Pre Thanksgiving Side Deal IRK reveal.
21First!
Woah! Definitely worth it this time! Three piece luggage set and navy and pink irk bag. This is how it showed up. Which I guess shows the durability of the luggage since it survived Fedex’s abuses. Granted it only traveled about 15 miles. My sister wants luggage for Christmas but is picky about the color. I hope I can convince her on navy. Thanks Side Deal!

@ironcheftoni I’m sure those will fit nicely inside the near-matching bag.
@ironcheftoni really nice!!!
@ironcheftoni
Way to go!
@ironcheftoni sweet! That’s what I’ve been coveting! Hope they have more than one!
@ironcheftoni Oh, I love that color combination on the bag, hope I get it!
@ironcheftoni I got the EXACT 3 piece luggage set in black and the purple and pink IRK bag!!!
THANKS Meh!!
Of course I didn’t play this time, lol
@Star2236 me either
but then again, i don’t need luggage
or a blender
or a food processor
or an air fryer
well you get it
@Cerridwyn
Well I could use an air fryer lol
@Cerridwyn @Star2236 I would be happy to get any of those items. I’ve never got anything as cool as one of those things in a my of my irks
@Cerridwyn @OnionSoup @Star2236 Same here. I played a couple times early on in my Meh career, and was instructed to quit spending money on that junk.
In increasing prices made it a little easier to agree with her on that.
(Ultimately, got a few things that could be used, but nothing that was needed or even quite “oh hey, that looks fun!”)
@Cerridwyn @Star2236 How about deluxe facemasks?
@Cerridwyn @OnionSoup @Star2236 I got a few really nice things after my Mehtoo, which I suspect happened because people were sympathetic I actually got tattooed for junk.
I’ve passed a lot of things on to friends… including by accidentally not resetting my mailing address. That was apparently a very nice IRK! (They had a new baby and a whole lot of expenses, and the resale was a nice boost.)
But nothing has beat the hilarious drama of the PastaBox.
@brainmist @OnionSoup @Star2236
best thing I got was from that time they gave random free ones in addition to the ones offered,
the free one netted me a Ninja blender system that was and still is major awesome.
pastadrop was fun and excessive and just what we needed then.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
Mine is in transit until tomorrow - but it did enter and leave my state while in transit. I can only assume it too is also lost luggage.
@user71555389 Mine says it arrived an hour from now into the future at a location in my state. Didn’t know they had a time machine
@Kidsandliz @user71555389 The surprising thing is that this is what they decide to use it for.
@Kidsandliz @mossygreen @user71555389 in comic series “the Dragon, the Hero, and the Courier” (the hyperbolic mundane tales of a glamorized history of starting a postal service), the government has secret time machines to “fix” anachronistic slips caused by the main characters (because the author forgets it’s a medieval fantasy setting sometimes). Unfortunately the fixes tend to have unintended side effects (like creating Italian pasta dishes centuries earlier also introduced fire-breathing moles).
@user71555389 HAHAHA mine now says it will be delivered on Friday, but on the detailed listing it says it will be delivered by the end of the day TODAY (it is now 10:28pm my time and today is Thursday). It hasn’t even arrived in my city yet. I guess their time travel machine is having a malfunction or something.
@Kidsandliz @user71555389 If they have a time machine, it’s in an IRK, it’s broken, and it’s probably full of dirty socks.
@brainmist @user71555389 Well my irk arrived. No broken time machine was in there but otherwise what was in there was the equivalent of dirty socks full of holes.
FedEx delivered today which was surprising.
-Some KN95 masks
-Pair of mukluk boots
-Irk bag
-Thomas Kincaid fake Xmas candle that has been used. (Batteries pre installed)
Worst $30 Irk ever. Still haven’t got my $5 hot sauce…even with the $15 discount, not sure the sauce and this Irk are actually worth $ 20 total.
/giphy meh-face
@medz I like your cat but not so much the IRK.
