@sammydog01 TeeTurtle uses Next Level a lot, so if you have any of their shirts, it’ll be like that. Feels a little thinner than AA, but oh so squishy soft.
Crap. What did I just buy. What did I just buy in men’s size large. I need a minute to process this. But I had to be quick on the draw, you see. See! See?!?
(You’ll have to tally the counts for previous mehrathosns, although the numbers by them were lowered after orders were cancelled. And yes, the 2921 bags sold today will probably go down a little.)
Well after literally watching each and every meh ration offering today, I just had to get a t shirt…why you wonder well maybe I am a little tee’d off ! In for one t-shirt I don’t need but want one for some strange reason.Oh and I got a bag earlier today just couldn’t resist watching this April fools meh ration play out.
@AttyVette me too. I got a bag on the 4th or 5th offering last night. Add a shirt, 30+ mehs, the drama and frustration of everyone else, and a 不幸袋 shirt to mark the occasion. Good meh day.
I used my second coupon to get a free shirt for my husband. It’s not one I’d ever wear, but he can at least wear it under his uniforms. This was a good run, Meh! Nice to have a mehrathon where I know we won’t spend more than $15.
@seraphimcaduto so you are a tiny person then? cause if you are normal sized person you should have bought an double extra large and a triple extra large.
@bdp I killed my last one on that damn robot vacuum. Really shouldn’t have wasted one on the edible arrangements box, but my coworkers seemed to enjoy it
Smaller shirts are preferred since t-shirts stretch, a lot. Turn shirt inside out, sew across the bottom hem. Cut off the collar to adjust how big the opening is. Cut off the sleeves to get the handles. Done!
@mike808 There were 2919 Fukos, which sounds like a lot, but you were lucky and dodged the bullet of receiving the crap so awful they couldn’t sell it in bundles. Watch the reveal thread to find out just how they cleaned out their warehouse. Maybe someone will get a beat up screwdriver or a half-filled stapler!
On the other hand, the shirt looks pretty sharp. First thing I’ll do when mine comes is find someone who can tell me what it really says.
@ACraigL I missed it too cause I got bored w/ all day fukos - did actually manage to snag one…so my losing streak there is now broken…I have acquired one on my own…but I’m bummed I missed the t-shirt…although if everyone’s fuko ended up being that t-shirt…that would be cool…and btw…does anyone have stats if anyone was able to get more than one fuko yesterday? I’m curious…
@ACraigL Sorry to hear that but it’s not too surprising. Hopefully they will have some good sales like on Pizza Day. I paid ten dollars for Kraken Bathtime after a Happy Hour coupon and that was still a bit high for a shirt made in Honduras.
@GLaDOS@narfcake I didn’t notice- they are really funny. The last few offerings also had funny model numbers. Maybe some nice volunteer could put together a list along with the photos? No, not me. I’m not nice.
i need a fuko shirt. without it, my life is incomplete. i am willing to offer in trade, one used starbucks cup, one reward card to Binny’s (a local alcohol purveyor), and one hella smart looking dog*.

(Currently, shirt.woot’s fitted option are Bella+Canvas blanks. TeeTurtle usually uses Next Level for the unisex shirts, though will occasionally use Canvas also if they’re out of stock.)
@duodec@narfcake I have a grey next level meh shirt and I like it. This black one seems thinner.
The woot shirt here is AA, so not fair really. Same light source approx same distance and angle. My hand behind the shirt. The fuko has never been worn nor washed while woot shirt is old.
@medz@sammydog01 Worse than “who tried it on” is the potential for manufacturing chemical residues and even pesticides. Imported textiles are sometimes treated with pesticides to avoid spoilage during transport and storage.
@sammydog01 Warped Tour, 1996 concert shirt. It caused welts within minutes after putting it on at the venue. When I took the shirt off, everywhere it touched my body was one giant red and white blister. It was bad enough I was at an outdoor venue. But it was July 4th in Phoenix. Temp hovered around 110* and I was covered in a burning, itching welt from neck to waist. LOL!
That was the last time I wore any piece of clothing without washing first.
@ruouttaurmind@sammydog01 The pesticides start from the very beginning. The US supplies a lot of cotton to the world because GMO/pesticides/chemicals make it consistent and US government subsidies keep it cheap.

Fuko u meh.

