@axleman1011 I was thinking the same thing. But my wife convinced me that we'd just be wasting $8 on shit we don't need. And she was right. We bought the apron.
Well I wanted the apron. Then I decided that it was probably just worth it to get a knife, roaster, and thermometer for $8. And it only took 32 minutes to place my order.
@studerc I got the knife from the as seen on tv bundle and it is hilariously aweful. I do plan to give it to a friend who is into collecting knives and blades as a gag gift so still a win.
@editorkid: Membership does have its privileges. I don't usually wear aprons but stain-release technology and pockets... Oh la la! I am rethinking my attitude toward protective gear.
@lisaviolet Yeah I know -- I'm looking at the perks. I often go weeks between purchases here, so it isn't a given that I'll buy two things within a VMP month. As snapster said to another outlier, I may be more of an MP than a VMP.
@editorkid You gave a millionaire $10 to launch a website where he could sell you more stuff. The parent company is called Mediocre, and the website is called meh.
@DaveInSoCal Well, I gave a millionaire $10 to send me a box of junk. I think the site launch was a given Kickstarter or no, but every culture has its creation myth and far be it from me to disrupt this one if others need to believe in it!
@lisaviolet Well, for me anyway, it's not so much about the point of membership but about the perks that are there to entice us during the long days and weeks between purchases for some of us. In my curmudgeonly way, I'm hoping there's something better than VMP-only sales of Meh-logo gear down the road. I still haven't opened the rolled-up package with the Day Zero shirts yet.
@editorkid If a couple of months go by where I don't buy anything, then I'll probably cancel it. But I love getting stuff in the mail besides political flyers, junk mail and bills. Besides the fact that we really don't have much room (been in the house almost thirty years, I've accumulated a lot). Like I said, the extra stuff for VMP members, for me, anyway, is just icing on the cake. I'd have the VMP without it.
Protip: If you want crispy turkey skin, DO NOT put the lid on the roaster for the last couple hours of cooking. You don't want that skin to be basted in juice - you want it to dry out and crisp up.
@grammarsheriff Cook the bird upside down for 3/4 of its cooking time and then flip it over for the last 1/4 of its cooking time. By cooking it upside down, the juices will run down and keep the breast moist while allowing the dark meat more exposure for even cooking. (And brine that bird. You won't ever not brine again.)
@emci13 With as slow as Meh is at mailing stuff and the service they use at shipping I'd say it is a crap shoot rigged against you to get it by Thanksgiving… too bad they didn't leave more lead time with this for that reason.
@Kidsandliz yep... the smartpost is so annoying. it takes at least two days longer for me to receive the packages than it would if they simply had the postman pick it up.
@narfcake I haven't learned my lesson yet. I only have about 20 woot shirts I would still wear, yet I keep them all. I'm going to make a quilt. Yep. I don't sew, but I'm going to someday make a quilt. Yep. I mean it. I just ordered the apron. 20 years from now, I'll add it to the quilt.
@smilingjack I estimate I have around 80 in "often worn" rotation, and another 300 that are "sometimes". It's still pretty disproportionate to my overall collection, though.
@thumperchick It's mostly just shirts. Even then, I pass them up. When Woot had the month with an AA option, I only bought one shirt.
I was going to just buy the apron, but for $8 more, why not get the whole set. But I planned on going to bed 45+ minutes ago, it took forever to get my order in, which makes me very unhappy. spicy-smokey-talk
Damn, half an hour to load the page! I bought the roasting pan and thermometer last time, so today I only bought the apron (by happy coincidence, I had just been looking for one). Now I'm wondering if I should have just bought one of the sets and given away the other crap - pretty decent secret Santa stuff for only 8 additional bux.
@khunjeff It's horrible isn't it? It wasn't even a FUKU being offered and still the site was slow. I previously bought the roaster and thermometer but couldn't remember how much I paid. 45 minutes later, I was still unsuccessful in seeing my previous orders so I went to sleep -- in my bed of straw.
Don't need a roaster, bought the recommended model on Cook's Country last T-day, but the apron will talk, so over to buy separately. Though if I were to stalk the turkey instead of defrosting it, the knife might come in handy for the actual demise, I guess.
This is slightly more interesting than usual Meh. I'm kinda torn, because I want the apron, but for $8 more I can have lots of other crap with it. I need to see if this roaster will fit in my toaster I think.