@EdgarAllenPope @medz would buy again just for the cat.
@medz
Is wear the boots
@Star2236 theys too small
@medz
What size?
@Star2236 tag inside says:
Size 6.5
@medz
Not my size either. Those are pretty small.
@medz @Star2236 That’s my size. I got size 10. Want to trade?
@milstarr whisper me your shipping address if you really want them
@medz @Star2236 LOL, that’s my size!
I did get shoes my size once.
In the IRK I accidentally sent to a friend a thousand miles away.
I’m an IRK virgin, so first time doing this. How long does it take to get the $15 discount? I just checked the card I used and was charged $30 for the IRK (And I did make a Meh-rathon purchase.) Wasnt sure if they charged the $30 originally and then refunded $15 after the fact, or if I just got screwed on this deal.
@burtburt69 they charge and later refund. The time it takes varies.
I’ve always gotten the refunds, although I seem to remember it could be more in the range of a couple weeks for them to show up on my card.
Darn it meh…I said last month that I was done with the irk’s… however the fomo was too much to resist. This time I mean it I’m done done and won’t be coming back… probably.
I know we aren’t supposed to expect anything good and all that bs. However if they want to send out garbage then go back to the $5 irk because spending $30 on this
is not worth it!
Good luck with everyone else’s irk’s and the future ones you get suckered into!
@thecloudy1 Here’s to hoping your parents dont dry up!
@thecloudy1 you can add some distilled water to the pet wipes to rehydrate them.
@ironcheftoni thank you for the tip!
@burtburt69
@thecloudy1 I got similar
It may be my last one. The one precious was similarly … expired except for a hair removal laser thing
@thecloudy1 the expired wipes are actually great to dust the house with!
@thecloudy1 This was mine (minus massage slippers), but I’m always covered in dog fur, I’m basically absent melanin, and I have a store that requires masking and likes to have cheap throw-aways, so honestly, this is a very basic but surprisingly useful IRK.
Got the exact same IRK as you did! Except my masks are “Air Police 4” masks. I’m done with these crappy IRKS. ![enter image description here][1]
[1]:
Got my irk. I’m kind of disappointed but I guess they all can’t be winners.
Expired by years hand sanitizer
Expired by years face masks
New, unused, “Slippers” that you are supposed to attach to a machine where they then massage your feet but I don’t have the machine nor the cord so also garbage/unusable. Amaon says “Slippers Massage Shoes for Most Snap on Massagers. Will Work on Iq, Hi Dow, Eliking, Ismart, and Pinook Snap Units.”
ALL TRASH - literal garbage or unusable since missing anything that makes it useable.
If someone has the machine they were designed for and wants them for postage they are yours (pirate shipping, goes UPS but is far cheaper). These are called IQ massager slippers ($12 on amazon) and apparently are one size fits all (which of course means one size fits almost no one). They are 10.5 inches long.
One nice colored irk bag.
Of the last 3 irks 2 have been trash and 1 was a typical irk (in that while not usable to me most of the stuff would be useable by others - eg nothing broken, nothing expired, nothing missing pieces thus an average irk so not complaining about that one). Two irks ago one item only and that was busted in to pieces and the irk bag. This one was total garbage plus an irk bag. I guess expired hand sanitizer and masks are the new trackrs (although I might have spoken too soon as someone might still get some this time around).
@Kidsandliz I got the same one and hadn’t found out yet that the slippers aren’t even usable. I’ll throw the lotion and wipes in the car and donate the rest
I got lots of masks, 2 fur rollers, and the bag.
https://imgur.com/a/BHiDDY8
And apparently I can’t figure out how to properly post the pic.
@user71555389 I like the quilt in the background. Did someone in your house make that?
@Kidsandliz no quilt in pic - maybe the triangles from the cat tunnel…? Which is up against a room divider that has a photo print of times squares.
@user71555389 Well that would make a nice quilt with the colored triangles.
I’ve had a few minutes to let it sink in.
I’m pretty sure God hates me.
