Pearl Harbor Day IRK Reveal
25In honor of the Pearl Harbor Day Meh-ra-thon, I just got bombed with my first-ever IRK. Perhaps my participation in the Mehrican Gift Exchange will be more traditional than I thought.
Contents:
–Magnetic Tiles Toy: I had already bought this for my grandson; now he gets two. This raises the issue of his getting more gifts than his brother, so maybe not.
–Malin clutch purse/wallet. Does the fact that it has lugs for a strap and includes one make in not a clutch? Maybe a 2021 stocking stuffer for my grown daughter.
–Sophie & Freda lady’s watch. Maybe a 2022 stocking stuffer for my grown daughter.
–How Now to Be a Dick book. Is Meh trying to tell me something?
–Bamboo Comfort Deep Pocket Luxury Twin Sheet Set. Bamboo sheets do not sound comfortable, and I have no twin beds. But they look nice.
–The coveted IRK bag!
So Meh apparently thinks I am a little girl aged 3+ who sleeps in a twin bed and acts like a dick. They have me pegged. (I’ll keep mum about how I got a grown daughter.)

I mistyped How Not to Be a Dick as How Now to Be a Dick. What a dick.
@ThunderChicken Sorry.
You did refer to pearl harbor and being bombed with a package, so, maybe?
@RiotDemon Thanks for correcting my typo in the blockquote.
I’m seriously laughing out loud
@GzBiH Jeez, what do you do when you’re amused?
@ThunderChicken
If they visit you keep it at your house so they have something to play with at your house.
@Kidsandliz Good idea!
@Kidsandliz Or keep the second set to replace the inevitable lost tiles from the first set.
I am jealous!!
my 2020 themed Irk
skinny Fuku/Fuko bag
bedazzled camo steering wheel cover
a glass lid for a pot
some Ron Popeil fryer filters
an unfolded box for a diffuser
@clonetek Very snake skin-like. Going to use it?
@sammydog01 It’s “gem camo”, almost looks like mardi gras colors. It’ll prolly get donated to the thrift store along with the pot lid.
@clonetek Sweet…a “vintage” Fuko bag!
@clonetek
I can feel the massive amount of regret coursing through your veins.
Not complaining for $5
@sweetpqte Those knives are fantastic…I actually paid to get them and LOVE them!
@cbilyak good to know!! Thanks!
I got Jayson’s copy of “The Rock Says”. Thanks, Jason’s mom. Also some opened knives, steamer, and take candle.
@medz I hope they went to Goodwill again.
Ahahaha. I got asked to come get mine from the office because it’s super freakin heavy they said. Ohh lawd.
Freakin surreal.
Got an 8 piece Cuisinart Tri-Ply Stainless cookware set, cooler tie downs, charging box with cable for a flitt drone, a wet brush hairbrush, polar flowlink data transfer unit in package, a set of rachel glaubel earrings and an IRK bag!
This is phenomenal. Thank you Meh!!!
@mikesmells jackpot!!! Nice!
@mikesmells I got the same cookware set! Still a little shocked about that - and yeah - that sucker was heavy! Thank you so much Meh!
I got a red IRK bag
P3 International Save a Watt plug
Plastic bowl - looks to be one of a set.
Laura Ashley watch - msrp on box says $345, Macy’s sells it for $80
Wonder brand large tote - msrp claims $128, realistically finding it for about $49 online
Not a bad haul for $5 and most items will be used!
@cbilyak I got the watch last time in rose gold. I really like it!
I’m 6’4” 230 lbs. got a size S/m lounge robes and a black irk bag
@riceatusc Pics or it didn’t happen.
@capnjb they actually sent me 3 of them
@capnjb @riceatusc Can you sew? Because three sounds about right to stitch together.
Talk about Regret
1 Irk bag
4 Ceramic mugs, three that are broken
@stryper2000 I got the same thing, but my mugs aren’t broken…yet.
@stryper2000 I also got the mugs, not broken, but three blue and one brown. Fortunately I got a blue in a previous IRK, so now I have a set of four and an extra.
@stryper2000 I got the same thing, but 1 bag and 4 not-broken, matching, mugs. Wonder why they shipped you the broken ones?
@caffeineguy I can’t prove they were broken. They might have been fine but they weren’t packed well. No bags of air
@stryper2000 I too received 4 ceramic mugs, but only 1 was broken.
@stryper2000 I also only recieved the mugs. WTF that’s only 1 item cause they were sold as a 4 pack. And I already had 5 (4 from actually ordering them, 1 from the last round of irks) I’m actually mad about this instead of just disappointed. WHOEVER was in charge of this needs reminded what the Irks were SUPPOSED to be-random assortments of at least 5 things plus the bag.
@Jamileigh17 @stryper2000 Where did you read it’s supposed to be at least 5 things plus the bag? I see:
@stryper2000
@sammydog01 @stryper2000 Because that’s been the norm since the site started? Sometimes it’s 4 instead of 5, but I just blamed that on harried packers. I feel like maybe back in the fuku era they spelled it out? I dunno dude, I’m VMP and ADHD, hell if I know where or when they did, but that’s been true of all the many fuku/fuko/irks I’ve received to date.
@Jamileigh17 Hehehe- “but that’s been true of all the many fuku/fuko/irks I’ve received to date.”
Well uck-fay ou-yay Ms. Curtis with all your many IRK’s/Fukuokus, I have tried mightily and gotten juzt 2 [dos], in almost 6 years of trying.
Srsly, that was for real, a bag of some shitty regret.
My condolences.
@stryper2000 I received the same - my mugs are not broken. I now have 4 blue and one brown! IRK!
I thought 2 of 4 broken was a bad deal but now my day is brighter.
