@JohnMorris I’m increasingly convinced that the offerings this month aren’t really intended to sell. They’re there to give the impression that Meh is selling stuff, but since no one actually buys any of these things, the whole thing is just a front to collect the $5 VMP payments…
Fuck this shit. I’m not paying double the price that this SHOULD go for just because it includes a little extra snake oil. $40 for this is criminal. It’s probably only marginally better than the $5 regular plastic diffuser I already have.
I’ve seen a lot of negativity (not pointing fingers) the past few days about what is being offered for sale on this site.
I think it’s good to remember that there are a lot of users out there that may like what is offered and that you (meant in the vaguest sense of the word) are not the only buyers. If you don’t like it, that’s what the meh button is for. Click that thing as angrily as you like.
I will get off my high horse now. I really shouldn’t be on one anyway because I might fall and break something…
@jst1ofknd idk. 73 sold doesn’t seem like there’s going to be a run on banks anytime soon. You know, so that everyone can buy one of these things.
I’m not buying as often. I’m willing to believe meh has attracted a different sort of buyer, but shouldn’t they have tried to get more of the type they initially attracted?
/giphy if I was so damned smart why ain’t I rich is a fair critique
@jst1ofknd I don’t mind pointing one out. @fastharry is the biggest troll of them all…he gets on here a spews hate every morning. What a way to start your day…I used to enjoy reading these posts because people might or might not like the product, but the comments were fun and lighthearted.
@jst1ofknd@shahnm I’m happy to read reviews by someone who owns an item, or who’s mother owns it, or even who’s roommate’s cousin read a review about it, but it pisses me off when people make rude comments about things they perceive to be garbage and have actually never even seen in real life much less used.
So now we’ve taken multiple devices that exhibit and amazing plethora of pseudo-medical horse hockey and combine them into a single completely useless item…
I guess it might look interesting, and when I put cologne into the atomizer I have already it helps the apartment to smell nice if nothing else.
@Funkthulhu - If you use it then when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So you’ll have that going for you, which is nice.
One more day and I will have made it the whole month without a purchase. That is more on me though as I am cheap. I know I hadn’t purchased a lot in the past but June & July got me to bite a couple of times especially since my shipping was “free”. It is still fun to come read the write ups and complaints in the topic created.
As for my $5 membership, I get way more than $5 worth of entertainment in the forums daily. (Yes, I know it is free to participate on the forum but I am justifying myself here.)
Said this 2 weeks ago and got lambasted…But It’s the truth and more people are saying it in one way or another…Just read the comments above mine and for the past few days…
not only that…The selection of items has change in the last 6 months…Looking at the 40+ orders I made 8-12 months ago compared to the last 3 months’ 4 orders (though the RUGER knives were great) something has changed…there are no COOL bargains anymore…Just cheap outdated junk you can buy anywhere…Where are the THULE backpacks?..the speakers?..The Santana carry bags?..the neat electronics?..the MUST HAVE Bargains…Hell, even the fidget spinners were a deal and great handouts to kids…WOOT and other places are offering current stuff, better pricing, and cool stories notwithstanding, a better experience.
@troy I did…bought 2 of them last time…about 6 months ago when i was placing 4 orders a week cause everything was so cool…that even uneeded I had to have it…It’s not that way anymore…MEH is losing it’s “must have don’t need” status…in other words, where the EFF is all the cool stuff? Too many repeats, household items, no bundles…boring crap I can get anywhere…
I read the bit in the product description about positive ions from electronic devices, was about to rant, then read the part of the writeup that talks about it and was instantly given life. A++++ this time. 🖒
@hchavers funny you mention it, we have had insect problems (ants) when we first moved in. We bought a huge bag of lavender and little sacks to hide all over the condo. It worked, the bugs are gone, but man…between the peppermint diffuser and the lavender bags…
I’ll take your suggestion into consideration though. Perhaps switching over to lavender oil would kill two birds with one stone.