@user71555389 Wrong 3-letter word. The correct word is M-E-H who hates you!
Assume this is mine. Normally if I get something this large it has other products stuffed inside but it was shredded open in transit. Nothing else in the box. FedEx even taped a piece of cardboard over this area.
@airjer OK so that is the same piece of shit I got two irks ago. Totally broken/shattered, missing most of the parts (I see you at least have the remote, mine didn’t have that either), and nothing else in the box except an irk bag. As a result it looks like you are only out an irk bag (you can contact support and tell them you didn’t get an irk bag).
If the box was empty (doesn’t sound like it was so you will be out of luck with that as you got something even if it is broken - maybe yours won’t be) tell support.
@airjer @Kidsandliz If the vibration plates DOES work and you don’t want it, definitely try to sell it - they go for a lot!
@airjer @Kidsandliz @Kyeh I got one of these, also in a beat up box, but in perfect condition, around 1-2 years ago. I like it now more than I did before I opened it.
Got my irk. Muk luks size 10, Motorola ROKR 500 blue Bluetooth speaker, pet wipes, and navy blue irk bag with pink graphic. Sadly no luggage.
2 pks of masks, will use as particle masks for sanding
1 tube spf70 sunscreen, will find a use
Hand sanitizer, always a bottle in my truck
Conair heated hairbrush, bottom 1/3 of box crushed, I’m an old man with little hair, so will donate
6 bottles of glitter paint, will donate
Pair of massage sandals, already have a pair from a previous IRK
Pet wipes, always useful
Flex light, plugs into charger block or battery bank, also already have, will give away
Royal purple and gold MEH bag, best part of this IRK
Pretty Meh IRK, but kind of expected when they sold something many this last time!
Thanks Sidedeal
I don’t know why I assumed there would be some sort of even distribution of items. Like I literally got 12 useless face masks and 2 lint rollers. Someone looked at the box going to me and said “yup, that is equitable and good” and sealed it shut. Screw those people. Same for the expired stuff. Expired sunscreen is actually dangerous because of the carcinogenic compounds it produces as the chemical degrade. So, screw meh.
And I just want to point out this is too of mind because last week I was stressed out trying to make sure bags of groceries for the homeless were equitable and fair. So before anyone comes for me for being mad about my IRK go serve in a homeless shelter and suck my ass.
@user71555389 Irks used to be better, and more evenly distributed with what is in them and not so many with just literal trash. Now many of them are just giant trashcans where we are paying meh to get rid of their literal garbage. It’s sad to see this decline. In my opinion no irk should be only trash of expired and broken shit. Sure throw in one piece of that crap, but not how it has been going where that is all some people get. They should sell less of them if they don’t have enough “good stuff” (eg at least donate-able things even if we don’t personally want the things) they want to get rid of to distribute across all the boxes.
@user71555389 You must be new… But at least now you understand why meh tells you not to buy it.
/giphy cheer up sucker
@user71555389
I take it the math has something to do with assuming a spherical cow.
@Kidsandliz @user71555389 I’m feeling it too. Most of my recent IRKs aside from one were basically garbage. And many of them cost $15 or more. Meanwhile the BoCs I win are consistently decent, and sometimes even epic.
It used to be the other way around, but most companies decline in service quality as they grow. Meh is still a net positive shopping experience/community, though. The customer service and community engagement are still great. If/when those start to decline as well, that will be the time to worry.
@Kidsandliz @user71555389
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @user71555389 I got a blank IRK bag and forgot to whine about it.
Actually I figure it’s a rare collectible edition, probably worth millions.
@blaineg @Kyeh @user71555389
Duct tape a banana to it and you are good to go for the millions.
I can’t even donate this shit.
@user71555389 Same for.mine this time. All expired plus 2 pairs of massage slippers that don’t really work with anything. Oh well - I have gotten things worth having or donating in previous IRKs, so will dispose of this without any more whining.