@Hypnos I know Texans are gun and knife obsessed but I honestly thought they would be generally smart enough to know that the knife is practically a toy and completely useless for anything other than opening letters.
You shall not fool me like you did with those pancake flippers in the past. Though shall not bow to your junk collection and shall pass thee along to the next poor sap who shall feel buyers remorse thereafter! I am out this round. Fat Meh
In October the roaster and turkey therm. was sold for 12 bucks so by that total you will be paying 6 bucks for the knife, chicken and apron.. Whooohooo!
@narfcake with a server crash here and a server crash there…. here a crash, there a crash, everywhere a bad ass crash… 'Ol Meh @Snapster had a farm... M-E-H-I-O
How come this hasn't sold out already? I mean, damn, I'm related to Mr. Meh himself and I just bought the whole package. And then my wife woke up and said "meh, you fool, we don't need another roaster pan or a compass either." I will wear the apron to spite her.
27 mins to load.......not good. But you have me trained.. As for the turkey stuff.....Meh. Please go deeper into the warehouse and get the 'good stuff' out. I have my credit card in hand ...
I would be more interested in the apron if it actually said, "Kiss the cook, or don't, in the end we all die alone" instead of "Meh". Or it could say both, really, so long as that first bit was prominently displayed.
I don't need any of these things. But I want them all. I'm not even sure a roaster will fit in my tiny-ass oven. This needs to hurry up and sell out before I lose my willpower
Well, the decision was made for me before it sold out. My CC information was stolen and the card has been deactivated. @cengland0, thanks for saving me some money today, but surely you could have come up with a better way?? Meh, I don't have another card so please don't sell anything good for the next 7-10 business days. Thanks!
Wow. Gotta have that knife! You notice the guy in the video is named "Buck?" It's a "Buck" knife. And it comes with a buncha really cool stuff, including three matches, a bandaid and a safety pin. I'm good for 6 months in the woods with those items alone. I probably should order more. Christmas, you know.
I so need the pan, apron, knife, thermometer oh yeah and food to cook in the pan!.....Looking for fresh ideas to make veggies taste great for the whole family? Look for inspiration tagged #LoveYourVeggies and share on your social channels. For every #LoveYourVeggies post on Twitter and Instagram, Hidden Valley will donate $1, up to $50,000, to the YMCA of the USA, which will support the organization’s nutrition education programming.
@joelmw Oh! So in a bread bowl on top of the refrigerator isn't such a great hiding place. Actually, I hide my sugar free chocolate from my husband by keeping it in our clay roaster. I don't hide it because I'm selfish. I hide it in self defense! That sugar free stuff gives him industrial grade "green gas." Ugh! It peels paint off the walls!
@LaVikinga bad people who take about half your stuff but for some realson leave your tools. think something chased em off my computer was half dissconnected
@phatmass That's super helpful! And totally appropriate!Now I have to work a 12 hour shift tomorrow, then somehow FIND another roasting pan before I can cook.
We live in Florida, and ours arrived yesterday. Must say, we are surprisingly pleased with the quality of the roasting pan.....not that very much MEH at all!
Mine arrived Tuesday, nice pan. Though I am not cooking for Thanksgiving, I have one now in case I need it in the future. I received the turkey thermometer, I got one a long time ago in a BOC, not sure it has ever been used but I will take the one I received this week to my Mom's and try it out on her turkey. I will use the apron when making Xmas cookies, not sure what I'm going to do with the knife yet.
@tinkertime you could always use it to cut stuff. Alternatively you can hold it in your teeth while swinging between pirate ships, or shave with it out in the jungle.
@JonT thanks Jon, all great ideas, particularly the one shaving in the jungle, I will be sure to pack it on my next safari! Because cutting stuff with it would just be meh.

@mediocrebot you need to add a WTF button
@mediocrebot what if you're making turducken?
@mediocrebot Thank you for the birthday meh. And I'm also pleased I managed to score the Fuku! Nice presents for this VMP member.
I almost want it just for the apron, but meh.
@axleman1011 You can buy the apron alone, just click on the link in the price check or in the write up. $10
@tinkertime as long as you are a VMP
@tinkertime well damn, for 8 bucks more i might as well get the knife/roaster/thermometer
@axleman1011 thats what I said
@axleman1011 Thanks! I've been sick for a few days. Missed the fubuckaro or however you spell it. Glad I could get the apron!