Two IRKs ago I received exactly 108 of the same gift bag. Eight more of those bags showed up in this IRK.
The day after my XBox IRK I received this:
This is how you bring someone back down to earth! A totally regulation IRK. Thanks, Meh!
I’m actually building up quite the collection of mugs. I think all but one is blue, too.
Oh, and interesting thing, this time everything was in the IRK bag and then dropped in the box. That’s never happened before.
@djslack I got the same thing except I got three of the rockets and no filters.
And everything was in the IRK bag…bonus!
@djslack Hey did you open the motion control rocket? What does it look like?
@mehgrl no I didn’t but I believe it looks like this:
@djslack @mehgrl mine have all been this kind:
And duds.
Fedex just dropped off my IRK.
-Blue IRK bag.
-2 power banks
-a reasonably attractive comforter set in a size I can use!
I’m happy with this little haul!
-Blue IRK bag
-Meh make-your-own phone stand
-PurseN Ava Travel Case which I think is pretty ugly, but actually seems functional. I’ll wrap it for my better half just so she can look at me like “why would you buy this for me?”
-2x Toilettree nose and ear trimmers, new and unopened (thankfully)
-Chronowatch smart watch, new and unopened.
Thanks, meh! I am pretty pleased, and it is the first time everything has been new.
Ho ho ho, no regrets here!
1 x Dark blue IRK bag
1 x Joy Mangano hardside dresser in perfect condition
1 x Cozy Homes 100% cotton bath towel
1 x Box with 2 XL food huggers, 2 L food huggers, 2 medium food huggers, 2 small food huggers, 1 large avocado hugger and 1 small avocado hugger. Apparently my food will be getting lots of love now!
1 x Huds On & Mane; “Makes thin hair full everyday”!
Thanks Meh, Merry Christmas!
@davidd13 I got the exact same IRK.
/giphy same
@davidd13 @boc I got this but with sports bras instead of food huggers
dear-corny-toy
IRK arrived early
But just 4 mugs and a bag
Drats, can’t win 'em all!
@Rylock Could actually be worse. I got the bag, two mugs plus three unmade boxes for reed diffusers. Not three diffusers, mind you, just the boxes.
I’ve had better in the past, so it averages out okay. Certainly one of my stranger ones, though. Must work out a craft project I can use for the boxes.
@Bimble @Rylock It IS a pretty box, maybe some decoupage? After my own heart, lemons out of lemonaide!
Much better!
Navy IRK bag
Nice comforter set in a good color
A pack of green tea face masks
No IRKing here!
Mine arrives Monday.
Fingers crossed.
Got mine super fast this time, usually I’m the last person posting. I got
A pair of legging, I can always use more.
Suede jacket size XL, too big for me
2 pair face mask, always useful.
Purple triangle frame cooler, I’m sure I can pawn this off on someone.
Ren and stinpy “you eediot” cd. Got a good laugh out of this.
Irk bag with pockets
Thanks meh, I’m happy with mine.
@Star2236
/image gif happy happy joy joy
@Star2236 I got the frame cooler in navy blue, and a Chipmunk Punk LP album.
Got mine today. I got the regulation blue IRK bag, a crushed box containing a plastic circus ride toy designed for ages 3 and up, and an Incase brand duffel bag- extra large- which is an awesome and timely bonus. Major score! Merry Christmas, meh team!
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot Ok, Mediocrebot. Yes, I said that word. But it’s a very nice bag and I am truly grateful.
0
Just got mine. Fun little spread, and only a little gross.
Blue IRK bag
A nice women’s coat
A cool and even cooler cooler
3 crappy fashion face masks
One week wrapped, bit poorly cleaned M&Ms jar
A Backstreet Boys Cassette??? Fucking winning!
Thanks meh!!
@ACraigL
Lol the Backstreet Boys is the winner!
@Star2236 Yes! Who needs an X-Box, right?
@ACraigL Love, love, LOVE, Mr. M&M!! I’ve been addicted to the caramel ones! YUM!!
Just received:
Blue Irk bag
2 blue asobu mugs (not broken)
Red motion control rocket - sealed in gift box
Smurfs PEZ click & play pack
Not a bad haul
Got mine today.
The forgot to pack the meh bag. I will be writing to customer care for that.
@sasantosh HEY WAIT A MINUTE, they forgot to include the robot vac, the knife set and the brand new set of matching luggage in MY irk last time! You mean all I had to do was call customer service? Boy oh boy dig I screw up!!
@Lynnerizer I wrote and they said they will ship extra in next haul if I win one.
You can call and ask may be you will get an Xbox with the rest of the stuff you didn’t got.
Had high hopes given that it was in a big box which I had trouble lifting.
My best IRK ever and maybe best IRK I have ever seen.
4 Geeni Wifi Bulbs
Blue IRK bag
Impulse Wireless Headphones
Broadbeam Wireless worklight
And last but certainly not least-drumroll please
A what appears to be new X Box series X gaming station. Called our son and he said it is sold out everywhere because it just came out in November 2020
(manu date on back says 10/21/20) and sells for $ 500. Told me he would pay for shipping if I sent it to him. Our daughter is pissed we didn’t offer it to her.
@Felton10 holy cow you really hit the lottery!
@MrMikenIkes It would appear so according to my son-would have been happy with an old Atari system-more my speed.
@djslack found your Xbox Series X.
@Felton10 you win this round, congrats!
@Felton10 hey, I have the box that xbox one x came in from my late November irk that shipped the day before this one!
It’s cool because I can pretend it’s an Xbox
Congratulations!
@Ignorant This is my 20th Fucko aka IRK aka other things-maybe it was destiny. But let see if it works first.
