May 20 IRK Reveal, is the price increase worth it?
11The FedEx driver dropped this oil-stained box and ran
Is this a sign of regret to come?
Well, I opened the box and found nothing leaking or stained, so someone else’s package must have caused the damage. Regret for them!
So on to the reveal
Common IRK filler items:
IRK bag, blue
iPhone 8+ screen saver, trash
Power bank, have the plenty, will give away
TrackR pixel, another for the collection
Bing-oh game
And:
2 sets of old school date planners, does anyone even use these anymore?
Members Only flannel pants, size s. Donate
Ladies size xs top, donate
Another Meh! IRK
Can’t say this one was worth the price increase!

As is typical, mine likely to ripen at the ‘Processing’ page while others are receiving theirs. It’s all good. I like to wake up at night and hope that it’s because @snapster is working hard to source some more Priority Pucks for me.
Living the dream. 
I forgot I ordered one. I guess I will wait a little longer before making a Goodwill run. I would hate to deprive them of eyefone accessories.

@yakkoTDI
When you know you’re awesome
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@yakkoTDI props just for the giphy
cant…
look,
away…
Strangely, I’m not hungry any more
Coffee? what coffee?
Yeah, you can take that bottle of scotch back to the store, I don’t want it anymore
Ah, who am I kidding…
@ybmuG @capnjb It finally shipped yesterday. I wonder if it will get here before my Amazon package.
/giphy it has shipped
@yakkoTDI @ybmuG Mine is also trying to egress Texas. Might be here by Sunday. I can’t WAIT for my wife to roll her eyes when it arrives
@capnjb @ybmuG Mine arrived today while I was at work today. I think I will wait to open it until later tonight.
@capnjb @ybmuG Well there were no eyephone accessories. There was a decent looking, large handbag branded Malibu Skye that is worth more than the Irk price and my mom has claimed it as her new travel bag.
Everything else but the Irk bag will go to Goodwill. Two of the items look like clothing but they did not look interesting enough to open the packages. Also got a pack of dryer eggs but I don’t want my clothes to be scented.
The Giant (Cuisinart?) IRK Processor of Certain Dismay still has mine, deep in the back of the warehouse where even the guard shoggoths fear to tread. At some point, it will belch forth a load containing mine.
@werehatrack I think mine is in the intestines of the IRK monster ready to be shitted out to the Fedex truck, flushed down the nearest industrial strength toilet straight to delivery to my house.
In each of my last three I have received a hundred dollar item. A paper shredder, a under desk pedal exerciser thing, and an ice cream maker. So it is still fun for me.
@ryancunderwood Yeah, I got an under desk exerciser last time too, haven’t figured out how to keep the right pedal on, but still pleased.
@mossygreen @ryancunderwood You were pedalling? Those were meant to be used? I thought they were just decoration for adding a certain modicum of cool to the living room, kinda like torn jeans for middle-aged people?
@phendrick @ryancunderwood It’s purely ornamental at this time because of my inability to keep the right pedal from falling off. But I was really looking forward to getting minimal physical activity AND enjoying all my favorite seated activities AT THE SAME TIME.
I suspect the question was rhetorical, but I still use a paper-based planner. Anything put in my phone is immediately forgotten about, and I just find them easier to use. I order mine from a company in Sweden that lets you personalize just about every part of the book, including which month it starts with. I have mine start in September because in my mind, the year runs September to August, even after an unmentionable number of years since I was last in school.
@lisagd I use a wall calendar and pen for appointments. This years has hedgehogs wearing clothes.
@lisagd
I still use a paper planner. After I had my stroke I needed something bc I’d forget my head if that wasn’t attached half the time. I need something I can physically look at, touch and write in. It’s like I have a spatial functioning problem when I try to use my phone as my planner. @lisagd what the name of the company you order your planner from?
I’m looking for a planner cover (it also have a little pen holder spot too). The planner cover doesn’t have the claw things in the middle. You just slide the front of your planner into one pocket, it also has a spot for business cards. I found it many, many years ago at Walmart, it’s mad by blueskying.com and had a 4x6 monthly/weekly planner in it.
I’ll take pics of my worn out crappy one to show everyone what I’m talking about. If you can help me find another I’d be forever grateful.
@Star2236 Not exactly the same, but similar?
tinyurl.com/3v5yuh32
No pen holder, reviewers say.
@Star2236 Another, this one has a pen holder:
tinyurl.com/2s3w2u34
Both bigger than what you’ve got, though.
