Most and Least useful Meh purchases?
3Most: Samba Glass Insulated Pitchers on Two-for-Tuesdays. Unbelievable how long they keep liquids hot. Only knock is they are a bit small but getting two solves that issue.
Least: Cool Gear Double-Insulated Mason Mug. Another Two-for purchase. Too small. Cumbersome latch. Loose, rubberized wrap around mug. Already donated to Goodwill. I also think this is the product that took forever to arrive because of weather. sad trombone

Most: Anything that does include intoxication.

Most: Fuku 6.
@PlacidPenguin
@f00l takes the blame for
@PlacidPenguin showing off
So many fuku/os.
Bestest was the Kickstarter Fuku with the Chrome laptop, although I love my microfiber comforters – all of them.
Wortest was those stupid rock hard bamboo pillows. Awful, awful, really awful.
@Barney
Wasn’t there a suggestion on how to soften them?
@Barney
Well if you ever need landfill …
/giphy "purple landfill"
@PlacidPenguin I tried everything, short of taking them outside and shooting them.
@Barney
Talk about lenient gun laws.
@PlacidPenguin The land of Oz.
Honorable Mentionables: The $1 T-shirts.
@Barney agree with both of your purchases
@Barney +1 for the bamboo pillows.
Most: Contigo 32 oz water bottle. Used daily at work, and filled up at least twice a day.
Runner up: X-Mini speakers (those little guys that magnet together. Used almost daily in the shower (well, they’re next to the shower while I’m in it…
Least: Those stupid bento boxes. Just, not near as cool as I thought they would be. Too bulky. And I bought 3 of them
@luvche21 I really like the boxes. I use mine often. I gave several sets as gifts. I hope they liked them!
Most useful: vacuum insulated mugs.
Least useful: ceramic vacuum insulated mugs shipped without dunnage.
most useful: toss-up between meh shirts and contigo
least useful: AAA fuji batteries
@carl669
The leaking ones?
@PlacidPenguin My AA Fujis were fine.
@PlacidPenguin yep.
@carl669 you and me both!
Most: (three way tie… or I’m simply indecisive) JBL Mini, Ivation Camp Shower, and Bubba Tumblers
Least: (no contest) the POS Mastrad TopChips set (Salvation Army now has it)
(In fairness, I think @JonT gave me the first of many JBL Mini/Micros and the Mastrad.)
@RedOak I use that little slicer almost every day but have never used the rest of the set.
@RedOak We used that Mastrad (from woot tho back in the day…) maybe twice. The first time my wife took a huge slice out of her finger when slicing. Plus the chips never were any good. Such a good idea though!
@speediedelivery do yourself (especially your safety) a favor and get a real mandoline. Easy to find highly reviewed models on Amazon.
Especially if you’re using it everyday - no contest.
(I could have sneaked that cheap little one out of the Mastrad kit before donating it but didn’t bother.)
… and if you’re really concerned about safety get a pair of the anti-slice your fingers gloves, also on Amazon.
Most? Vacuum sealer. It’s nice not having a freezer full of loose food bits because a twist-tie came loose or a zip-top split open.
Least: the camping dishes, if only because I bought them for my emergency kit and we haven’t had a catastrophic emergency, yet. I actually hope they don’t become useful, but they may end up the most useful of all.
Most: VMP
Least: Can’t think of one. I’m choosy. Plus, a lot of times I’ll buy something here I think I want or I’ll need someday, only to end up giving it away. So even if it sucks, I finish with scoring some points in my column. Maybe someday it comes back around as a dinner invite or a bottle of hootch . . . or a dime bag. Or maybe they stick me with something equally fucked. In which case, I’ll give it away too.
@Pavlov That’s somewhere between capitalism and a barter economy.
Most: Boyd foam mattress. We sleep on it every night.
Runner up: Bubba insulated thermal tumbler. I use it 3-5 times a week.
Least in multi-way tie for never used once: high-top slippers (tried on and straight to thrift store), Bubba 128 oz sport jug, Samba glass insulated glass pitchers, defaced insulated tumbler, bento box set, Conair shower heads, Philips Blu-ray player.
Most: GRIME BOSS HAND WIPES .
Also during this holiday season: IVATION REMOTE CONTROL OUTLETS
Least: MEH: YEAR ONE LIMITED EDITION COMMEMORATIVE COLLECTORS SHIRT
The printing was so low on the shirt, it was unwearable.
@MrMark You need a bottle of glitter glue, in black. Spread the glue over the printed letters, let it dry 4 hours, and wear. It gives a subtle, cheerful ninja effect.
Most: down alternative blanket…use it every day, summer and winter!
Least: eclipse bluetooth speaker…battery fail there, but they were titled mediocre…
Most: Microfiber comforters. I am curled up in one now.
Least: Those Bluetooth keyboards. I should have known I would not like the size or maybe I need to work with it more to get used to it.
MOST: https://meh.com/forum/topics/2-for-tuesday--ewave-automatic-soap--sanitizer-dispenser (it was great!)

Most: Blendtec. Nearly half the Costco price. Amazing deal.
Worst: Mediocre socks. Calling them mediocre is an exaggeration. Even Kreacher may have thrown them back in disgust.
I use the Microfiber comforters and bamboo pillows every night. Also, the kershaw knife I bought is so usefull it floats around my house constantly.
Worst? its a tie. The X-MINI MAX STEREO SPEAKERS, were just awful & a stupid purchase even at $2 each. The big thanksgiving bundle is more of a classic useless since it came too late for that thanksgiving and I had to buy it all two days before locally. I got good stuff for not much more money, and now the Meh spares sit in my basement never to be used.
Best - Bubba tumblers. Use 'em all the time.
Worst - Bluetooth speaker lights, or maybe the Mohu I haven’t even opened cuz I want someone to create new firmware for it to make it good first.
Most is a tie. Bubba Tumbler (daily use; it’s next to me as I type this) and a Powernow charger (used every few days; my very first Meh purchase from two years ago).
Least is basically everything else. The most common being bluetooth speakers, other portable chargers, and backpacks which have never been used/opened.
