraine all day so it’s pretty low on the T’Ghee totem. It was either a box of rubbish, or something super awesome that they’re trying to hide from me for my birthday. Im pretty sure we know which is more likely.
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@sillyheathen Sorry to hear about your migraine. Whisper me your address and I can send you an irk, no condoms though as I gave them away. Might still have a few trackrs around for you though.
@sillyheathen Hey, did you ever find out what you got?
@Kyeh nope but I did get a BOC instead because it was on my birthday. And it was amazeballs! I also got some other cool things for my birthday from friends which more than made up fo it.
@Kyeh
C flipped out over the BOC. I was super excited for the Milwaukee stubby batteries. There was the weird box in plastic. Turned out to be a brand new Dyson Air Wrap. She tried to steal it but I said nope. She can use it but only with permission.
@Kyeh @sillyheathen Yeah, Woot’s BOC’s are 1,000 times better than the worthless IRK’s meh sends out!
@Kyeh @MrGoodGuy @sillyheathen All of my 25+ BOCs have been worthless. Everything ended up in the trash or donated. I used to get decent items from time to time in my Fukos/Irks, but then my luck ran out. Now those are worthless too and I won’t waste my money on them.
@heartny @Kyeh @MrGoodGuy I’ve had good and bad on both sides tbh. I just haven’t been super impressed with the pattern of the recent irks. There’s been a definitive shift in what they are vs what they used to be. There are still random unicorns but it feels more like when you get crappy BOCs. But then again IRKs literally used to be BOCs so I guess it’s not that unusual. The more corporate a company gets, the more they all look the same. It’s like the borg for business.
@heartny @MrGoodGuy @sillyheathen
A Dyson! That’s pretty great! What’s the other black thing packed in plastic? And whatever DID happen with the Irk that arrived while you were gone?
I’m glad you feel like your birthday was properly celebrated!
@heartny @Kyeh @MrGoodGuy there were two pair of trousers. And miraculously one fits the Englishman and the other fits tallest. They were a 30x34. He still needs a belt because his waist is actually more like 25/26 but he’s stoked because he can use them for wind ensemble.
@heartny @MrGoodGuy @sillyheathen Fantastic! How amazing that they fit!
Pretty meh.