@Kyeh
Thanks
Check Staples website for “planners”. All sizes, colors, accouterments…
Accoutrements!
@OldCatLady
Thanks
Mine came today!
Light blue bag
iPhone 6/7/8 screen protector
S’mores scented Poo-Pourri (this is a terrible idea for a smell for this otherwise excellent product)
L’Oréal Revitalift moisturizer
White/black trim asymmetrical sweater, S, might fit my girlfriend but maybe not
Teal sweater set, tank top and shorts, Laundry brand, M, will probably fit her but I bet she won’t keep it
And what looks to be a not-that-terrible Bluetooth speaker with a $20 Family Dollar price tag on it
The moisturizer alone is worth more than my $16 and I will use it, so I’m calling this IRK a narrow victory.
I never remember you have to turn the phone sideways to get the picture button.
Not impressed so far. Over 600 bought and not one appliance so far. Mine shipped (or should I say shitted). My regret is already palpable.
Got my irk a couple days ago but I fell on the deck that night so I’ve been icing bc it hurts. Anyways I got
So excited with my IRK, lol!
I received my IRK yesterday after a brief delay by FedEx (the box was mangled and heavy, so maybe they taped it up more before delivering…?)
I got a blue IRK bag
A trackR pixel
A screen saver for an iPhone 6
USB car charger adapter
And a Rock Solid vibration (rs 2200) machine that came from Morningsave and appears like it was returned. Everything is still sealed and appears new, so I’m hoping it works!
Most of you would probably not see this IRK as a win…but my knee has been bothering me, and I’m hoping this might help with circulation, lol! I would never have bought this for the $150-200 price tag, but I’ll happily try it for 16 bucks!
Thanks Meh!! And my cat thanks you for the big box that she immediately jumped in and claimed!
@k4evryng I think that’s a great Irk!
(If the machine works, that is.)
@Kyeh I was stupidly excited when I saw what it was, lol!! I tried it today and it works perfectly!
However…I can’t imagine using it in front of anyone ‘cause unless one is @20 years old, it’s definitely not a pretty sight! But it gave me a good laugh (a good vibrating laugh…which made me laugh out loud even harder!!
).
I have doubts about its fitness claims, but it will totally give me $16 worth of amusement!! Anything extra is a bonus!
@k4evryng Pretty cat.
@k4evryng Great IRK!
@20 @k4evryng @Kyeh My doctor had one of those machines ( a big professional model) in his physical therapy room which cost several thousand dollars. The claimed it would cure everything from balding to fallen arches. All it did was shake up my insides and want to make me pee.
Regret was delivered by FedEx today.

Thanks, Meh!
@djslack Great IRK! It’s almost like a curated fitness bundle, lol! The stuff kind of goes together…
I love the way you described the color of the bag! I could totally see a beach house painted this color! We just got a new metal roof on our shore place, and the roof is a similar color. Now I will think of my IRK bag every time I see it, lol!
@k4evryng it’s my favorite IRK bag color. Your roof is pretty, too!
I guess this is like a fitness bundle. I didn’t put all that together, but it certainly could get a connected lady through her morning workout with some tunes and coffee.
I’m a glutton for punishment. Mine is out for delivery today. Given that I’ve gotten over 30 IRKs and arguably one of the best IRKs anyone has every gotten, I still order them as long as the price is right. Even ordered the father’s day mystery box on Morning Save to send to my daughter. She has been bugging me that I haven’t sent her anything to sell on e-bay from my recent IRKs.
Guess she forgot that her new puppy (cost and related expenses) are now on my monthly payroll.
Got mine a few days ago…mostly the same as others
made the box worth it
The beautiful blue IRK bag (my 2nd or 3rd)
Bing-oh! table game - regift/donate
Poo-pourri “S’mores” - already regifted…yikes it’s strong
Casery I-phone screen protector - regifted
2-pack car chargers
Track-R pixel
2-pc Laundry by Shelli Segal…short set or PJs? Very soft but size M is too big so regift/donate
Rekonect magnetic notebook system with calendar refill pages…actually pretty cool but I will probably regift
Revers-A-Brella with purple paisley lining and solid purple top - it’s a keeper!
Thanks Meh! The regret was very minor this time around and definitely made up for the last 2
@llangley
@llangley the calendar looks neat and is different…I’ve never seen one of those before. And the umbrella is so pretty! Definitely a fun IRK!