@djslack wonder where the box went to-it was wrapped up in a lot of bubble wrap to protect it.
Keeping my fingers crossed to see if it works. If you still have the box, does it have a serial number on it to verify that it goes with my unit?
@Felton10 the label was removed and a plain white label stuck over to cover the sticky spot on the box from the looks of things. But I’ll choose to believe that our IRKs were siblings, separated at birth.
@djslack At least we know each found a good home.
@djslack @Felton10 BUBBLE WRAP??? Meh owns bubble wrap? Are you sure this came from meh?
@djslack @Kidsandliz Well it was poorly taped and it contained a meh bag and I don’t know anyone that hates me enough to send me one. Plus I’ll bet they used up all their bubble wrap and air bags to protect it when they sent it to me.
@Felton10
Wow, you really got lucky.
@djslack @Felton10 Awww, i’m swellin up, thats SO sweet! “twins reunite”!
2 more blue asobu mugs which sucks since I JUST gave away 2 blue ones.
2 more of the hovering rockets that so far look like duds. That’ll be 4 of these I’ve gotten so far. I just want one to work already.
Blue IRK bag.
Some filters a fryer.
One stroopwaffel-unfriendly mug, broken handle
One blue, or purple IRK bag
One filter kit for a 5-in-1 fryer
One self-assembly-required box, rectangular
One facial cleansing kit 🦝
This must have been the “damaged package” IRK. I suppose for the $5, I can’t complain though, as I certainly got my money’s worth:
1 Queen set of micro-fiber sheets (new, unopened, and undamaged)
1 Unicutie DIY Glitter Goop kit - The box is pretty crushed, so I can’t even put this in a Toys For Tots bin
1 Wireless phone charger which must be TRULY wireless since there was no power adapter or cord
1 “Biomega TheraPoint” massage roller. People actually BOUGHT these things? Yes they did, and promptly returned them.
1 pair of “LED Flaming Light” speakers. AS battered as the box is, it’s a wonder that these are undamaged
1 Navy blue IRK bag to add to my growing collection (this makes 10)
Thank you Meh, and MEH-ry Christmas!!
@andrewkl
Not a bad haul at all.
@andrewkl
I bought one of those rolling massagers as part of a massage kit and actually really like it. I have fused/fusing vertebrae in my neck and thus works well as a way to do some basic massage on the back of my neck by myself.
Today, mine Arrived at FedEx location HENDERSON, CO, still 890 miles away. Patience is a virtue. A virtue is a behavior showing high moral standards. I don’t have any.
@Kyser_Soze could be worse! Mine went from “scheduled delivery: 12/19” to “no scheduled delivery date at this time.” And the tracking hasn’t updated since 12/17, when it supposedly left Irving, TX.
@Kyser_Soze Wait. What? You have no moral standards or no patience?
@eggsterminate Yep, same here. My last IRK ended up arriving 10 days late. Not holding my breath on when this one will arrive.
@psbales my tracking JUST updated, and the IRK should be here tomorrow! I hope that your IRK is finally on the move, too.
@eggsterminate Just checked, It’s outside Charlotte, NC. Last time it was there, it chilled there for a bit, then hung around Atlanta for a few more days, then made it to my town. So I’m probably still looking at ~6 days. Except there’s Christmas then, sooo… maybe by New Years? Sigh. FedEx & USPS is absolutely crap in eastern GA.
@psbales Ugh, that sucks. I’m sorry! Hopefully FedEx gets its act together soon, and your IRK arrives sometime before 2021.
@eggsterminate @psbales HA HA HA HA! It’s on the move! Just left a town 346 miles away heading this way, no other stops between there and here, so it’ll probably be here tomorrow afternoon!
/giphy excited
@eggsterminate @Kyser_Soze good luck! Mine actually made it today, couldn’t believe it!
I neglected to write, although my IRK contained several things I cannot personally use, there was no absolute junk and I am very pleased.
Very happy with my bag. Thank you @meh
I got three white terry robes, size sm/med. Made in Turkey because, well, the Turkish know robes. Brand new, still in bag. Blue IRK bag. A set of magnetic leads for a muscle thingy - nothing else just the leads.
@jrloera1963
Well if your my secret Santa I could use a robe.
A bag and 4 ceramic mugs. I guess I’m lucky none were broken.
1 Queen duvet cover
1 asobu ceramic mug
1 rocket cycle toy thing
Pack of SpaLife matcha facial mask
Missed the IRK bag, hopefully will get another chance to snag the tote!
One more purple than blue IRK bag
One Turkish robe small/medium
One sealed box of a 24K gold skin cream
One torn white mystery box which contained:
@duodec THAT’S AWESOME!
POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!
@duodec
So cool!
@duodec sweet
@pooltoywolf !!!
@duodec that is AM-AZ-ING!!!
@duodec @tinamarie1974 Haha that’s cool
@PooltoyWolf Wondering WHY I thought of you immediately!
I think it must have fallen out of Santa’s bag! Ho Ho Nooooo! 
One set of face shields
One pack of KN95 protective masks
One Daisy Fuentes watch set with bangle bracelets
One Noble Face Peeling

-glass container with lid
-rubber phone stand- these things are great!
-aroma relaxing comfort wrap, lavender

Awesome Irk, thanks so much! I can’t wait to throw that neck thing in the microwave and get relaxed.
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
@sammydog01 @mediocrebot
2 asobu mugs, a meh bag and 2 unfolded boxes for xela diffusers (just the packaging, no diffusers)
/image That’s all folks
Yay it came!
1 infuse relax lavender bamboo pillow with zip case.
A bag filled with Frozen gift bags
A loose pair of very used blue tooth headphones with no ear things, which is great because I didn’t want their ear wax!
