Sometimes We Sell Weird Sh...tuff, Totally Was Gonna Say Stuff
14The customer support team recently stumbled upon this ridiculous item on MorningSave:
What do you think the weirdest thing we’re currently selling is?
If you can scour MorningSave or SideDeal and come up with the weirdest product - decided by likes - before Monday, we’ll send you something. (That something may or may not suck and probably won’t be useful.)

I don’t know if these are the weirdest, but they may draw some curious stares when strapped over some crocs while walking around in a Texas Walmart.

@kuoh And here’s even less socks than today’s Meh offering for even more money. Why do I get the impression there might some sort of weird fetish / indoctrination happening at Meh?
KuoH
@kuoh Invisible isn’t working.
@blaineg Yeah, I don’t think that word means what they think it means. Perhaps they meant inconceivable?
KuoH
Did it work? Did I go over and buy something yes damn you and as for weird stuff most of it’s been over here already I’m going to vote for something Halloweenie
@Cerridwyn I actually own this one.
@Cerridwyn
I wanted to buy that but then I saw the size and thought it was kinda small. I think it’s an awesome Halloween decoration.
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!
@Cerridwyn
I just opened mine up a few days ago!
I might have thought they were going to be a little more fun than they actually were because for some unknown reason I BOUGHT TWO OF THEM!
I already gifted one to my D.I.L, Halloween is her favorite holiday!
@Cerridwyn I remember when wootstalker broke and this Meh item was being stuck there for weeks.
I’m going to nominate this one because of what it looks like it’s designed for rather than what I’m going to have to assume it’s supposed to do. It looks like something that gets inserted somewhere. But yet it claims to be for “posture”.
@werehatrack Speaking of things with suspicious shapes, I found this odd one:
Is it an insertable device? Is it a pipe? Is it a lava lamp?
Nope. It’s a bluetooth speaker.
@werehatrack @xobzoo just because something is a bluetooth speaker doesn’t mean it’s not insertable. You can use your body as a speaker once it’s fully inserted.
I think these look ludicrous:
But I don’t think anyone’s beaten the french fry/phone holder yet.
@Kyeh If those short came with matching buns, I’d be all over them.
@werehatrack Ugh. I think they’re hideous and having that fabric all up in my crack would annoy the hell out of me.
I’m not sure when and where would be a good time to be a duck
@angelamer I like those, except for the zombie horse.
@angelamer @Kyeh I have no idea either, but I bought the duck and the eagle a while back.
@angelamer My mother recently bought me the wolf one. She gets me.
@PooltoyWolf I never did see, what did you end up naming your newest addition to your family?
@Lynnerizer Oh, my big fox? His name is Frisco, after the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad!

@angelamer while driving
@angelamer @Kyeh LOL, zombie horse was my favorite! Because of course.
These were sold here but they’re still pretty weird and stupid and on morningsave.
Especially the pig.
@sammydog01 Oooo, yeah - they still have those hideous things?!
@Kyeh I’m surprised they haven’t hit irks yet.
@Kyeh @sammydog01 “Yet”.
Mehbe this sweaty mess
@tinamarie1974 I could have used one of these this week. I am not feeling well. It started Wednesday with a really bad case of brain fog, and progressed through other things. I finally snapped to the fact that I was actually sick when I eventually checked for a fever.
I gotta go with this. Not only does it look stupid, it also screams “personal injury lawsuit”.
@blaineg Perhaps it should be marketed as the class action great attractor?
KuoH
@blaineg The major fail of the design is that it only works with doorstrikers that are a rectangular loop design. I can’t say what percentage of cars use that instead of the t-shaped post, but I know that the loop is not universal by any means.
@blaineg is this for climbing onto the top of the car? From the picture, if you can get your foot on this, you’ll have no problem just stepping into the car.
@blaineg @donpratt that first step onto the roof is likely to cost you about a grand to fix
@blaineg @donpratt @werehatrack
Stepping on a car roof is bad?