@axleman1011 I was thinking the same thing. But my wife convinced me that we'd just be wasting $8 on shit we don't need. And she was right. We bought the apron.
Seriously though. It's like 11:24. This is getting rough. I mean sweet fuckin apron, but come on.
Apron https://mediocre.com/deals/a-meh-apron but I want the damn chicken mask too.
Well I wanted the apron. Then I decided that it was probably just worth it to get a knife, roaster, and thermometer for $8. And it only took 32 minutes to place my order.
@studerc Exactly the same flawed argument I made. Perhaps crap gifts for the dolts in your life?
@studerc https://mediocre.com/deals/a-meh-apron
@studerc I got the knife from the as seen on tv bundle and it is hilariously aweful. I do plan to give it to a friend who is into collecting knives and blades as a gag gift so still a win.
@bakeyoural Sounds like an order number, same-flawed-argument
So VMP = $5 a month for the privilege of buying Meh-logo junk. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmno.
@editorkid: Membership does have its privileges. I don't usually wear aprons but stain-release technology and pockets... Oh la la! I am rethinking my attitude toward protective gear.
@editorkid I feel privileged to have the privilege of privileging myself to procure the apron. Privilege…
@editorkid VMP = $5 a month for no cost shipping. If I buy one item a month, I break even. If I buy more than one, I win! The rest is icing.
@lisaviolet Yeah I know -- I'm looking at the perks. I often go weeks between purchases here, so it isn't a given that I'll buy two things within a VMP month. As snapster said to another outlier, I may be more of an MP than a VMP.
@editorkid You gave a millionaire $10 to launch a website where he could sell you more stuff. The parent company is called Mediocre, and the website is called meh.
This is where you draw the line? :)
@DaveInSoCal Well, I gave a millionaire $10 to send me a box of junk. I think the site launch was a given Kickstarter or no, but every culture has its creation myth and far be it from me to disrupt this one if others need to believe in it!
@lisaviolet and if you buy nothing, ever, you save money.
@Kidsandliz No, I wouldn't. Because I'd still be out my $5.00 for VMP. This isn't about saving money, it's about what's the point of VMP membership.
@lisaviolet Well, for me anyway, it's not so much about the point of membership but about the perks that are there to entice us during the long days and weeks between purchases for some of us. In my curmudgeonly way, I'm hoping there's something better than VMP-only sales of Meh-logo gear down the road. I still haven't opened the rolled-up package with the Day Zero shirts yet.
@editorkid If a couple of months go by where I don't buy anything, then I'll probably cancel it. But I love getting stuff in the mail besides political flyers, junk mail and bills.

Protip: If you want crispy turkey skin, DO NOT put the lid on the roaster for the last couple hours of cooking. You don't want that skin to be basted in juice - you want it to dry out and crisp up.
Or you could use a blowtorch.
@grammarsheriff Blowtorch it is. Genius.
@bakeyoural @grammarsheriff Poof - bonfire in the oven it is… fire trucks on Thankskgiving. How festive.
@grammarsheriff Cook the bird upside down for 3/4 of its cooking time and then flip it over for the last 1/4 of its cooking time. By cooking it upside down, the juices will run down and keep the breast moist while allowing the dark meat more exposure for even cooking. (And brine that bird. You won't ever not brine again.)
@Kidsandliz i actually DID catch my oven on fire last year
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
@jrwofuga @barney loves purple.
@khunjeff I for one am convinced that @jrwofuga and @barney deserve each other, belong together, etc., especially if it makes them both miserable. ;-p
Traded in my roaster pan when my brother got a fryer. so much easier, don't have to cook at all.
@sassymango I'd like a deep fryer...for ten bucks.
In. My first meh purchase! If it gets here before T-day, turkey for everyone. If not, STFU you're getting chicken.
Oh and the apron's nice too.
@emci13 With as slow as Meh is at mailing stuff and the service they use at shipping I'd say it is a crap shoot rigged against you to get it by Thanksgiving… too bad they didn't leave more lead time with this for that reason.
@Kidsandliz yep... the smartpost is so annoying. it takes at least two days longer for me to receive the packages than it would if they simply had the postman pick it up.