A handheld motion control Levicopter! It was even wrapped with wrapping paper!
1 Jewell mug! It’s the white one that’s blue inside that I wanted!
Great score, and gift bags for all my husband’s gifts! He can be a princess for the day!
@membrr I’ve had two of those levicopters in previous irks & both were DOA. I’m curious if yours works
@RogerWilco oh I’ll have to try it. I have a floating poo copter that’s similar that was doa. I’ll try it later today and let everyone know!
1
Yet again, no IRK Bag… who did I piss off at Meh?!
In any case, I got:
1 Kathy Ireland Queen Sheet Set
1 Easy Slice Knife Set
1 Ramekin Set
1 Mug Jig-saw puzzle that can also double as an Easy Slice Knife Set.
Mine just came. I got
Vivaspa foot massager that works
3 intact mugs and
A black IRK bag
Just got mine and no regret here! I got a bracelet, wireless charger pad, some ear buds…and a Roomba! It’s refurbished so hopefully it works
Mine showed up today.
Red bag (love me a throwback!)
A heavy metal magnetic songwriter kit
My second beloved 5-in-1 fryer filter pack
A two pack of “Motion Control Rockets” (I’ll be giving these out as gifts, anyone know what it actually is? I’m assuming just a quadcopter?)
And… a comic. Mind the Gap, #8. Anyone have the rest of them?
Not too shabby, I know just who these are going to!
@smigit2002 I would definitely open the rockets before distributing them to anyone. They’re the kind that levitate above your hand. I’ve gotten four now, all duds.
@RiotDemon thanks for the heads up! Hopefully the quadcopter I sent to my nephew in the same packaging isn’t as failure prone…
@smigit2002 I got issue #11
Got mine today
1x empty torn envelope
1x verbena reed diffuser paper packaging (no contents)
1x 2 pack of deep fryer filters
1x issue #11 image comic Mind the Gap
1x 8 inch Cuisinart skillet (noice)
1x old style red fuko bag. I like the old bags a whole lot more than the new ones.
First IRK in ages (I think since it was called an IRK). Also first time it worked from my phone.
Great kit!
Bluetooth speaker, sounds great
Wireless earbuds
Mask, leggings (fit daughter)
Find-it Bluetooth token
Meh, you have restored my faith… I’d almost given up trying to win one. THANKS!
1x Navy Blue IRK bag
3x Intact ceramic mugs
1x ceramic mug with broken handle
Easily the worst bag I’ve received to date, but apparently I shouldn’t complain since some people received only broken mugs…
No IRK bag! What???
King size 100% Polyester satin sheet set
Fleece blanket
Black facemask
Purple many-pocketed small handbag/fannypack?
Earbuds
wireless charging pad with clock
Am I getting trolled? This is the SECOND time I’ve received an IRK with nothing but a bunch of those Asobu 14oz Porcelain “Jewel” Mugs inside.
Look, I’m not going to get jealous of the people who got Xboxes or whatever because I can buy my own, but it would be nice to get some variety once in a while. A used drone without a battery, a DVD case for season 4 of an obscure show without the actual DVD inside, a baby mannequin arm, anything. Just not more of these infernal mugs, please?
@ShotgunX @Lynnerizer wants more of these mugs, I think …
@Kyeh @ShotgunX
I LOVE those mugs!! I can actually hold it with my bum hand, they’re great! Let me know if you’d like to pass them along.
Most unique IRK I’ve ever received. I think someone at Meh has seen my perpetual lamentations over the lack of purple product options, and shopped the local thrift store for something purple to send me. And actually wrapped it in bubble wrap so it would arrive unbroken. Well played, Meh.
Purple Penny Eater. Had $1.99 written on the belly and “Elle” in Sharpie on the bottom.
@katbyter so what does chipmunk punk sound like anyway?
Well, now I really wish I had tried harder to get an IRK this last time around!!!
This time i got:
Blue irk bag
White robe, not my size (we’ll see if my son wants it)
Charcoal gray king sized bamboo sheets (which Will fit well enough on my tall queen mattress)
A scary whip jump rope (“barbarian”)
A uv sanitizer wand
A pink and gold travel bag (looks like a giant makeup bag…maybe a giveaway).
I have yet to get a complete dud irk, I keep thinking it’s going to be my turn soon…
Shipment being delayed seems to be a sign of luck in these bad boys. It’s either something amazing, or trash. Wish me luck
1:
@joshua7kim
I’m in the same boat.
Good luck and Godspeed.
The shipping suggested I wouldn’t see this until 2021, but it surprised my on my doorstep today. There were two pieces of clothing, labeled “XL”, but apparently the top was very inappropriate for a woman, or still not XL even for a kid because my 12 year old tried it (and the jacket, and the glasses) on to model them for Meh:
Additionally, there was a S/M robe. We got one in the last IRK (also claimed by the daughter,) so my eldest has claimed it to regift to a friend of her that she is pretty sure will fit into it.
There were two pairs of BluVue glasses, one 0.0, one 2.5, both of which were hits with my 8 year old. Also, all of my kids look great in glasses, though my younger two do not need them.
The requisite Meh bag matches my last one.
The Network Cord looks great, and though I have a bag of them and don’t need it, this is the nicest looking one I have.
Also, a 12-piece, 6 knife set I have drooled over on Meh over and over!
We have a bigger set, in a chopping block, so I can’t use it, and my eldest has an huge set from her culinary schooling, so we do not need them anywhere so we’ll regift them, but they are so pretty!
@LexPendragon What a good sport your daughter is! Love her hair color!
@LexPendragon
I got the same jacket and size in a blueish grey color. Yeah XL is not the correct size for it.
