Remember the meh travel mugs?

OnionSoup shared a link said Tue, Nov 29th 2016 at 8:15pm ET

I found this on Amazon and it made me laugh. Read the 1 star review. Somehow someone ordering a plain mug from Amazon ended up with a mug that had “meh” printed on it.

They were less than impressed. Reading that review made me laugh out loud, and I don’t mean the lol abbreviation where you don’t really laugh.

When did Amazon start carrying meh products?

Mama always said, “Be careful who you get in bed with.”

Commingled goods. A third party seller bought these from meh, slapped it with the unadorned product’s barcode, and shipped it to Amazon to fulfill.

- @narfcake that’s a better theory than any I could come up with.
  
  I wonder if anyone online has received mediocre socks, or meh or VMP shirts?
  
  I love how meh’s product placement is so ambiguous that if you’re not familiar with the product it can fool you.

- @narfcake How far down the food chain do you have to be to buy third party goods from Meh?

@carl6969 's comment afterward is much better than the review itself

"that’s a pretty mediocre mug. it’d really Irk me to get one.

let us consult the mehcronomicon:
‘For one would order a pink mug, oh… who are we kidding? This thing is awesome! So say we all,’"(amazon.com).

Having a truly miserable week/month and this made me truly laugh out loud. A little maniacally and probably scared the cats but SO worth it - thx!
