PAVLOV - Is a classic daily deal site compelling again? The simple fun of a single daily event store went downhill with the added clutter of selection - is a rebirth possible?

Scientific Method-
1. Ask a Question- Is a rebirth possible?
2. Do Background Research- Kickstarter (do we have support) Yes
3. Construct a Hypothesis- If we start a daily deal site, people will buy our crap, and then we can make a living.
4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment - Launch of Meh 86 days ago.
5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion -?
6. Communicate Your Results- ?

Comment:
We are all part of a crazy experiment. We are currently in the hypotheses testing phase. Now, all experiments have a start and an end. They also have an acceptance criteria. What will define PAVLOV as a success or failure? When will this all disappear?

"The only failed experiment is one in which we fail to learn."

If all experiments have a start and an end, does this mean Meh is only temporary and will one day disappear? Say it ain't so!

I've spent money at this site, often buying crap I don't want or need. I think that would make it a success.

- @pamela405 Is this an experiment where you're trying to figure out how many guesses it takes for one of us to guess where you hid it? If so, my guess is under the bed. If not, check here: https://meh.com/orders

- @pamela405 like @PurplePawprints said, all of your purchases show up at meh.com/orders and you'll see a tracking number there once they've shipped.