@llangley
I need a new umbrella for my car and the compact design of it is perfect. The calendar looks cool too.
Not worth the price increase. Got a tan bag, Adiago hair dryer (meh Amazon reviews they seem to die quickly), ASOTV adjustable light, 3pack face masks, a Malibu Skye red crossbody faux leather wallet with phone wallet. Good value and variety of things just not for me.
Mine is finally on the way. And this can only be a good sign:
Crappiest crap yet! I got some sort of purse something and some other women’s bags, a misc. shirt of some sort and a cheap pop stand phone holder thing.
Probably worth what I paid for it but not much more. Nothing to get excited about and not worth a picture.
Blue meh bag
Airstream Wireless Bluetooth earphones
Bag buddy
Red ceramic bird wind chime
Women’s long sleeve sweater
@Felton10 What’s a bag buddy?
@Kyeh Its a piece of plastic with a hole in the middle and a band that you secure a plastic bag to it so you can pour or put things in the bag without the opening to the bag closing up.
@Felton10 Oh, huh - thanks.
Smokeless griddle, pajama pants, iPhone case cover and two face masks.
Winner!!
Thank you Meh! No regrets here!
@GzBiH So with a smokeless griddle when you burn the pancakes it won’t smoke. (grin).
@GzBiH @Kidsandliz I bet, with little to no effort, practically anything that plugs into the wall outlet can be made to smoke.
Not bad, really.
I posted on the other thread but my IRK just arrived:
-Tan IRK bag
-Anker “Fun Proof” Bluetooth speaker, open box and dried goo on it, no cords or instructions. Not sure yet if it’s operational.
-Ladies’ XL sports bra
-Gender ambiguous 32/30 jeans
-Queen size Copper-infused mattress cover
I’m just glad there were no Trackrs or whatever they’re called. I made the mistake of buying a bunch of those when Meh first starting selling them.
Cuisinart 12 cup coffee maker
brown meh bag
4 meat sticks
iphone case
3 pack face masks
the coffee maker makes it worth the regret. and who doesn’t like loose beef sticks??
@carl669
Tan IRK bag
Teeth whitening pen
CarAndDriver GPS thingy
Nicole Miller vegan fur puffer jacket
Perfect for a skinny, car driving smoker but I dont fit any of those cats! Will make some friends very happy so thank you meh!
/giphy thank you meh
@fjp999 Oh damn. As a skinny, black-coffee-drinking vegan woman with a long commute, your IRK would have been perfect for me.
I finally got my IRK. MEH did send me a $5 coupon for the delay.
I got
A tan tote bag
Red ceramic cardinal wind chime
Alpha wireless ear buds
A pair of active stretch pants and
2 pairs of super soft shorts.
Blue IRK bag
3 pack sports bras, daughter claimed
Med gray blouse
Anger charging cable
Set of 2 purple towels - real nice!
No regret here
@cbilyak oops…Anker, not anger
Been a while since I’ve bothered with an Irk, especially with all the mehrathon ripoff versions. So I guess I’m reasonably okie dokie with this one.
My regret was instant, as expected:
• Cuisinart citrus juicer
• Blue XL T-shirt with embroidered shoulders
• Maidenform Flexees briefs
• MKF Small shoulder bag
• Tan IRK bag
As expected, I did not get a Cuisinart air fryer. Probably just as well, because then I might have to cook.
First IRK received.
I got:
L pair of leisure pants
S/M sports bra
Set of 11 Pro Max screen protectors
Beige IRK bag
Jashen stick vacuum (looks like it retails for about 190 bucks)
@misfitsintoylnd
Very nice.
1X Blue IRK bag
16X Baja beef sticks, best by 05/04/2023. I love regular slim jims, so if these are any good I will be thrilled!
1X phone case for an iPhone 6,7,8 I could have used five years ago, lol.
1X Cuisinart double boiler marked at $10. If it is not junk I will use it!
1X 3XXL shorts that I might need if I eat all 16 beef sticks.
Worth $16?; probably. Thanks, Meh!
My IRK reveal…
-6 piece towel set
-2 piece collapsible colander set
-Anker charger
-Size medium gray shirt
-Santana noise canceling headphones
-Blue IRK bag…my favorite color of these.
Overall Meh…have had better, have had worse.
Oh…and one disgruntled Grayson (not included in IRK, but expressing a strong opinion about it anyway.)
@gogrrl Nothing in there for him!
