Meh Tote Bags
19I have Meh bags.
Like, a lot of them. They range from the Fukubukuro bags to the Fukobukuro bags to the Instant Regret Kit bags.
I have maybe 60 bags, and am trying to clear up.
I could probably sell some on eBay, but I figured that maybe people here collect them. Would anybody here be interested in some of them for the cost of shipping?
(Or is that not allowed, and I should just go to eBay?)

It’s been done before, so I’m sure it’s allowed - and I bet you’ll get lots of takers. (I have quite a few myself so I won’t bite, but this is nice of you!)
@Kyeh
Trying to get rid of them, or actually getting rid of them?
@FreePasta I can’t remember who, but a year ago or so someone gave away a bunch and had some of the vintage red Fuku bags, so I got one of those!
/showme free the pasta!

Or you can openly deride me for being picky, and do exactly the opposite.

@haydesigner
If people pay for shipping, I don’t care WHERE they go. And yes, that includes Wrigley Field.
@haydesigner A truly Meh establishment.
Why not donate them to the local food bank?
@lonocat
They didn’t want them.
Do you have a purple one?
@katbyter
Three.
@FreePasta that’s my first wish but I don’t even know what other colors they come in. What’s your favorite?
@katbyter
I’ll take some pictures of them sorted by color later.
(Anything to get even some of them out of the house.)
@FreePasta @katbyter Here’s a picture I took of mine before I donated them to a local farmer’s market. Since then, Meh has offered some other colors, like yellow, white and maybe something else I can’t remember.

@heartny @katbyter
Oh, and there was also a green bag with yellowish ink.
And white with blue ink.
OK, I am officially confused/intrigued…
If I point my cursor at your member name I get that you are a member since May 2024… yet somehow you have accumulated 60 IRK bags.
@chienfou
Oh wait… I got it.
@chienfou I see a disabled profile! What magic trick did you use? LOL
@PooltoyWolf
if you just hover over the name with your cursor (on a computer any way…) a box pops up with the date they became a member and any other 'accolades, like dead goat etc. Thought initially it was the joining date for meh, not the “membership” date.
TL:DR no voodoo involved.
@chienfou I’m on a phone (Android) which you can’t do that on, as far as I know. I’m surprised something that’s locked and unviewable on one platform is visible on another!
@chienfou @PooltoyWolf
Can’t you use Bluetooth to connect a mouse to your phone so that you could get a cursor?
@chienfou @PooltoyWolf The issue is the treatment of the cursor. Android is touch-based, which assumes a different input than that of a mouse. By default, it implies a click, roughly, instead of a hover. The hover is a prompt to display hidden information in the page, while the click action activates a link. Much depends on the coding attached to the element; a long touch on the star produces a display of the list of those who have clicked it, while a short touch is just a click on the star. But an element with a link will pop up a submenu when long-touched.
@chienfou @FreePasta That is way more effort (and purchases) than it’s worth LOL. 98% of my Internet usage is through my cell phone, haha
@chienfou @werehatrack This is the answer.
@chienfou @PooltoyWolf @werehatrack If the person let their membership drop then when they pay for it again it shows the new date.
@Kidsandliz
yeah, I got that.
@chienfou @PooltoyWolf (dead goat?)
Can you see all that on me (even though I have profiles disabled)?
@chienfou @FreePasta Also I found a Bluetooth mouse in the house, connected it to my phone, and I’ll be damned if it didn’t actually put a usable cursor on my phone’s screen. That is a new one to me and is almost surreal LMAO! HOWEVER it does not allow me to hover over things to reveal their secrets, darn.
@chienfou
My membership was using an expired card, and I forgot to update it before it tried billing again.
Whoops.
17 bags down, lots more to go.
(I can fit a dozen in a box for maybe $8.)
@FreePasta I have some I could send out if anyone is looking for colors you don’t have.
I’m finally running low on bags. (I got a bunch of requests this morning.
Parting with this collection is bittersweet.
I’m down to my final 12 bags if anybody is still interested in taking (some or all of) them off my hands for shipping costs.
Still looking for somebody to take the last dozen off my hands for shipping costs.
@FreePasta
I’ll take some. Always find a use.
I have had 12 IRKs since the switch from fuku to IRK. I should have 11 bags (one I had to throw away because it arrived toxically doused in poo poori).
I could only tell you where 5 of the bags are. Two in my car, three in my wife’s, used all the time. There are 6 more floating around the house in unknown locations- which is a shame because they’re really useful bags. I prefer them to any reusable shopping bag from any store.
