Spooky Fast IRK Reveal (October 2020)
22If this came any faster, Doc Brown would have dropped it off in a DeLorean before I ordered it. My October IRK is here, only two days after the Mehrathon! And twice in a row I’m the first one to reveal, though I know there are mehtizens that live much closer to HQ.
Contents:
- Red IRK bag
- Yellow Asobu mug, building a collection of these
- Salon Quality Flat Iron Accessory Set
- PALM Coolers Tie Down Set, I bet it can tie down other things too
- A mystery gift which I bet is a tiny drone.
Thanks Meh, thanks to your warehouse and shipping teams, and to @Shawn for apparently creating a predictive AI to ship IRKs before they’re bought.

We’re twinsies @djslack . Not sure where you are in the metroplex, but I’m in Farmers Branch.
Same as yours except the cup color.
Thanks for the quick crap meh!
@bluebeatpete I’m in Louisiana. Shreveport area. I like that mug in brown but it won’t contrast with coffee much.
Nice twin photo, but the wood won’t make @zachhh happy
@bluebeatpete Mine is exactly the same as yours, but my mug is broken. I am super excited about the red bag though!
@bluebeatpete Me too. Everything new and unbroken. I received a mug with the handle broken in my next most recent IRK.
Nicely done, poorly-named Mediocre people.
@bluebeatpete After second person got the flat iron accessory set girlfriend started hoping for one… hope never works with irks!
@raccoon81 If you don’t get one - and my wife doesn’t want it, you can have it.
@bluebeatpete thanks for the offer, but looks like one can be picked up on Amazon for basically same price or less than shipping. Wish I knew how to ship cheaper.
@bluebeatpete Exact same shit here. They aren’t even trying anymore. On top of the VMP shade. WTF?
I got exactly the same thing that @djslack got including the yellow cup. I now have 3 yellows, one more and I’ve got a set. (Yuck!)
Edit: I couldn’t find any nice wood to display my IRK on, so no picture this time. I hope @zachhh won’t be too unhappy with me.
@Barney Exactly the same thing. If you want another yellow, let me know. Although I think they’re pretty awkward to hold.
@pooflady Thanks for the offer, but I figure that I’m probably in line for five more, which will give me a set of eight.
But seriously, mine are going to the goodwill store.
Yellow… WHY did they have to be yellow?
@Barney At least it wasn’t broken. I’m trying to figure out how to get coffee stains out of my white cups.
@pooflady Haha, I guess you are lucky?
Have you tried Bar Keepers Friend? It says it is safe on porcelain.
@Barney Hmmm. Thanks. I wonder if my Bar Keepers cooktop cleaner will work.
@pooflady Please let me know how this turns out.
Those look like exactly the same items I got the last time I got an irk (a couple of mehrathons ago.)
@Knightp It’s my second one exactly like this one.
Came today… FAST!
No pic, but:
Black Irk bag
Pads for an IQ massager (TENS unit?) (Does anyone want these?)
Breathalyzer (I don’t drink. Anyone want THIS?)
Gift bag
Some kind of a mat that has sticky tape on the back and says ‘Palm’ in the lower right corner (Does anybody know what it’s for?)
And a ScreenClean kit for display screens.
I’m sure it made sense to me to fork over $5 at the time, but in retrospect, I’m not sure I got my money’s worth. Five bucks worth of fun, I guess.
(We need to set up a website so that we can swap things, huh?)
@Tadlem43 someone on the last irk reveal thread was looking for more of those.
@Tadlem43 in the past one 0r two times someone set up a swap thread. Go for it.
@Tadlem43 the pad is for a palm cooler. I guess to make the lid a more comfortable seat.
@djslack Oh… ok… thanks. lol I had no idea!
@Kidsandliz More of what? The TENS pads?
@Tadlem43 yes - sorry I didn’t specify before.
@Tadlem43 I got the tens massage unit in my last IRK. I would take the extra pads assuming I ever use the thing…it is a bit strange.
@jchizmar Whisper your name and address and I’ll mail them to you!
@jchizmar @Tadlem43 use it, I have one and it is great!!
@tinamarie1974 I don’t have one. They just sent me the pads. I’ll pass them on to jschizmar.
But thanks for the heads up. If they ever send one to me, I’ll try it out!
@Tadlem43 oh sorry, that was for @jchizmar who said it looks strange and maybe they would use it…just some positive feedback.
@Tadlem43 I’ll have to try it, I messed with it a bit but had my doubts, I’ll have to try again. Something I’d never really own if it wasn’t for IRK
@tinamarie1974 lol NP… the way this forum puts the ‘replies’ is weird.