@boc It almost looks like purple pony is putting her hoof up pink pony’s mouth
No womeh’s?
$15 for a Meh Shirt. Pshhh, pass.
@studerc you mean
$15 for a meh shirt and VMP for a month
@studerc @thechinglish So if I buy the grabbers, I get free shipping?
@studerc @thechinglish Because, meh still wants to charge me shipping for the grabbers.
Had to, still had a coupon.
/giphy meaty-yielding-market
So the good news is, because of Passover, I was offline for most of the day today, and missed most of the fukos.
The bad news is, I just bought a t-shirt I don’t want.
@PlacidPenguin Brother! Or sister!
@GLaDOS
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Besides, my Meh order history continues to ONLY have Meh mehrchandise, so I’m happy that I was able to add to it.
@PlacidPenguin Keep it up!
@GLaDOS
My next order from Meh will be in July (when Meh celebrates their birthday).
@PlacidPenguin Let me confirm the date: July 9?
If I can’t get this logo on a tote bag, I’ll take it on a shirt. I’ll use a shirt more anyway, tbh.
Where’s my screaming, flying monkey?
@mamawoot
/giphy screaming flying monkey
Yay, a Meh shirt with a new and different design. Thanks!
IN!
Didn’t get anything, but that was fun while it lasted.
I’ll laugh if tomorrow’s deal is a robot.
@JT954 And here we are:
Got one in the Hiragana?

What was the total number of fuko bags sold today? How does it compare to previous fukos? More or less or about the same?
@psantora
Significantly more today.
http://mehstalker.com/search.php?search=Fuko
You’ll have to tally the other mehrathon listings though, as @lichme never took care of it.
(For Fukus, go here: http://mehstalker.com/search.php?search=Fuku)
I LOVE this shirt! Bought three. I hope it’s not some crappy fabric.
@sammydog01 TeeTurtle uses Next Level a lot, so if you have any of their shirts, it’ll be like that. Feels a little thinner than AA, but oh so squishy soft.
¯_(ツ)_/¯ Well…that escalated quickly…
@bcsides2000 You dropped this: \
Crap. What did I just buy. What did I just buy in men’s size large. I need a minute to process this. But I had to be quick on the draw, you see. See! See?!?
@GLaDOS You can cancel after you think about it but I hope you don’t.
@sammydog01 meh.
Ended with 2921 bags sold.
If we read into the description… the Meh-rathon may continue at midnight eastern. If we know better, we will be full of disappointment.
@todaresq Never let it be said: “meh gives no fuks”
@todaresq any idea how that compares to previous Fukos?
@psantora @todaresq
Significantly more than other Fukos.
http://mehstalker.com/search.php?search=Fuko
(You’ll have to tally the counts for previous mehrathosns, although the numbers by them were lowered after orders were cancelled. And yes, the 2921 bags sold today will probably go down a little.)
Couldn’t resist another damn T-shirt…
/giphy trying-obstinate-samurai
So what does the text on the shirt translate to? Is it ‘fuko’? or ‘meh’?
@Ozzie2191 Basically ‘unlucky’
@Ozzie2191 Fukobukuro
@Ozzie2191 my girlfriend who doesnt know much about meh translated it as ‘unhapiness bag’
@Jrex @Ozzie2191 In Chinese the 幸 character can mean happiness or luck. So unhappy bag or unlucky bag… neither are wrong.
@Ozzie2191 My translator app translates it as “morning issue”!

I look forward to the day I’m wearing it and someone who can read Japanese has something to say.
/giphy breezy-restless-malt
Oh hell, Can’t even get a Fuko on their great big, everybody have a Fuko day. I’d take a pity Fuko.
For some reason I bought a large and an extra large… feel free to judge me because I’m already doing that myself.
@seraphimcaduto so you are a tiny person then? cause if you are normal sized person you should have bought an double extra large and a triple extra large.
@seraphimcaduto Me too. Actually 2 extra larges because you can always wear a shirt that’s too large.
@thismyusername I might have to buy more…
@sammydog01 I wasn’t sure of the new sizing and I liked the shirt.
I have a few Meh shirts including the K one but I’m actually looking forward to this for some strange reason

Perfect for the ol…I spent all of my Easter trying to score a Fuko and all I got was this lousy T-shirt…
/giphy thoughtless-annoying-meeting
Meh, to accompany my fuko.
/giphy icky-blind-burrito
They said 4 times this wasn’t a Fuko… Kinda like a double negative but doubled… so I’m now expecting to be royally Fuko’d
/giphy acute-receptive-protest
I felt compelled to buy since I actually managed to purchase my first fuko shirt. Plus, coupon.

@RiotDemon That is from the Monogatori anime!
As fun as it was to watch the spiteful-teasing-battle of the fukos, I’m kinda glad it’s over. Been there, done that, ordered the shirt.
Last VMP casemates coupon spent! $0 Fuko shirt FTW.

@megania
Limited edition!
@megania Get @riotdemon to teach you how to make a bag out of it?
@megania @sammydog01
@narfcake made a picture tutorial. Somewhere.
Smaller shirts are preferred since t-shirts stretch, a lot. Turn shirt inside out, sew across the bottom hem. Cut off the collar to adjust how big the opening is. Cut off the sleeves to get the handles. Done!