Then what about leaping, dancing, stomping?
Of course, a grand ain’t nuthin’ in the context of a Hollywood blockbuster budget …
Or mehbe these, they look like butter candles
@tinamarie1974 I actually thought it was butter (like the butter lamb for Easter) when I first saw it.
@Star2236 me too!!!
How about these things?
@sammydog01 Yet another way to make potato chips that are too thick to be properly crunchy.
@poids I went through with my search but fell asleep before posting anything. It took me a day to remember to come back here.
Anyway, this one was on my short list.
@poids There’s also this other option for snoring:
Wait - is this like what the whiners think IRKs are supposed to be?
And yet the $5 IRKs last time were $98…
@ybmuG I purchased either this or a similar one…really good!!!
@ybmuG And very few of the $98 IRKs were worth as much as $35 IMO. I wish I could say that I think everyone achieved the offset to bring it back to a buck, but this did not occur.
@ybmuG
I’ve gotten some good stuff from the mystery boxes.
@tinamarie1974 @ybmuG These mystery boxes were on my short list (of weird stuff). There’s also the probably-the-same-but-technically-different larger version:
@tinamarie1974 What was there?
@Ark_kun ive ordered a few and have already moved them into my “Christmas grab bag” pile. I dont remmeber exactly. I recall hats, gloves, slippers. Maybe headphones cant remmeber what else
@Ark_kun @tinamarie1974 no TrackRs?
@Ark_kun @ybmuG no, only useful stuff!!
That’s not for fries. It’s for the Kraft macaroni and cheese.
@detailer More useful for chicken strips, IMO.
The question is whether or not what you will be sent is the weirdest thing you posted.
And this tricked you into looking at everything they are selling. But… will sales go up? Hmmm
/giphy made you look
this. because it looks like you’re trying to bring back the 70s, and everyone knows the 70s was a grimy era as evidenced by the grimy feel of all 70s movies. please leave the 70s where they belong, in the anals of history. that’s fucking right. i said the “anals” of history.
@carl669 I was there. You’re not wrong.
@carl669 @werehatrack Hey, it wasn’t all bad - I got my first girlfriend and my first car (and lost my virginity
) in the 70s.
@carl669 it’s a trendy house coat. And by “trendy” I mean designed to attract those who were not even alive at the time to feel like they are somehow “one” with those who were.
@carl669 As awful as these are, they pale in comparison to the men in lime green polyester leisure suits dancing to disco under the mirror balls and strobing black lights. The '70s were a visual nightmare.
It’s not so much the product but the name of it “V zone cream” it’s not a surprise why it ended up here, someone didn’t think that one through. I like dr bandit products to, they have some really good stuff.
@Star2236 That’s the first I’ve heard that a v-zone could have a neck.
@Star2236 @werehatrack You’re talking about the cervical region, right? Yeah, that can be a neck.
If you buy now, this alien mask should arrive in time for Halloween. (It reminds me of Megamind, among others.)
(I imagine it has a good chance of being very useful for dealing with migraines, but it sure looks funny.)
@xobzoo Not everyone responds to the same treatments positively when it comes to migraines. In my case, that ice wrap would make it unbearably worse.
@xobzoo these would actually be handy for chemo patients. Apparently during chemo, if you keep your head cool, it lessens the hair loss.
Are we allowed multiple entries?
This one isn’t especially “weird”… except that I would feel weird/awkward treating some of these as a blanket.
In particular, these 3 seem like they should be reserved for non-blanket decorations:
@xobzoo she looks like she’s seen some shit…
@xobzoo at least they show the flag not touching the floor
@xobzoo @ybmuG It would be a lot more interesting if those two figures looked like Mizrahi. (Not much, particularly the woman). But it’s still not my mythology, so I’d pass anyway.
@xobzoo Damn… my daughter would love that Jesus throw… shame too late.
I won’t make any claims about whether this will relax your neck and shoulders, but it sure looks weird.