@Kyeh yeah…and he’s letting me know about it in no uncertain terms.
@gogrrl Not happy with the box, huh?
@Kyeh The IRK bag had a big tear down the side, so I tossed it in the recycle bin. Grayson does love a good box, though.
@gogrrl Awww, now he looks happy! What a handsome fellow.
Are the Irk bags recyclable? I wouldn’t think they would be…
@Kyeh oops…I meant to say box. The bag was fine.
@gogrrl Oh, gotcha.
Maybe that’s why he was mad!
-nice travel case set
-fancy umbrella
-charging cable
-stupid bottle that holds a bottle
-blue bag
-shirt for Ray Milland and Rosy Grier?
@sammydog01 looks like meh is telling you to get out of dodge
@sammydog01 How did I manage to live 58 years without knowing that existed?
@sammydog01
A bottle that holds a bottle?
@Star2236
My IRK is supposed to be delivered today. it’s really going to feel like “Instant” considering the meh-rathon today
Can’t wait to post my regret!
Worst one I’ve gotten in awhile, not worth a pic.
Men’s M lounge pants
Women’s M athletic tank
3pack L sports bras
2 ugly solar powered angel yard lights that were loose in the box but at least had the manual tossed in with them
Blue IRK bag
None of the clothing fits me or family/friends that I can off load crap on to, so probably all goodwill.
I thought so.
@OldCatLady Wut? Invisible Irk?
one of the Worst I’ve gotten in a while as well
@Oldelvis
That notebook is pretty nifty.
Literally the worst I’ve ever gotten!
Not even a bag!
¯\(ツ)/¯
At least they didn’t exaggerate with Just a box of total garbage.
It took two days for FedEx to finally deliver the box to me. It had a lot of fun traveling the area each day on the truck though I am sure.
Cerulean bag
Member’s only shorts
Headphones (wireless, over the ear)
Pack of towels
MASH game (my 3rd grade teacher thought I was writing notes in class and read my MASH game in front of the classroom. Only problem was I had written the same boy name down 4 times to make sure I picked him
@mbersiam Santana headphones… wow.
Contents of my B-IRK:
16x Baja Beef Sticks, traditional flavor, expired 05/04/2023
1 dark blue Jumode t-shirt, size M (works for me)
1 three-pack KN95 protective face masks, inspected Sept 2020 expired Sept 2022
1 pair Therapeutic 3lb weighted slippers/booties, women’s size 5-8, made exclusively for Bed Bath & Beyond
1 blue Meh bag
Truly a wonderfully disappointing birthday gift. Thanks, Meh.
Finally! Sheets for a wedding present, connectors for cousins, colanders for me. Thanks, Meh!
@OldCatLady And you got one of the coveted cat tails, too!
I keep forgetting to take a picture, but this IRK might take the prize of most regrettable I’ve received to date:
MEH.
I forgot to post mine, got it last Saturday
Pink MKF handbag
Animal print PJs
Face mask
one of these that my husband thought he’d take before I got the photo
and an IRK bag.
Mostly donation but I might hold on to the pjs, they are long sleeved and my size?
Delivered a couple days ago when we were gone. Maybe it’s because we had too many desserts on vacation and someone at headquarters decided we needed to pay for our indiscretion, but we received:
Lifepro Flexcycle - damaged box and the control panel doesn’t clip in securely, but everything appears to work
Casery glass screen protector for a phone no one has
Trackr - the designer key fob to make me feel important
Silicone jell sleeves for the blisters I’m sure to get from the flexcycle
Strap thing for the towel I’ll need to wipe the sweat off my forehead after my workouts
Blue bag to carry all the donuts I’ll be able to justify eating now that I’m “exercising”
Thanks, Meh!
@ybmuG Is that a beaver?
@sammydog01 yes! It’s yekoP’s new chew toy. He really loves it.
I did not get a box from Meh. I didn’t get any IRK bags.
Instead I got a Cuisinart box with stockpot 3-pack.
Mine arrived almost two weeks ago, but I was out of town, so it didn’t get opened until last night. No photo, but a decent batch.
Bright blue IRK bag, yay!
Cuisinart wood cutting board with handle, nice.
Medium tie-dye yoga pants in blue, probably too small, will be capris on me if they fit, will go to my daughter if not.
Alpha earbuds, of a design that I would be able to mod to make functional for me IF they didn’t require fitting back into their dedicated case for charging. Dammit.