And I just realized I used a card to pay that’s real good about chargebacks. Life being not fair goes both ways. Enjoy the loss meh.
@user71555389 You got exactly what you were promised. Nobody likes a sore loser.
@blaineg I would love to see the credit card’s response when they send in the link to the irk they bought.
I received:
Blue/Magenta IRK bag - can never have enough of these!
2 - 7 packs of Air Police face masks
3 month supply of Minoxidil Topical Aerosol for men
12 pack of a beautiful green color washclothes
Pack of pet wipes
In all, everything is useful for someone, if not all being useful to me. I call it a win!
7 face masks
packet of pet wipes
Irk bag.
For sure not worth the $15 dollars, but that is what you get for gambling.
IRK bag
Copper Chef Titan 10-pc cookware set
I got pet wipes (actually so happy for those because my dogs love to get their feet muddy), weird-looking hand sanitizers and what I am guessing is a broken, returned dash cam (I’m still going to attempt to set it up, but I’m not holding out much hope. maybe a little hope though). Plus a 2xl tank top and a nice irk bag. We have a plastic bag ban where I live, so those always get used!
@costar check that expiration date tho
Shock!
Huge box with Dyson Pure Cool Purifying Fan TP7C & lovely purple with gold print bag! Saw the Dyson is selling for $350 at Cosco. Too busy to try setting up right now. Has a few finger prints but seems to have original wrapping.
/giphy Shock!
@fjp999
That’s awesome. Hopefully it works.
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
@Star2236 Thanks. Will try to remember to update. If it had the heat/cool function would have probably already had it up and running. Real Feel temp will be 3F tonite!
@Star2236 100% WORKS!
SHOCK!
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
Not worthy of a photo.
2 packages of expired pet wipes
2 bottles of expired hand sanitizer
Bunch of expired protective face masks
One purple and pink IRK bag, no expiration date.
Huge today!
3 packs of kn95 masks.
Pet wipes.
3 meh silicone bracelets.
A bottle of hand sanitizer.
And get this: a shark robot vacuum! (And it works)
@bhorldt
Very nice.
Haven’t bought one for a while. Should have waited longer.
Navy and pink bag
2 pet hair removers (too big and bulky)
Pet wipes (will use)
Masks (can hang out with the others in the closet)
Old sunscreen
Toddler smart bars (no toddlers around)
Mine was supposed to arrive yesterday. Hopefully, I will receive today
My husband left the light on in our 4-runner and the battery died. I remembered the TACKlife battery jumper I received in one of my IRK’s months ago. He used it on the truck and it worked Perfectly! Thanks Meh
Whatever arrives hopefully today, I will greatly appreciate because of all of the useful items we have received it the past. Thanks again
@pattyrusk1 I’m in total shock! I received a 3-piece black Olympia luggage set and a purple/pink IRK bag! My husband thought it was something I purchased on a Black Friday sale. He was kinda right, but it was a pre-Black Friday sale. I think it’s a sign that we need to go on a trip! Thanks Meh
navy/pink irk bag, 3 rubber meh bracelets, 1 hand sanitizer and 30 or so masks for the bird flu or whatever else djt and rfkj bring down upon us, 6 months ago expired pet wipes (butt they taste fine to me), 1 returned-by-mr. d shah of lake zurich illinois hugolo bluetooth door lock which might or might not work or miss parts so no sane person would do anything with it except throw it away(or leave it for an enemy to find, sadly i have none).
there was something else which my daughter grabbed but i don’t remember what it was and don’t wanna wake her. it must’ve been ok enough for her to want it but nothing memorable(obviously). oh wait, yeah, it was a box of 3 fancy darts, the type you bring to the pub and assemble in front of everyone so as to intimidate them. they’re probably the prize of my irk but again sadly, I don’t have any enemies or even a cat.
@room902 I mean, someone would have to be stalking you pretty closely to know about the door lock…
@brainmist I’m not worried about that but the screws, clips etc. were loose and scattered. The time and trouble to install it without knowing if i have a complete, working product is the issue. If you’d like it I can send it to… ah, too late, they picked up my garbage cans. :-0
My IRK was similar to everyone’s disappointments.