Missed every fuko, and now not even a shirt to celebrate loserhood.
I blame @shahnm, goat of fools.
@mike808 There were 2919 Fukos, which sounds like a lot, but you were lucky and dodged the bullet of receiving the crap so awful they couldn’t sell it in bundles. Watch the reveal thread to find out just how they cleaned out their warehouse. Maybe someone will get a beat up screwdriver or a half-filled stapler!
On the other hand, the shirt looks pretty sharp. First thing I’ll do when mine comes is find someone who can tell me what it really says.
@excarnate Translation:
“Happy trade money for crap.”
Dangit. Fell asleep. Any way I can snag one of these at a different site? I need my Meh shirt collection to be complete.
/giphy you complete me
@oppodude Ya, I’d like to get one as well.
Missed the shirt. I’d want one, but did I get that right? $15? Seems steep.
@ACraigL I missed it too cause I got bored w/ all day fukos - did actually manage to snag one…so my losing streak there is now broken…I have acquired one on my own…but I’m bummed I missed the t-shirt…although if everyone’s fuko ended up being that t-shirt…that would be cool…and btw…does anyone have stats if anyone was able to get more than one fuko yesterday? I’m curious…
@ACraigL it was $10 plus shipping if not vmp.
@RiotDemon Ah! That’s more like it. Thanks.
@ACraigL It’s cheaper than the Christmas tree shitting gifts.
@sammydog01 Don’t remind me. That price hike has killed sales.
@ACraigL Sorry to hear that but it’s not too surprising. Hopefully they will have some good sales like on Pizza Day. I paid ten dollars for Kraken Bathtime after a Happy Hour coupon and that was still a bit high for a shirt made in Honduras.
Did anyone else notice the funny and distinct URLs for each purchase page for each fuko during the mehrathon?
@GLaDOS Yes. It’s most likely to thwart clever people from jumping the gun and buying a box before that were supposed to.
It’s a carryover from the Woot days.
@GLaDOS @narfcake I didn’t notice- they are really funny. The last few offerings also had funny model numbers. Maybe some nice volunteer could put together a list along with the photos? No, not me. I’m not nice.
dear meh,
i need a fuko shirt. without it, my life is incomplete. i am willing to offer in trade, one used starbucks cup, one reward card to Binny’s (a local alcohol purveyor), and one hella smart looking dog*.

@carl669 @towhomitmayconcern ditto on the offer… I need a FUKO shirt to make my life complete too!
@carl669 @mikibell yeah, I missed out on this one, didn’t realize it wasn’t another Fuko until it was too late. I totally would have bought one.
@carl669 @djslack @mikibell
@dave
Me Four.
@carl669 @djslack @f00l @mikibell No promises, but I’d like to figure out a way to do this, so I’ll think about it a bit.
@dave
So…
You could do a reprint of a limited edition shirt, but you couldn’t get a better availability of certain color/size combos in March 2017.
Aside from the slight issues with my copy of this t-shirt, I enjoy it.
Do we know who placed the last order? Mine was at 11:59pm ET because that’s when I returned to check for the next day’s deal. Close one.
/giphy massive-jazzy-raspberry
Got my shirt.
The printing is slightly off, and there are some issues regarding letter edges, but otherwise it’s a decent shirt.
@PlacidPenguin I love mine.
@sammydog01
Shame they didn’t have a penguin sized t-shirt.
@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 I still have yet to receive a tracking number to a shirt I didn’t order.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@PlacidPenguin Maybe next shirt.
Mine is REALLY thin fabric.
@medz I’m wearing mine now and my bra straps don’t show. Good enough for me.
@medz Thin but it seems like a dense weave. No complaints.
@duodec @medz The Next Level shirts are lighter in weight, but they are super squishy soft too.
Different brand, but same concepts; some reading material here:

(Currently, shirt.woot’s fitted option are Bella+Canvas blanks. TeeTurtle usually uses Next Level for the unisex shirts, though will occasionally use Canvas also if they’re out of stock.)

The woot shirt here is AA, so not fair really. Same light source approx same distance and angle. My hand behind the shirt. The fuko has never been worn nor washed while woot shirt is old.
@medz Cotton fibers will swell up a bit after washing.Two silver NLA (TeeTurtle) shirts; right has been worn/washed more than the left.
@narfcake ok
@medz If I end up completely wrong, though, you know who to blame.
@medz @narfcake I always wash shirts before I wear them to get the processing junk off them.
@narfcake @sammydog01 me too. Never know who tried it on.
@medz @sammydog01 Worse than “who tried it on” is the potential for manufacturing chemical residues and even pesticides. Imported textiles are sometimes treated with pesticides to avoid spoilage during transport and storage.
@ruouttaurmind That’s what I meant by processing junk. Cotton doesn’t just run through equipment without a lot of stuff added to it.

But when Blink-182 started playing and everyone crowded up to the stage, I swear it felt like I was going to burst into flames.

Nah. That was just a bodily reaction to your developing sickness.
