@candiedisilvio1 Oh, you know, the “bots”. Programs people write to automatically buy things with faster-than-human processing thus scooping-up all the highly desired items before “real” people can make a purchase. Meh has started using the re-captcha to try to prevent the bots from succeeding, but it’s an ongoing battle between us and the robots. Those bastards will instantly buy anything under $5 if coded to do so. We meatbags have little chance…
@medz Wow…that kind of sucks that they do that. I hope they love the crap playdoo also! Thanks for the info I’m a little behind the times with tech but I’m trying!
Not to rain on someone else’s sprinkle parade. But I can think of at least 5 kitchen contraptions I already own that can mix m&ms into ice cream not the least of which is a spoon.

or maybe try a spoon
/giphy tick spoon
So it’s like owning your very own Marble Slab or Cold Stone Creamery?
Only five bucks! But it takes up more counter space than a bowl and spoon. Decisions…
/giphy Mix 'N Twist
Amazon reviews are “hot” on this when it comes to melting ice cream
/giphy too hot to handle
I’ve tried something like this before. Waste of kitchen space.
might be fun as a play-doh accessory…
@medz I would be surprised if play-do would go through this thing.
@sammydog01 but snickers and blue berries would though?
@medz In tiny pieces?
/giphy tiny blueberries
I almost bought this under the ‘shit, it’s only $5’, but then I read the reviews… and I still am thinking about it.
@Arsh Me too! Damn those five dollar items.
Edit: sold out. We are saved!
@Arsh Keep thinking and the timer will save you.
Still a few more in the corner of the warehouse …
Too bad I didn’t order the poop from the Meh-rathon opening. Would have partnered perfectly with this.
Should I?
meh POS!
sold out?! 65 people must have forgotten to turn off their $5 auto-buy bots after the last fuko.
@medz Falling slowly. Down to 62 people already
@medz what’s an auto buy bot?

@medz I guess I was lucky to get my robots. Ooh, ironic.

@medz Maybe the 4 that got cancelled will make it into fukos. If so I hope I don’t get one.
For five bucks it’s worth a twist…err, spin.
This sold out? I think that buying anything called a Mix 'N Twist only encourages them.

I got three of these as gifts for the people at my vet’s office. Enough of them have younger kids that might have fun with this type of thing.
Did anyone else receive theirs without a manufacturer’s box?
@michaelgj2002 same here, no manufacturer’s box