ಠ_ಠ
Weird salt lick -ER meh diffuser —guess they are trying to diffuse salty situations
It’s two, two, two fads in one!
@djslack Three. You forgot the crystal part.
It’s like a very slow motion lava lamp for millennials…
What can’t it be an IRK on the nights I can’t sleep.
I got the last diffuser you sold (last week, I think) and it quit working already.
@Darrell2 Lucky thing Meh has another one for you to buy tonight!
@Darrell2
I’m confused.
Oh, and there were no other diffusers in the last 15 days.
@PlacidPenguin @PlacidPenguin Don’t make me take away your ability to view profiles.
@Darrell2 you can turn off your profile on your account page. If you have a dead diffuser - hit up customer support and we’ll get your sorted.
@Darrell2 @PlacidPenguin Oh oh, @Darrell2. I think Detective Penguin is on to you…
@Darrell2 - Did you buy from MorningSave?
@PlacidPenguin I typically spend my days confused, too, but I usually try to keep it to myself.
@PlacidPenguin What sounds fishy to me is that he claims to have bought it last week yet already has it.
@Darrell2 @PlacidPenguin, I just checked and you’re right. I guess I thought that because I just opened it last week.
Are you tracking my shopping habits, meh?
@kdemo Are you buying blond chicks with weird eyes?
Considering the last few days, does anyone else get the impression that Meh is scraping the barrel looking for stuff to sell?
@JohnMorris I’m increasingly convinced that the offerings this month aren’t really intended to sell. They’re there to give the impression that Meh is selling stuff, but since no one actually buys any of these things, the whole thing is just a front to collect the $5 VMP payments…
@shahnm the warehouse deserves a break after all those Fukos…
@JohnMorris @shahnm
They need to start preparing stuff for the IRKs.
@JohnMorris The good buyer is on vacation. Irk is filling in (and getting ready, as the Penguin said).
@JohnMorris would not surprise if they start selling barrels next…
@givemehdeal @JohnMorris OK, but the barrels have to be full of monkeys.
Ah. This one’s just for the gullible saps. G’nite.
@smittypap I bought my wife one of each at her insistence. Now I can get a two for one replacement… or not.
Too bad it isn’t the deluxe model… I hear that one has a snake oil dispenser built in.
Fuck this shit. I’m not paying double the price that this SHOULD go for just because it includes a little extra snake oil. $40 for this is criminal. It’s probably only marginally better than the $5 regular plastic diffuser I already have.
@Dizavid It probably looks cooler.
If you’re not VMP and paying shipping, there is one cheaper on the mothership that has Alexa too. $43 with Prime. THREE fads in one!

@katbyter Looks like shit too – FOUR in one!
What better way to use up the essential oils that the multi-level markeing reps must buy, besides not being a multi-level marketing rep?
Anyone want a business of their own that can make your home smell good and solve all your health problems? Ask me how.
@hchavers me how?
Do not want woo.
I’m not convinced that acknowledging that these things are bullshit mitigates selling quackery.
But I am reminded of those hologram bracelets Woot sold. Good times.

@jst1ofknd But bitching about shit validates our otherwise blasé existences…

@jst1ofknd you are on the money with this comment…
@shahnm
Some comments seem to me to have gone passed the good natured. Again, just my opinion.
I’m not trying to get on that high horse again. I was lucky to not fall off and get hurt last time.
@stinks
I for one am glad that I don’t feel compelled to buy everything. If every product were a great match for me, I would be broke.
@jst1ofknd I don’t mind pointing one out. @fastharry is the biggest troll of them all…he gets on here a spews hate every morning. What a way to start your day…I used to enjoy reading these posts because people might or might not like the product, but the comments were fun and lighthearted.

"Some comments seem to me to have gone passed the good natured. Again, just my opinion.

1 Just ignore the comments you don’t like. Especially mine
2 It sounds like you do kinda like that high horse, at least a little bit.
3 Have a happy.
@jst1ofknd @shahnm I’m happy to read reviews by someone who owns an item, or who’s mother owns it, or even who’s roommate’s cousin read a review about it, but it pisses me off when people make rude comments about things they perceive to be garbage and have actually never even seen in real life much less used.
A salt lamp and essential oils diffuser? What a time to be alive. Science is making constant strides and people are still turning to hocus pocus.
So now we’ve taken multiple devices that exhibit and amazing plethora of pseudo-medical horse hockey and combine them into a single completely useless item…
I guess it might look interesting, and when I put cologne into the atomizer I have already it helps the apartment to smell nice if nothing else.
@Funkthulhu - If you use it then when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So you’ll have that going for you, which is nice.
No built in holder for my energy-aligning magnet bracelet? No deal.
OK, Facebook, I’m counting on you.

@fastharry Did you miss the THULE backpack we sold last Monday?
@fastharry @troy The last Thule backpack was an OK deal at best.
@troy I did…bought 2 of them last time…about 6 months ago when i was placing 4 orders a week cause everything was so cool…that even uneeded I had to have it…It’s not that way anymore…MEH is losing it’s “must have don’t need” status…in other words, where the EFF is all the cool stuff?

Dunno about the purported benefits, but we have a couple of salt lamps in our house because we like the way they look and they make good nightlights.
I read the bit in the product description about positive ions from electronic devices, was about to rant, then read the part of the writeup that talks about it and was instantly given life. A++++ this time. 🖒
I really enjoyed your rant today. Very well written.
Going to try saying “Biggie Smalls” three times into my smartphone.
Is it plastic or ceramic?
@troy ^
@lseeber He says they’re plastic.
@FeralRants Thanks!
this is actually really cute and i want it but not for $45.
Electro turds.

I may have considered it if I didn’t already have 2 diffusers in my 800 sqft condo. I am already suffocating in peppermint.
@goldnectar Have you tried Lavender?
@hchavers funny you mention it, we have had insect problems (ants) when we first moved in. We bought a huge bag of lavender and little sacks to hide all over the condo. It worked, the bugs are gone, but man…between the peppermint diffuser and the lavender bags…
I’ll take your suggestion into consideration though. Perhaps switching over to lavender oil would kill two birds with one stone.
@goldnectar @hchavers The shampoo I use is lavender mint scented. I’m not sure I would like a whole house full of it though.
@goldnectar … Why didn’t you just kill them? You didn’t have to spread lilac everywhere
I already have a similar setup.
My lamp is haunted.
@caddylikescake please tell us your spooky tales.