1 Pet hair remover
3 packages of face masks
1 package pet wipes
1 cell phone stand (just a stand no charger)
1 small package of expiring smart? bars.
May be worth $15, but not to me. And plus it will take me a while to try and give this junk away to people.
When will I ever learn?
Not the Dyson but my irk was this hepa air purifier. Also the purple and gold bag. Totally worth the $15. Added plus is the replacement filters are currently on sale as a cyber Monday deal. Me, my COPD, and my beagle are pleased. Thanks meh (and side deal).
@steeltoesenator Congrats!
@steeltoesenator Hope it works!
@Kidsandliz it does! Quieter than I expected too.
Got mine today, very meh. Not worth a pic or the $15. Oh well.
@tinamarie1974 Not even a description?
@Kyeh I can do that
1 box of face masks
1 bottle of expired SPF cream
1 pr of Tens “shoes”
1 pkg of pet wipes.
And the blue/pink bag - that was nice
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 we are nearly irk twins. I got expired hand sanitizer instead of expired sun screen but no pet wipes which others say is expired but to add distilled water or something (it’s above somewhere) to which keeps them moist and useable. It is irksome to be contributing to the landfill dump.
Got mine recently, INSTANT REGRET!
Not worth $10.
KN95 masks
Pet hair comb
Expired one pack of Pet doodoo wipes
Almost expired granola/kale bars
Doodle drawing thing that regularly goes on Amazon for $5
Got my IRK Friday. This time I got…
I have been here since the original woot days, kickstarter, VMP and all that bullshit, I have had some incredible BOC, Fuko, IRK and some mid grade ones, but today, today is without a doubt the biggest well deserved disappointment in the History of this place.
2 packs of butt wipes for dogs.
5 Covid Masks
1 IRK bag
1 broken, in half, Cemetery Christmas Grave Marker. Best part, it was dirty, so probably used too.
I’ll donate the Butt wipes, along with the masks, to my local shelter.
@somf69 I have so many questions.
Well, mostly just the one.
What is a Cemetery Christmas Grave Marker?
Thank you, Meh! & SideDeal!
@tahshar Well, at least you’re being thankful for the small things just like a good Christian should, as follows:
Ephesians 5:19-20 NIV, Paul instructs Believers to be thankful in everything – that includes the little things and the bad things.
Great job!!
I got a blender. This blender
https://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-2099742-ActiveSense-Blender-Smoothie/dp/B07VC4WKV8
@ACraigL Fancy blender.
@ACraigL Woohoo!
@ACraigL
Nice blender
Welp, my last few IRKs have been below lackluster, but at least this one was sorta functional?
A whole lot of masks (will re-home). Sunblock (I actually even bought this)
Pup butt wipes. Not a lot of need, but still useful.
Fur lintrollerx2? OK, that’s actually pretty on point.
Man, so little thanks giving in this thread… My IRK arrived today!
Thanks, Meh!
@djslack
Maybe it’s black anthrax, just for you. Lol
@Star2236 that’s dark!
@djslack
It was a joke. The hot zone season 2 anthrax is next on my series to watch so that’s the only reason I thought of it.
@Star2236 mine too, but simpler… black anthrax is dark
Meh too.
[see all the above for underwhelming stuff
30th verse, same as the first]
At least there was the thrill of the chase
Not worth detailing the contents of my $15 box of shit. Most went straight into the trash as expired.
@n3uka Looks like I am the only one that still got trackers to add to the huge pile I already have.
@n3uka There’s probably others but they’re either too IRKed to post their lousy box or don’t care to bother posting the garbage they received. And it looks there was PLENTY of junk sent to almost everyone. I’m one of the smart ones who no longer partake in meh’s “Garbage Giveaways”!!