This is the sort of book that I would judge by its cover.
And as a sort of runner-up, this:
(I think I understand its intent/purpose, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone decorate in that style. Especially on their lawn.)
@xobzoo
That looks like an ugly ass apron on a yard stake
@Star2236 @xobzoo If you could get somebody to pony up the money for 4 or 5 hundred of them, and find a public space where they would let you install them all, that would make a pretty brilliant short-term public art installation. And they would be good as path markers for the entrance to a Fall Festival. But by themselves or in just small numbers? Mmmm, nope.
@xobzoo I want to know what that handle-looking thing at the top is for?!
@Kyeh @xobzoo The description says it has a “hanging ribbon”.
@macromeh @xobzoo
Oh. It looks so dumb!
@xobzoo The fact that it lights up is not the plus they think it is!
Thanks to our heroes remarkable oil?
I’m imagining someone spending their day wiping off sweaty faces and squeezing it into a jar…
Beats the miscategorized stuff I see on Woot.
A mechanical egg in the produce section? Orifice cleaners in plumbing?
Maybe not the weirdest, but I just can’t get past taking something already hideous by design and making it out of what looks like a muppet that went through the dryer:
Why would one do this? What purpose does it serve?
A cheaper and less useful version of the original ridiculous item. There’s not even a spot for a phone buffer to keep your fries from getting cold from the ac vent. And personally I wouldn’t trust putting a penny in that condiment holder, much less a glob of stain my clothes and car ketchup!
@milstarr For the ultimate in car interior food contamination, try having a catering tray full of charro beans tip over in the back seat footwell. I removed the seat and undid everythging holding the carpet down before the detailing guy arrrived, and he said that was the only reason the he actuaklly found all of it. Some had flowed forward under the insulation foam blocks all the way to the firewall.
Looks like we have a winner!
@poids be on the lookout for something soon.
@poids Congrats - please tell us what they send you!
@Kyeh @poids for your sake, I hope is not the Trakk…or an IRK
@Kyeh I definitely well.
@Kyeh @ybmuG Apparently it is an Irk and the anti snoring item!
@poids @ybmuG
What?! You got it already!?
@Kyeh @poids tragic, and sadly perfect
@Kyeh @ybmuG Not yet but the magic 8 ball told me.
@poids @ybmuG OH, well then …
@Kyeh @poids @ybmuG
My sources say no
/8ball Are you ever wrong?
Funny, I recently did a screenshot of this but never got around to making a humorous post about it.
@lisagd yeah, I looked at that one and wondered who thought it was a good idea, too.
These would be more appealing for the same price without the speaker. With the speaker, I don’t trust it.
@poids So, did the mystery item show up? Was it shrouded in appropriate amounts of mystery? Was it as totally and entirely meh as the items in competition here? Desperately bored minds want to know!
@werehatrack There are actually 2 shipments. 50% arrived today and 50% processing. I will open and reveal once both are in hand.
Here is the big reveal!
It comes with obligatory p65 warning even though it says it is medical grade silicone.
@poids The State of California is known to the State of California to contain substances which cause cancer and reproductive harm. Nobody knows what or where all of them are, so everything has to come with a warning.
@werehatrack Classic cut off ones nose to spite ones face.
. Though no legendary coinage to accompany it. Maybe that will be in a future Irk.
(1) Adrienne Vittadini 3-piece luggage set.
(2) Four TrackRs to go with the Trakk.
(3) One Casey phone ring.
(4) Three power outlet replacement thingies for a desk.
(5) One blue bag.
(6) Quip classic toothbrush.
Thanks Thumperchick & team!]1
@poids I wish one of my irks would have a phone grip. I’ve gotten all the casery stuff except the one thing I’d use. Lol. Well they are irks I suppose.
@milstarr Keep playing the game. You’ll win one day!
@milstarr @poids I’m sure something can be arranged, given the number of them that have been IRKed out.