@LexPendragon @Star2236 I love that jacket SO much, I love the style and that fabric is so soft and comfy! You guys lucked out, great score!! What a team player you have there, hope your daughter gets points from Santa!
@LexPendragon @Lynnerizer
If my sister doesn’t want it I was gonna throw it in the donation bin. If you wanna pay for shipping you could possibly have it. I’ll see her Xmas eve and find out.
Regret achieved. 4x weird mugs (intact), 1x blue IRK bag. Family’s getting mugged for Christmas!
@sjdomi2 I got the exact same thing, but one of the mugs was brown.
I’m not sure how to regret this IRK.
Mehrry Meh’smuss.
-Blue IRK bag
-Not-yet-folded cover for a box for blood orange reed diffuser.
-Pack of 5in1 Fryer Filter Pack
-Rocket RC Levicopter
-Much regret
@swhall05 Exact same IRK for me too. I share in your regret.
@mehgrl and even more regretful is that the rocket copter neither rockets, nor does it copter.
Mine arrived this morning, mostly regretted.
Thanks, Meh.
If anyone needs the fryer filters, let me know.
All in all, a very Meh IRK.
Thanks for the surprise! It’s such a blast to get one of these.
@eggsterminate Pretty print on the comforter! Good score!
@Lynnerizer Thanks! It actually goes perfectly with the wall color in our guest room, so I agree - definitely a score!
Well, this was a weird one, but I see many of you above received almost identical boxes.
Contents are:
Opening the wrapped packaged revealed:
It has been charging for a while and still won’t turn on, so it looks like it might be a dud.
Had fun playing the IRK game. Not much I can use but they could go as gifts to family and friends. I’d still do it again.
This was a winner in my book!
Makes up for the last one I got that was literally a box of trash - parts for obscure discontinued drones and wine stopper kits. Wife gets earrings. Sister gets handbag. I get a new mug. The curtain can be a dropcloth for painting. The keychain can…I don’t know, go in a drawer somewhere. And now I get to play laser tag with my wife and kids at christmas. I’m honestly pretty stoked.
2x - umbrella
2x - lid for food storage container
5x - stone facial massage rollers (yes! 5 of them)
1x - hose attachement for vacuum cleaner
1x - 3 pack diffuser filter
1x - navy blue IRK bag
I will definitely make use of the umbrellas. Not so sure about the other items.
IRK received today. 10-pack of KN95 masks, a jar of skin cream, a SpaLife Facial Mask, A COVID door hook and an IRK Tote bag.
Arrived a day late and I’m not complaining. Got:
1x Hedgren women’s backpack
1x 8th grade common core math
2x Luminara candles (different sizes and scents)
1x Irk bag
I love getting different things than the “regular” items! It seems to me that Meh has been doing a LOT better job recently taking the initiative to do that! Thanks Meh!!
blue irk bag
king size microfiber sheet set
wearable camera
bluetooth selfie set
waterproof ear buds
incredibly pink gold watch set
damn good haul for $5
Dear Gods of Meh, may I get one of these awesome Meh kits above and no mugs. Amen.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
Received my IRK today, and there isn’t too much regret for $5.
Navy Blue Irk bag (looks black in the pic)
Jonathan Adler Peel&Stick Wall Art (not too awful of a design and made in the USA!)
Sonic Facial Cleansing and Exfoliating set (USB rechargeable which is always a plus)
Nanette Lepore Logo Mini Bag/Backpack (will use or gift to someone)
2 blue Asobu mugs (to add to the previous one I received…bonus - NOT BROKEN! One more and I’ll have a set all in blue)
Not too shabby…thanks, Meh!
A little something for everyone!
1x Blue IRK Bag (groceries will be blanketed in luxury)
1x L’Oreal Revitalift, Anti-wrinkle + Firming, Night Moisturizer (box open, safety seal intact, will be a gameday decision)
1x Kathy Ireland Home Twin Sheet Set (will be going to a charity in need)
1x Pink Clawz (niece loved them)
1x Food Huggers: The Complete Farberware Anthology (yay, less food waste!)
1x Crab Stick* AirPods
…if it looks like a crab, and tastes like a crab, then it’s probably crab stick.
@potestasx I’ve got those crab stick airpods, and the analogy continues because they’re not awful. (I like california rolls!)
One of the sets we got even has the lightning connector to charge with.
@djslack I stuck the crab sticks in my ears and they sound pretty good! These are the micro USB variant. Can’t seem to shake that connector.
My IRK was just delivered and it is HEAVY. Turns out the weight is due to 23x4ea pkgs of Superman birthday in a bag gift bags. Complete with birthday cards and tissue paper. 92 of these babies. Also, the IRK bag in red. A compact magnifying mirror/charger, another charger, and some light up putty.
@AnnaB I remember some one got 108 of those. Looks like they had 200 and divides among you guys.
4 mugs survived and we’re happy about it. Our standard is low…
Happy holidays and a merry IRK-mas! Here’s my haul this time 'round:
The Smart Stand is getting some Christmas stocking love and the speaker is going to get some regular bathroom use. Grateful for this edition’s haul for sure.
Merry IRKmas! Best IRK haul yet:
1 mustard yellow Michael Kohrs shoulder purse
1 “deluxe” bathrobe
6 hydrating masks (also “deluxe”)
1 Bluetooth headphones
1 blue light reflecting glasses (tortoise colored frames—not bad looking actually)!
1 (not broken) coffee mug
1 blue IRK bag
Thanks, Meh!
I’m going to try the “complain about delivery issues and it magically shows up” strategy. Looks like it’s driving around the block at FedEx.