I just want Meh to know that the broken office laser printer that they probably paid more to ship to me than if they’d just thrown it away is still sitting in my garage, and likely will be for the rest of time.
@DLPanther It might be of use for parts during the apocalypse.
@DLPanther Do you at least have electronics recycling in your area so when you do decide to toss it for good?
The only things I got different than the above are two unopened pack of massage slippers. Unfortunately, they need wires which are not included.
Quite unobjectionable IRK this time, expired hand sanitizer (good fuel for patio alcohol stove), dog wipes (good gift for our dog owning family), cold brew coffee maker, and navy IRK bag. Thanks, Meh!
I got what seems like 2 IRKs. One purple and gold bag with a pasta maker.
One pink and blue? iRK bag with:
8 packs of masks
1 pet wipes
2 plant based lotion sunscreen
1 door mounted organizer.
I’m pleased.
@elgefe In separate boxes?
@sammydog01 yes, two boxes.
Mine wasn’t even worth posting a photo of this time.
I keep thinking it’s great I don’t pay for these things, but I also did permanently alter my body for them (and that did cost money).
Ah well… we will always have next time
@mbersiam I’m still kicking myself for losing the nerve to get irk inked. And now the chance is lost forever
First time I played in a while and happy I did!
I got the purple and gold reusable grocery bag and a used Dream R 10 Cordless stick vacuum!
It was a returnwith a nice note from the previous purchaser included in the box. They apparently tried using it on their porch because it was full of leaves (why??) and it’s missing the wall mount charging dock but it works! Once it’s cleaned up, it will be great for the camper.
For once I actually emailed support because the box that I received had absolutely nothing usable in it. It had dried up paint, some hand sanitizer, expired sunscreen and a stainless steel growler without a lid. I’ve been purchasing these kits for over 6 years and never again. This was a joke and it’s really a waste of money when they are sending shit to people that should have been thrown away before they decided to repackage it up for additional profit. As of today based off of the first response from support I will never purchase anything from meh again.
@sdoepper updating with the response from support this morning -
"Hello,
That is the point of an IRK. Nothing about the item page suggest you would be receiving usable goods"
And on that note meh, side deal and all the other bullshit sites that they have can all go fuck themselves.
Wipe right pack
Crisp apple wax melts 2
Purple irk bag
2 bracelets meh
3 face masks ppe
Retractable dog leash and collapse bowl (it’s like you knew we were getting a dog soon awww)
I didn’t take a group shot but we got a big ol’ Queen comforter although the cats think it is a new bed, complete with shams, pet butt wipes (frozen stiff), a couple bottles of Australian something sun block (somewhat frozen), a pretty IRK bag and I think there was something else, I can’t remember. Maybe not? But the comforter will go nice in our cabin if the cats will ever give it up. Highly doubtful.
@Dakini Yeah, the cat on the comforter is definitely saying “This is MINE!”
@Kyeh she is a tortie and definitely has tortitude!
Just opened mine dreading a duplicate of every one else’s. I was not disappointed. Received the same stuff.
4 - Air Police 4 masks
1 - Wipe Right pet wipes. Thought I could use them as a substitute for sanitizing wipes but read the ingredients and said no.
2 -Scrubit Hair Remover rolls for pets
1- Australian Gold 70 sunscreen - just in time as I just used up the last tube of expired sunscreen.
1 - Purple meh bag
Thank you meh.
First time 100% regret for me. (1) the bag (2) 5 sets of N95 masks (3) dog butt wipes (4) 2 sets of massage slippers (no wires) and (5) 2 x 3pack craft paint (2 styles)
I’d like to recall an appropriate line from the song “Where Have All The Flowers Gone”:
“When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?”
Got 6 disposable face masks, 1pkg of 6 refreshing masks. keep it clean keep it covered message received meh. 1 baby nail file thing, 1 navy & pink IRK bag better than the last 2 times over all it is meh…
Nothing photo worthy in mine this time. It’s the same stuff most of you guys got … not really worth the $15, but not completely useless.
