“You go buy at least twenty bucks of stuff (not counting tax or shipping) over in the Meh-rathon on Meh
Your regret rises slightly
In a week or two, you’ll get a twenty buck refund back, so your IRK is basically ten bucks”
Better than some of the other ploys to regret in the past.
Honestly, after trying (and failing) to get one last time they went full old school (especially with unreliable refreshes) I decided I prefer this way of getting IRKs.
@cfg83 Could also buy $19.99 worth of stuff to join the trash bin.
I’m reminded of how every office I’ve been to pays for junk collection. Like $100 a pound. This adds up when your ancient PCs and printers need a-tossin’.
@brainmist Only one per event, unless there’s a hidden way for everyone to get 2. So if we snuck in an IRK offer on Meh today, that would be a bonus from the SideDeal standard and you could have that one plus the ink offer, but the “normal method of acquisition for any given event” is but available to you, if you’re already getting one free.
All that is to say, don’t bother getting one on SideDeal today. That’s the standard offer for this event.
On one hand, the last IRK I purchased was so disappointing I forgot to post an image of what I got (I think I kept the IRK bag and one other thing and donated everything else). By the time I was ready to post what I got, I lost track of where the message board was.
On the other hand, I found enough items today to reach the discount so hopefully I will have less regret and actually post about it on time.
How does this work? I went to sidedeal and bought a $30 irk. Then I came to Meh and found this irk. If I buy this one for $30, does it count for the $30 I am supposed to buy at Meh? Do they cancel each other out?
Didn’t see anything worth buying for that oddly specific refund, oh well.
Also, I get this is asking alot and probably wishful thinking bbbbbbbuuuuuuutttttttt. It’d be nice to have a manly irk come my way, seriously. The last two have had a lot of women’s clothing, a woman’s duffle bag, pink earbuds, and the food processor. Which means the fiancée has claimed the entirety of both of my last irks.
@Grimskull89 dunno how to post an image from my phone but mine came today:
-orange irk bag
-amazi chili lime jack fruit x 6
-quench micro water complex hand and body lotion
-large Nicole Miller puffer jacket
-popular mechanics battery converters
Pretty regretful. And pretty certain someone at Meh thinks I’m a woman.
@danoinct@n3uka The bags are tiny when folded, but open out much larger.
But to address the real question, the dimensions are FXG’s default ones, snd may get updated to the actual ones if the package size is captured in transit by one of the automated scans. An IRK is never that small, in my experience.
-Orange IRK bag
-Set of red Ginsu knives + knife block
-Amazi brand Dried Jackfruit packs x6, Chili Lime flavor
-Pack of Verb bars (girlfriend was stoked about these)
-16 oz insulated tumbler with silicon straw
Yeah, totally didnt read the description. Mine was hand delivered to my door in a brown box with no address or name on it.
2 Dummy Cameras
1 Sonic Toothbrush with 8 heads
1 Inflatable Turkey
3 Christmas Fiber-lit canvases
6 Boxes of Nonni’s Bakery Pumpkin spice biscuits
1 IRK/Meh bag
The toothbrush feels very powerful and heavy, kind of impressed.
The dummy cameras have LEDs. If theyre infrared, I need the parts and that will be awesome.
The rest, eh. $30? Im fine with that. I would have been better with $10, but that’s on me.
Most are give aways, but always grateful for items in the IRK!
1med dress blouse
1 Orange IRK Bag
2 bx Belvitas banana Bread Bisquits
1 flowery Tote/handbag

I got a cuisinart coffee maker. They opened the box and put an irk bag on top then resealed it. unfortunatley they didnt put the IRK bag under the cardboard sheet that was right there so the bag handles got cut when i opened it. meh indeed.
Shit box! I Don’t mind getting products that suck, and I expect that, but getting expired food is unacceptable. SideDeals…do better!!

@okthemighty As a middle-aged man, this is normal. you’ll have to go through it for a few years or decades.
Then you will become an old man, maybe survive some brushes with death, and learn to embrace it all (except maybe the body-shaping products; probably no point in that anymore, if there ever was).
Well my IRK was delivered today (09/27/24) & my wife sent me a “WTF is this?!?” text
She added, it’s big & heavy, so I’m not moving it off the porch. Now curiosity is killing this cat!!

@FreePasta @Larry1977 Until you can roll with the $100 IRKs and not even bother reading the fine print to get your credit, you just aren’t making’ it.
@pmarin I’m obviously not makin’ it, to the point of not knowing what that would even look like.
@FreePasta @Larry1977 @pmarin If I was making’ it that well, I’d be buying more cars & motorcycles, not IRKs.
Honestly, after trying (and failing) to get one last time they went full old school (especially with unreliable refreshes) I decided I prefer this way of getting IRKs.
Agreed.
While the quality of pleasant surprises in IRKs has gone down over the years, I also highly prefer this method of acquiring IRKs.
@heartbleed really? A bunch of alarms set and no sleep but I scored one the old school way. Was it worth it? Meh.
/youtube the thrill is gone
/youtube honey where’s the money gone
I like buying IRKs … and not opening them.

@cfg83 Is he cooking in a garbage can?
@blaineg Yeah, but I just found out it’s a product :
@pakopako I would actually be pretty impressed if the IRK had a broken laptop in it.

Will this still work if I already purchased $20 worth at meh before buying the irk?
@asrah Yes, if those orders were from today’s event.
@Extramedium I’m sure I’ve asked this before, BUT!
Does the Ink for IRK IRK count as the only IRK from SideDeal? Or can we do this too?
@brainmist Only one per event, unless there’s a hidden way for everyone to get 2. So if we snuck in an IRK offer on Meh today, that would be a bonus from the SideDeal standard and you could have that one plus the ink offer, but the “normal method of acquisition for any given event” is but available to you, if you’re already getting one free.

@ExtraMedium Thank you! I knew some people had managed two, but they must have done the bonus.
Appreciate your patience!
I picked up mine on Side Deal.
Looking at the stuff being sold in this Mehithon, I have a hunch that the bag will include some lighting, a power bank, and a backpack of some sort.
On one hand, the last IRK I purchased was so disappointing I forgot to post an image of what I got (I think I kept the IRK bag and one other thing and donated everything else). By the time I was ready to post what I got, I lost track of where the message board was.

I love the Cuisinart bread maker I received in one of my recent IRK’s! My family loves the fresh baked breads we make in it! Thanks Meh!
Do these things normally ship via FedEx?
@danoinct FedEx Ground, yes.
My tracking number says that my bag of regret only weighs one pound and has dimensions of 6x4x1 inch?
What could that be??
@danoinct A package of Regret with a bag included?
@n3uka That’s gotta be a really small bag!
@danoinct @n3uka The bags are tiny when folded, but open out much larger.

@bynko I have some of both of the comestibles you mention, of the same dates, and neither has truly reached the point where I’d call them “stale”.
I got an uncomfortable number of “Body Shaping” products. I am a middle aged man. Instant Regret. Why do I keep doing this to myself?