@opivp99 I imagine it doing this right in front of the scanner
@opivp99 That’s exactly what mine was doing
@placecm
Build a fort out of couch cushions and use that lunch bag to have a picnic in an exotic medieval castle location.
@PocketBrain that sounds like an epic idea! Perfect for the holiday season!
@GzBiH you got a pressure cooker! That’s awesome. Just bough an r2d2 one. Love it. As long as that works, seems like an irk win!
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
@GzBiH @placecm I never wanted a pressure cooker then I got one in an irk. I can go from frozen chicken to chicken tacos in under a half hour. I love it.
@placecm
A camera doorbell, nice!
@placecm @Star2236
Yes to the camera doorbell and I have a condo! You scored great with this irk!
@placecm it works great! Last night, Christmas Eve, made boneless turkey in it. I’m so, so happy! Thank you @meh Merry Christmas everyone!
My bag came with:
An Air Fryer
Sunglasses
A solar powered pool fountain
And what appears to be a faux leather pouch of stuffing

@smigit2002 I now have a mother and son/daughter
Along with 2 life jackets, a libratone speaker, wireless head phone, and claw shoes.
@sammydog01 I traded smigit2002 for the small one and the large one arrived today! Meet Burnadette
@jml326 I’m so glad they were reunited! Great score! Yours did make the Macabre Museum.
@sammydog01 Wait what? The Macabre Museum?
@jml326
https://meh.com/forum/topics/welcome-to-mehs-macabre-museum
@sammydog01 Never mind I see now Macabre Museum
Well @KoolHandJoe They are back together again!
@jml326
That is utterly amazing. Congrats my friend, Meh-rry X-Mas to you and your new family!
@jml326 Family belongs together during the holidays… glad they both found a good home
@jml326 That’s unbelievably fantastic, I’m so glad they’ve found each other once again, and a great home!
I received mine today: Navy irk bag, 2x blue asobu mug [broken], an envelope of five in one fryer filters, one each red and silver color motion control rockets.
I am thankful to the folks in the warehouse who must be busting their backs to get this stuff to us! Shipping time has hardly ever been a problem for me - if anything, they’re moving IRKs at record speed these days.
This is the second shipment I’ve received recently with broken goods and no Texas bags of air. Customer service refunded my first purchase ('cause they’re awesome), but I lament that a simple fix would have saved my purchase.
Does the umbrella of protection for mediocrity extend to packaging the goods as well? Because that step can take intact mediocre products and produce broken mediocre products that end up going straight to the trash. Do different/nonexistent packing standards apply to IRKs, so they get a free pass?
[sidebar] Normally I’m not such a damned whiner. I’m on day 7 of my COVID journey and I am cranky and fevered. I know I’m going to catch it in the comments, but please be gentle.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@Jasongb Whine away, you have a good excuse.
@Jasongb Hope you have full recovery.
An original Shirt Butler box showed up at my door on Sunday. Then I get a email that says my IRK was delivered.
I guess that was it?..
Nothing else but even a bag
@Kimbob252 You opened the box and fished around inside, right?
@sammydog01
Yep nothing else in there. Was a hole, but no big enough for anything to fall out of. Oh well. The shirt butler works pretty well. Takes the wrinkles out!
Man I was excited to get a silicone clip on strainer for cooking in my irk. I guess I was lucky enough not to get an irk with broken mugs and air frier filters. One day will be our turn.
1 blue IRK bag
20 K95 masks
1 DIY sparkle goop
1 open box of 12 count Kind bars, 9 bars in box
(ate one bar and they taste perfectly ‘meh’)
So much regret!
And that was it. Nothing inside the roller, but that’s ok! Def got my $5 worth!!
Very satisfied.
Kids have been having a blast riding the machine for 2 hours giving me and the wife some peace and quiet.
Thanks Meh!!
1 blue IRK bag
4 mugs - 1 is broken
meh
1 mask
1 wireless earbuds
1 purse with a light inside (doubles as my irk bag since none was included)
1 box of five solar motion lights
1 Ginsu Chikara 8 Pc knives set with toffee block
Thanks meh!
Arrived today.
Red Irk bag.
2 power banks
~ 96 Man of Steel Birthday in a bags. At a loss for words…any ideas what to do with these?
@EthelTheFrog I keep saying wallpaper but no one ever does it.
@EthelTheFrog have you wrapped your christmas presents yet???
I believe someone mentioned donating to an org like the Ronald McDonald House
@EthelTheFrog - I donated my case of 102 of these to a local elementary school. The teachers send packets of schoolwork to the kids at home all the time, so they were quickly used up and everyone loved them.
Blue bag
Piece of cardboard box
Random coffee filter
Fryer filters
Broken drone
The excitement and waiting, that’s what you pay the $5 for… right?
@opivp99 That’s the same I got.
I got a pretty large but remarkably empty box. A small pack of “Ron Popeil’s 5in1 Fryer Filters”, the unfolded (and seemingly never sealed, by the unused adhesive strip) box for a blood orange reed diffuser, a small drone, the fourth volume of a comic I’ve never heard of “Mind the Gap”, and… a fuko bag? I guess they must’ve had a couple still lying around? I’m still baffled at why I had such a big box when the biggest thing in it was an envelope full of fryer filters.
Meh-ry Christmas! I got:
*red irk bag
*flip micro drone in blue
*orange mug, not broken
*L/XL copper care compression back brace
*Motorola H730 Bluetooth headset, that is mildly comfortable to wear, but unfortunately does not play audio, only connects for calls. So I cant listen to music thru it.
Had this one sent to my son. I texted a lot of preparation for disappointment, but in the end it wasn’t necessary. Thank you meh.
