[R&D] The Next Big Thing
0Making products yourself is hard. It’s the main reason that we don’t.
Still, we hear there’s money in it.
Help us come up with some potential Meh Originals by combining items that you know damn well we have lying around the warehouse (and then /showme what you’ve got).

@jouest can you tell i was using voice to text so i had to spell it, LOL
And I find it interesting which of your topics gets a lot of traction and which gets less
@Cerridwyn haha—me too
@Cerridwyn
How about dehydrated water? Just add water.
@cengland0 @Cerridwyn brilliant.

Took the granddaughter and my French cousin to Omni Mart (part of meow wolf) in Las vegas. One of the items on the shelf was “nut-free salted peanuts”. Essentially just a can of salt!
@jouest
Edit: OMEGA Mart
@chienfou Peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes.
@cengland
And so, what’s your point?
Aren’t they by definition nut free…?
@cengland @chienfou nope. Not even close
@cengland @Cerridwyn
There ARE no nuts in it!
/showme a combination toaster, blender, juicer, mixer, air fryer, and coffee maker in which each appliance folds out like a Swiss army knife.
@narfcake Isn’t that @mediocrebot’s girlfriend?
@narfcake Okay, that made me laugh
@mediocrebot I appreciate the vintage aesthetic.
For purposes of inspiration, I recommend these two videos.
@werehatrack hey I think I watched a video of that guy digging a hole one time.

Not very combination. Same prompt, take #2:

you really had a vision here.
/showme a vintage styled advertisement for the “Penguin Warmer 2000” showing a cold penguin saying brrr in front of a lit BBQ grill and a small logo of a cat chef with approved written underneath.
@narfcake I spent the better part of the day thinking about this post and still have no idea what’s going on.
@jouest That makes two of us!

@jouest at the LA coffee Festival before covid there was the representative from liquor 43 there. He actually had a bike that was a blender.
@Cerridwyn @jouest I was at an art fair once where some people had a bicycle-powered mini-band saw. They made flat wooden ornaments.
@Cerridwyn @Kyeh I learned about Amish blender conversions on this forum yesterday
@jouest @Kyeh Licor43 at a coffee festival made this very good alcoholic coffee. I modified it by using a high speed ninja blender (from meh of course) and nitro brew coffee
@Cerridwyn @jouest @Kyeh
Recipe?
@chienfou @jouest @Kyeh it’s very simple. It is cold coffee concentrate preferred or you can use cold brew I used Nitro Brew to get to beautiful foam. Ice. Liquor 43 and a blender.
@Cerridwyn @chienfou @Kyeh I’ll be reporting back on this.
@chienfou @jouest @Kyeh it is very tasty. Don’t read the ingredients list on the licor 43 before you try it. Seriously cuz you’re going to think that doesn’t taste good in coffee but damn it sure does. Much better than I espresso Martini but not something that you can get made most places
@Cerridwyn @jouest @Kyeh
THANKS!… Now I’m going to have to source Licor 43…sigh
@chienfou @jouest @Kyeh https://licor43.com/cocktails/carajillo-43/
BevMo or Total Wine. The drink above is what the iced one, the Blended one that he made, was originally based upon
@Cerridwyn
Alas, Alabama has draconian and very weird mail order alcohol laws. I may have to have it shipped to a relative out of state, or see if I can’t find it at a liquor store when we go to Georgia or Tennessee next.
@chienfou
I’m sorry
AI says that there are places in Alabama that carry it.
@Cerridwyn
Went to the local ABC store yesterday to pick up bourbon for some peach jam I was making. Clerk was familiar with Licor 43 but didn’t stock it locally in our small town. He did say it is available in Montgomery though. Woohoo … road trip!
@Cerridwyn @chienfou this is going to be the most anyone has worked for Liquor 43
@Cerridwyn @jouest
I’m pretty convinced it’ll be worth it.
Here’s a thought that’s not outside the realm of possibility; a combination robovac and beverage delivery 'bot that can bring a beer and sweep up the peanut shells on demand.
/showme a roomba delivering two beers and sweeping up peanut shells from the floor.
@werehatrack throwback to meeting the parents of my first college girlfriend, dropping my peanuts on the floor of one of those restaurants where you can do that before slowly realizing that it was indeed not one of those restaurants where you can do that.
/showme an advertisement titled “meh” that shows an all-in-one desk lamp which includes an iPhone speaker dock, a fidget spinner, a makeup mirror, a battery dispenser, a toaster, a coffee maker, and a waffle iron. On the bottom, say “Only 99 easy payments of $99!”.
@narfcake that is oddly specific
@Cerridwyn @narfcake it’s perfect
@Cerridwyn @jouest @narfcake You forgot the part where you have to buy $100 worth of stuff for your irk.
@narfcake I’m not entirely certain we haven’t sold this.

@mediocrebot we feel so seen
/showme some good ways that a bulk quantity of TrackR personal tracking devices can be used as ballast or otherwise not go to waste.
@jouest I think Meh needs to host a trackr Olympics. It’s something I’ve been tempted to do but I know I’m too lazy to do it.
Have everyone decorate a trackr. Paint it in a unique way and send it back to you.
Then host events and make videos doing silly commentary. You could have a race… Roll the trackrs down a tack. Long jump… Same idea but with a ramp at the end. Javelin… Roll down slope and knock a toothpick off the table. Curling… Launch the trackrs flat along a polished surface using a rubber band to try and get it to a center circle.
Score each trackr based on it’s finish.
I don’t know… Could probably come up with all sorts of silly events. The winner gets an Irk (and all the painted trackrs sent to them)
@OnionSoup this is brilliant. people watch marble races…
@jouest yes, that’s what gave me the idea. I think it would be fun.
@jouest @OnionSoup TrackRs as playing pieces on a small Crokinole board? I’d play that.

@mediocrebot Close, but I didn’t request “Thing”
to be using the Panda Rocketbook or to vacuum the table top! 
@mediocrebot @MrGoodGuy thing is the third sports bra
@jouest
Only problem is that he can only support one at a time…