@Kidsandliz I got it today! We can have turkey tomorrow! ;p
@emci13 That was cutting it close!
Good deal, if you need a roaster. I don't. I do want the apron, though, so I picked it up for $10 as a Mediocre VMP special.
@Thumperchick Me, too. I already have a roaster I don't use.
@Thumperchick Kinda thought about the apron, then decided I have enough from shirt.woot that I didn't need another one.
@narfcake I haven't learned my lesson yet. I only have about 20 woot shirts I would still wear, yet I keep them all. I'm going to make a quilt. Yep. I don't sew, but I'm going to someday make a quilt. Yep. I mean it. I just ordered the apron. 20 years from now, I'll add it to the quilt.
@narfcake I had no idea that "need" ever factored into your decision making, when it came to shirts or shirt products.
@narfcake You can always sell it to some random guy in line at Costco
@smilingjack I estimate I have around 80 in "often worn" rotation, and another 300 that are "sometimes". It's still pretty disproportionate to my overall collection, though.
@thumperchick It's mostly just shirts. Even then, I pass them up. When Woot had the month with an AA option, I only bought one shirt.

Now I'm wondering if I should have just bought one of the sets and given away the other crap - pretty decent secret Santa stuff for only 8 additional bux.
Did anyone notice the NSA proof compass? (Watch the video on the knife) Im glad I'm safe from being spied on now.
The thing I want most in this bundle is the knife... Meh...
Seriously, @cengland0, are you some sort of masochist? All these site problems have to be costing you . . .
@KDemo he pretends to be contrite, but he's actually cackling goatishly each time one of us complains.
@khunjeff It's horrible isn't it? It wasn't even a FUKU being offered and still the site was slow. I previously bought the roaster and thermometer but couldn't remember how much I paid. 45 minutes later, I was still unsuccessful in seeing my previous orders so I went to sleep -- in my bed of straw.
Don't need a roaster, bought the recommended model on Cook's Country last T-day, but the apron will talk, so over to buy separately. Though if I were to stalk the turkey instead of defrosting it, the knife might come in handy for the actual demise, I guess.
@Lifesart The knife has a bottle opener if you want a Turkey & Coke instead of a Yellow-Belly.
I wish I needed a roaster. Someone tell me why I might need a roaster. Please and thank you.
@mossygreen you might want to roast something, or you may need to appear at a celebrity roast. you're welcome!
@mossygreen Maybe it's really a toaster and the site crash caused a typo. You need a toaster, right mossy?
@mossygreen You can keep your stash in it. No one looks in the roaster.
What with all these aprons and roasters, I wonder if there are too many cooks?
@grammarsheriff Already a forum topic on that video. https://meh.com/forum/topics/in-case-you-missed-it-somehow----too-many-cooks
This is slightly more interesting than usual Meh. I'm kinda torn, because I want the apron, but for $8 more I can have lots of other crap with it. I need to see if this roaster will fit in my toaster I think.
@Tiamat114 Roaster in a toaster? Probably not. Toaster in the roaster? More plausible.
No pagination. For that al... SLAP "Boy, you better buy that crap, we don't have a roaster for Thanksgiving"... Yes honey.
Does the knife come with all the rest of that crap in the third image?
good thing knife comes with a bandaid
@username Knife is for cutting.
@SSteve that is what you need the bandaid for - duh...
Of course the knife/roaster combo would have the highest sales in Texas.
@Hypnos I know Texans are gun and knife obsessed but I honestly thought they would be generally smart enough to know that the knife is practically a toy and completely useless for anything other than opening letters.
@Saffer49 Now I'm even more pleased with my purchase - I needed a letter opener.
this is stupid
@peas Is not.
You shall not fool me like you did with those pancake flippers in the past. Though shall not bow to your junk collection and shall pass thee along to the next poor sap who shall feel buyers remorse thereafter! I am out this round. Fat Meh
In October the roaster and turkey therm. was sold for 12 bucks so by that total you will be paying 6 bucks for the knife, chicken and apron.. Whooohooo!
@unkabob No chicken (thermometer). The thermometer is random.
@narfcake ... Okay. 50/50 is better odds than Vegas so, maybe chicken.
:(
meh apron ^^.
