SPOILER ALERT - SideDeal Valentine’s Mystery Bundle Reveal
9Package arrive yesterday afternoon on Valentine’s Day. I got this as a gift to myself for missing out on the prior IRK. Grrrr. 
Here are the three items:
6 Super Major Oatmilk bars 6, value $7.50
SideDeal 24 for $29.99
Curtis Stone Wine Pump and Chiller Set, value $15.00
eBay $15.50 includes shipping
amazon $22.99 currently not available
Made-in Glassware
50 oz Wine Decanter, value $99.00??
Made-in website madeincookware.com $99.00
amazon, which links to a made-in store $99.00
Total estimated value $121.50, SideDeal’s value $168.00
Made-in is a high end cookware and glassware company based in Austin, TX. The glass, though seems rather thin. Don’t know how durable it is. The description of the decanter on their website:
Crafted by artisans who have been producing the world’s finest glassware since the late 1800s, the Decanter is free of lead and heavy metals to be more durable and create a colorless clarity. We designed the Decanter with you in mind—the surface area is large enough to accelerate aeration, yet compact enough to avoid crowding your table.
Like the rest of our barware, our Decanter is made from high-quality crystal glass that’s handblown in Italy. For the home bar or bar cart, wine enthusiasts will find it’s as essential as a beautiful wine glasses set.

Very nice items! However I’m glad I didn’t bite. Dry household here so, yeah. I would’ve eaten the chocolate and that would’ve been bad for my pants.
I almost jumped on this because I didn’t get an irk. Glad I “second thought” about it.
@milstarr If eating chocolate is bad for your pants you may be placing the bar in the wrong location. Please check with a trustworthy friend on this issue.
@txag96 Allow me to rephrase, bad for the size of my pants.
As the butt grows could be a sitcom or soap opera!
It looks the kind of thing that is a great deal if it’s what you want. The wine pump and chiller is interesting, not a bad price at it’s regular price, but that’s the only item I would have really wanted, and so I don’t think I would have got my value-worth from the mystery box.
I probably will use the decanter as a flower vase.
@naturallia Great idea. Perfect place for my rosé.
@naturallia @rcwbbb what a great idea. I am mostly dry and thinking of getting rid of my decanters. Repurposing as flower vases is brilliant
Should have been an irk because I instantly regretted
@Leximus25 people who drink a lot of wine would probably love it. Would have been better marketed as a Wine-Lovers mystery bundle.
@Leximus25 @OnionSoup There were some clues in description. But SideDeal can’t give too much away.
Picture transforming your favorite vino into a symphony of flavors but also embracing yourself for a heavenly sweet treat.
Still have two bottles of 2019 Cheer from meh. And haven’t touched the 6 bottles from 2020 Cheer. Don’t a Chiller or a Decanter so this will be used.
@Leximus25 @OnionSoup
Yes, poor marketing on their end.
What the hell is a wine pump?
Is that how you get the wine from the bottle into the cardboard box?
@G1 Had to check. When I did a search, wine pump was used to describe two separate items.
Wine pump, also called wine saver. Wine stopper, which has a few holes and acts like a one way valve, goes in the bottle. Small hand pump fits on top of stopper. Pump sucks air out and the wine is preserved.

Wine pump, also called air pump wine bottle opener. A little complicated to describe but pump sits on top of bottle and pumps air into the bottle and forces the cork out.

I first read that as “Super Mario …” and I was excited. Then I read it properly and was disappointed.
Not that I expect they’re bad, just not as exciting.
@xobzoo Sorry to disappoint. Although I did receive a Mario Brothers T-shirt from the IRK just prior to this last one.
@xobzoo Mario bars? Much would depend on whether mushrooms were involved, and what color.
@werehatrack @xobzoo Red & green are good.
Purple?

Wine items will be gifted or donated – (sigh…)
Chocolate is dark chocolate with no sweetener in it. The wine stuff will make a gift for someone.