@kdemo I got that microwaveable lavender neck thing. I should give it a try.
@sammydog01 - If I got it, I would definitely try it. My feet get cold in bed, then later they get hot. What’s up with that?
I could use two - one nuked, and one frozen.
The Clawz are far too small for an 8-yr old. Also it’s funny to see that face roller on a perfect little 8-yo freckled face.
My expectation was very low… So I was happy what I received. This time at least asobu mugs are one piece.
*3 asobu mug
*2 cardboard box
*1 IRK bag
Thanks Meh.
1 very tenderized shipping box
1 blue irk bag
4 broken mugs
@jdcxxx
With so many broken mugs I wonder if their broken before they ship or if during shipping? If meh is sending out broken mugs w/out checking that’s pretty crappy.
First IRK, very little regret!
Yay so much regret…
1 x meh blue bag
1 x wall pops wall art (flowers)
3 x asobu mugs blue
Big win…
1 x ella jayne weighted anti-anxiety blanket 15lbs.
Thanks meh! Merry Chrimbo!!
My IRK arrived in an air fryer box…gee whiz, what could be inside?
1-air fryer, powers on, SCORE!
1-recipe book for air fryer
1-wireless charging pad iWalk brand, (iNever heard of it either)
1-Angelina s/m navy colored something in a bag
1-IRK bag red
1-IRK bag black (2 BAGS!?! MIND BLOWN!)
1-Bowers & Wilkins P3 Series headphones really nice, but the cable has fine wires. I thought that’s going to be a weak spot. Pugged them in and only heard the right side. Each ear cup is plugged in individually so I swapped them. If I heard the right side again, the headphones are bad, if I heard the left side, the cable is bad. It was the $14 cable and not the $200 headphones. Yeah, that’s right, they sell these things for $200 bucks and they don’t even have Bluetooth! Another SCORE!
@Kyser_Soze I bought a new cable from Bowers & Wilkins. I see on ebay that there are cables that turn these into bluetooth headsets for $25. Maybe some time in the future. Shit, how did meh know that I have a thing for headphones? I have 5 by my laptop right now and another half dozen in my office upstairs! I didn’t NEED these or NEED to spend the money on a cable to make them work, but I think they look cool! My wife just rolled her eyes when I showed them to her. I gave her some ear buds with gems from an IRK a few months back and she’s never used them! Point is, this was $5 well spent! THANKS MEH! AWESOME!
/giphy awesome
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
@mediocrebot You’re darn tootin’ partner!

Received my IRK today. One blue IRK bag, 3 intact blue mugs (which were promptly wrapped for Christmas gifts for the brother in-law, since he’s house shopping), and one blue mug with a shattered handle. Meh.
My IRK arrived two days early and made me very happy.
Pictures of all but one of the items inside have already been posted: Verbena diffuser packaging sheet, 5 in 1 fryer filters, red throwback Fuko bag, and a very nice 10" Cuisinart skillet (something I can really use).
The final item was a bundle of 20 DC comics dating from 1987 to 2013. There was a lot of variety in the comics and I will read them all this week. For anyone who’s interested, they’re listed below. But this is my favorite, quite timely.

The Shade #1, 12/2011
Swamp Thing #19, 6/2013
All Star Western #2/#3/#4, 12/2011-2/2012 (set in Gotham)
Xombi #0, 1/1994
Outsiders #6, 1/2004
Rann-Thanagar War #3, 9/2005
Justice Society of America #21, 1/2009
World’s Finest #6, 1/2013
Talon #0, 11/2012

Zero Hour #0, 9/1994
Thanks, Meh. The comics really made my holidays. (That and finding out my HBO subscription allows me to watch Doom Patrol on HBO Max.)
I only got one thing (other than the bag) but it was something that I actually wanted! Merry Christmas to me! I’m not sure what to do now that I got something in my IRK that doesn’t go straight from the box to the trash.
@kuntzandrew I got same one! It’s great!! You’ll love it
@kuntzandrew nice! I actually bought mine and love it (first pressure cooker). Actually I bought a second one as backup during the blank Friday sale since I like it that much lol.
First thing I made in it was a keto version of an Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana copycat soup… It was so easy and quick and honestly came out delicious!
Could be worse, thanks Meh!
Seriously Meh, what the hell?
A blue IRK bag
2 motion control rockets
2 5in1 Fryer Filter Packs (does anyone know what these are or wants them?)
AND most bewildering of all…
Instructions to a fragrance diffuser. (Anyone missing this who needs it?)
I guess Meh Santa decided I deserved a lump of coal this year.
@mehgrl Can someone who received and opened the motion control rocket post what it looks like? I want to gift it to someone but I need to make sure it isn’t too hard for a kid to use.
@mehgrl it’s the kind that hovers over your hand, so it’s pretty simple. You may want to open it and make sure it works and have to rewrap it, better than gifting a dud. They have a reputation for not working.
@djslack @mehgrl I’ve had 2 and neither would hold a charge. The IRK before this I got 4 and haven’t gotten around to open and test them, I’m guessing they will be failures too.
FedEx delivered it to a neighbor’s house on the 19th. I just went on a walk and had to burgle my own package in order to get it. If I knew any small people this would be a nice haul. Thanks Meh.
@zachhh Small person, reporting for duty!
@eggsterminate if you want to move in, I have an extra room. No discount for smaller people but it comes with a robe, some socks, fidget spinners sand a speaker dock.
@zachhh my husband might be a bit grumpy with me, but that fidget spinner offer is mighty tempting…
My IRK came on the 19th, but I saved it for Xmas. Opened it today.
I am impressed. Probably the best IRK I’ve ever received. Merry Christmas!