Meh farm?
'Ol MehSnapster had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on that farm, he had some pig ... shaped speaker docks
E-I-E-I-O
@narfcake with a server crash here and a server crash there…. here a crash, there a crash, everywhere a bad ass crash… 'Ol Meh @Snapster had a farm... M-E-H-I-O
If you have a family or plan on cooking a turkey I guess this is an alright deal, not really interesting for the younger crowd. meh.
While I was waiting 30 minutes for this deal to load last night I found this: NEVER BEFORE SEEN photo of the meh server.
@zacatac I think that is the upgraded version. I don't think they have that one yet...
@zacatac
@zacatac
@cengland0 I'll be honest, had my doubts about you, but you're working out well. I blame you for my erroneous first impression.
@joelmw Yes, plenty of things going wrong this month.
How come this hasn't sold out already? I mean, damn, I'm related to Mr. Meh himself and I just bought the whole package. And then my wife woke up and said "meh, you fool, we don't need another roaster pan or a compass either." I will wear the apron to spite her.
@YoDad The apron... and nothing else
27 mins to load.......not good. But you have me trained..
As for the turkey stuff.....Meh.
Please go deeper into the warehouse and get the 'good stuff' out. I have my credit card in hand ...
I would be more interested in the apron if it actually said, "Kiss the cook, or don't, in the end we all die alone" instead of "Meh". Or it could say both, really, so long as that first bit was prominently displayed.

if the knife was like $1 alone, i'd buy it

Do you use the knife to actually kill the turkey?
@somf69 DAMN STRAIGHT.
Also glad i got this cause i was looking through stuff and my roasting pan was one of the things stolen when i got robbed.
@jro2020 Who steals a roasting pan??? Taking the really nice knives, or the liquor---THAT makes sense. A roasting pan???
@LaVikinga Maybe they thought it was a hiding place for something interesting. See @editorkid's comment. http://goo.gl/S6JKG0
@joelmw Oh! So in a bread bowl on top of the refrigerator isn't such a great hiding place. Actually, I hide my sugar free chocolate from my husband by keeping it in our clay roaster. I don't hide it because I'm selfish. I hide it in self defense! That sugar free stuff gives him industrial grade "green gas." Ugh! It peels paint off the walls!
@LaVikinga bad people who take about half your stuff but for some realson leave your tools. think something chased em off my computer was half dissconnected
I think this video is a celebration of today's meh offering.go!
Meh. Already have the thermometer and knife. Don't need the roaster. Buying the apron at mediocre.com. :-)
The apron should say meh.com not meh.
Congratulations on the sellout Meh. I'm proud of you.
gaaaaaaaaaaaaahk... will it get here on time?
aaaaaaaaaaaaannd nope. It will not get here on time.
So the post office decided not to even ATTEMPT to deliver this today, now I don't get the kit for Thanksgiving, til AFTER. SmartPost SUCKS.
@otokoyo Look at the bright side. You will not have to pre-cook anything before Thanksgiving. Now you can post-cook it.
@phatmass That's super helpful! And totally appropriate!Now I have to work a 12 hour shift tomorrow, then somehow FIND another roasting pan before I can cook.
@otokoyo A lot of grocery stores have disposable ones that will work in a pinch, I think
@Kleineleh I'd second the recommendation of the foil disposables. My family deliberately uses them instead of a proper roasting pan for less cleanup.
We live in Florida, and ours arrived yesterday. Must say, we are surprisingly pleased with the quality of the roasting pan.....not that very much MEH at all!
Mine arrived Tuesday, nice pan. Though I am not cooking for Thanksgiving, I have one now in case I need it in the future. I received the turkey thermometer, I got one a long time ago in a BOC, not sure it has ever been used but I will take the one I received this week to my Mom's and try it out on her turkey. I will use the apron when making Xmas cookies, not sure what I'm going to do with the knife yet.
@tinkertime you could always use it to cut stuff. Alternatively you can hold it in your teeth while swinging between pirate ships, or shave with it out in the jungle.
@JonT thanks Jon, all great ideas, particularly the one shaving in the jungle, I will be sure to pack it on my next safari! Because cutting stuff with it would just be meh.
Very nice apron. My spouse, who does approximately 0% of the cooking, immediately appropriated it. It does look sharp.