@medonsw
/giphy FLUFFY
@medonsw
You have to be a good sport and model the unicorn onesie for us.
-Cuisinart pasta pot
-Fuku Bukuro bag (I wasn’t around during FB days, but I understand they were pretty special.)
-3 comics
-Fryer filters
-Unassembled diffuser box
@Cbyler that pasta pot is the real haul. Also now I’m curious about the comic book. I wonder how meh got so many? And they didn’t give anyone the complete set! Man I hope that’s just a twisted marketing ploy by an insure PR agent.
Good score on the bag.
@zachhh Since I have about 3 years worth of pasta from a previous Pasta Drop (may it rest in peace), the pasta pot was a real winner!
@zachhh i got about 20 of them inside the xbox box of my irk. I think they may have hit up the free bins at 2nd and Charles to get those and all the random books i got and wound up with some extras to give out.
-Red Face Mask
-Trackr Pixel (seems to work)
-Bluetooth speaker/battery bank
-Wireless charging pad w/ built in clock
-Libratone zipp speakers, works pretty well.
@thardesty good haul
I hope this is the right thread. Received our IRK a few days ago, and the contents are shockingly useful!
1 x blue irk bag
3 x umbrella
3 x cuissinart pans
1 x face roller
@FrostByte with the exception of a few boxes of broken mugs, these haven’t lived up to their namesake.
@FrostByte those upside down umbrellas are pretty great! And the cuisinart pans look nice too.
@FrostByte bought one of those wind resistant umbrellas. Be careful they can take you away like Mary Poppins instead of going inside out.
A blue IRK bag.
5-in-1 Fryer Filters.
Un-assembled diffuser box.
Unbroken mug.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I’ve definitely won more than not and you can’t win them all!
@tinkertime Did you feel instant regret? At least there was a mug. Better than a box of four broken mugs I think.
My worst was a bag and 8 Monster Cable Brand printer cables. But at least I know I’ll never need to buy that particular USB cable again.
@tinkertime @zachhh I got four mugs so I should probably open them to see if they’re broken. I feel like I keep getting the duds. Last time was three power banks that barely worked. How is everyone else getting such variety?
@jplennox @zachhh I actually didn’t feel instant regret, though that is supposed to be the point. It’s worth the $5 for the anticipation even if the outcome is meh. My very first was part of the kickstart or site launch and it was really regrettable, but my best had a Shark robot which gets used weekly. As for those mugs, I think this was the 3rd or 4th one I’ve received and they have all successfully made it to me. I know what you mean about the power banks, I bought a few that don’t hold much of a charge.
@tinkertime Not sure how many good IRKs you have to get to cancel out all the bad ones, but the one I got this time will cover a multitude of bad ones for the foreseeable future-especially when it was the best one sent out this time by a mile.
@Felton10 yeah, I’m still totally not jealous. At all. Really.
If I keep telling myself this it will become true, right?
@djslack If it doesn’t work and I sent it to my son-do either of those make you feel better?
@Felton10 haha no, I’m just messing with you. Mostly.
You probably got the opposite feeling of what I had, like what the hell is this thing? Followed by realization of what it was and increased appreciation. I had a few minutes of the NO FREAKIN’ WAY joy of a twelve year old on Christmas morning, followed by the best laugh in months. They got me good, so I actually had a great experience. It would only be better if it was on video. And I choose to believe it was a targeted gag so I can feel extra special about being messed with
I hope it works flawlessly and your son enjoys it tremendously. May your fortunes continue to be this good in the new year!
@djslack I know you were joking mostly and you hit the nail on the head-I said what in the hell is this thing when I unwrapped it. But then after I looked on the back-goggled it and sent a pic to my son who said it looked like the real thing and he would pay the postage if I sent it to him (which I did). My daughter wanted it also but to sell it, but I told her the person who wanted to use it get first dibbs. Since he had two previous versions of the x-box and close to 100 games-the choice who to give it to was obvious. He gets it tomorrow so stay turned.
The thing I couldn’t believe is that they would send something so current possibly worth so much. Guess if you only send one out you can afford to send out something like this.
Thanks for your good wishes and same to you for the new year-this has all been a year we would all like to forget.
I picked up my IRK today. I got:
1 IRK bag
1 Garland Grommet Panel (note on the window picture on the label says: “To achieve this look use 2 grommet panels, each sold separately.”)
1 white robe size S/M
1 Libratone Zipp smart wireless speaker…came inside a box with a shipping label to: Returns Department/Side Deal Returns… and included the return address of the customer who shipped the return.
I will probably donate the robe and grommet panel to the Hospice Thrift Store. The bag (and box) will probably go to a neighbor who just lost his house to a fire just before Christmas and is staying with a neighbor temporarily. (Robe won’t fit him.)
I was doubtful but surprised that after a few attempts, I got the speaker connected to my phone and it sounds pretty good. I hoped to do a Bluetooth connection to the phone and then cast a Netflix movie to the TV, using the speaker for sound but that doesn’t seem to work. But at least I have a nice speaker for music. As long as that speaker keeps working, no regrets here.
I’m new here how to find out when the irk sale is next
@ginnyill luck. Good or bad luck but luck. Often on mehrathons
Basically meh sells 1 wierd thing a day and on occasion will sell lots of wierd things for random amounts of time. Irks sell out in approximately 30 seconds
@CaptAmehrican more like 5 seconds
I forgot to post what I got, so…
1 blue Irk bag (yay for blue).
1 surprisingly nice curtain panel.
1 women’s leggings.
6 pair of men’s Prince socks - I can totally use these.
1 real wax pine cone shaped battery operated candle - It’s actually kind of nice.
But most importantly…
I got a hippopotamus for Christmas!!!