@Tadlem43
I was the one looking for the breathalyzer, I thought it would be fun to experiment with.
@Star2236 Oh, I’m sorry… it’s already been spoken for. Maybe PnkFld below has one?
@jchizmar @Tadlem43 If you haven’t tried the Tens, it is amazing for muscle/joint pain. Start slowly and build up. After about a half hour my lower back will be numb and I can move around easier.
@Tadlem43 Can I see the connecting wires for the TENS pads? I could use a new set. Mine don’t stick anymore
@andrewkl Sorry…they’ve been spoken for, but a few others have gotten the pads. You might see if they will let you have theirs.
To answer your question, they have a snap on them. Look down below 2 pics and you can see someone else’s. Mine look like that.
@andrewkl -If you don’t get new pads, you can try electrode gel to renew the stickiness and increase conduction. It is pretty cheap online.
Can’t vouch for this company, but it’s under $2 on sale.
Probably the fastest IRK I’ve received… and not quite the most disappointing. I received most of the same crap @Tadlem43 got:
This is from the last reveal thread. I didn’t get one this time. This is only my third one ever. Last time I got a bread maker, though, so that was salve for the wound of disappointment.
@katbyter cool IRK! I’ll give any tens pads a home if you can’t use them
@sarahsandroid Whisper me your address.
No picture from me. Got the same thing as the OP
Except
No irk bag in my irk…disappointing
My mug is a neon yellow inside
OK. Absolutely didn’t expect it this day! For a first IRK, it definitely could have been worse
!
and even comes with extreme velcro that might be strong enough to suspend a 5 year old! 
)
Red IRK bag (this thing is HUGE)
–new laundry bag
Cute Frozen gift bag
Vivitar smart device kitchen mount
–perfect for RV
Asobu mustard colored mug
–this is a cool cup. Wasn’t t sure I liked it. Not a mustard color fan, but this mug works well. It kind of grows on you. (Now I’ll be searching for 3 more for a set
And a Fraas pink plaid rectangle blanket wrap. This is sooooooo soft! Will use it daily this winter.
Thank you Meh! And it got here in time for anniversary! Woohoo! Happy happy October!
@sarahsandroid
And there may be circumstances under which the use with a 5 year old would be a better use of that too
@sarahsandroid OH I love extreme velcro! I use it for so many things, especially this hack!!
Much improved over last attempt.
Red IRK Bag - getting nice pile of bags
Frozen gift bag - untorn, can find kids that will be happy
Black Mitts - Not sure if frosty costume or what??
Promier Cordless LED Light, so bright! Certainly useful
King Bamboo King size sheets. Seems decent quality, deciding if I should gift or try out. Thicker than some others from here.
Girlfriend got her bag just as fast, but won’t come back to post, here is hers:
Red IRK bag
Steve shirt - seriously, is this steve harvey or something?
Asobu Brown mug - makes set of unbroken 4, 2 blue 2 brown for us
Palm Cooler tie down kit (gonna see if this works on my lifetime cooler)
Gift Wrapped Rocket RC drone - looks fun, easy gift.
Thanks for a bit of improvement over September, Guess I will keep my VMP for now.
@raccoon81 Yes the Steve is Steve Harvey who had show offers from sidedeals back when he had a show.
@Kidsandliz Oh yeah, forgot about his connection with side deals. At least makes some sense, not any easier to find a time anyone would wear that shirt. Thanks.
@raccoon81 Painting the house
@raccoon81 @sammydog01 I was just going to say that (painting) or doing something where the risk is high of wrecking it, getting grease on it… Or donate it to an animal shelter. Those folks will wear about anything at work since ruining clothes there happens a lot.
@raccoon81 you might want to open and check the drone before gifting it. I got one that was stone dead.
@RiotDemon it is completely sealed in the package. Might try cleanly opening it.
It is one you just hover using your hand under yo control it.
@raccoon81 @RiotDemon Those are fun if they work.
@RiotDemon so took advice, it seems to be having trouble coming on at all. I’ll tinker with it, but glad I did t try gifting.
@raccoon81 ingot this exact box with a size medium shirt and brown mug
@jchizmar would have been happier if the drone worked at all. Not sure might use the tie down straps.
@raccoon81, they are garbage…like I’ve never heard of one working as opposed to those that simply will not take a charge
@jchizmar @raccoon81 I had one that worked. And some that didn’t.
I got
A Frozen gift bag
A ceramic mug with broken handle
An Irk bag
A usb charger hub
An opene battery powered LED switch light (works and is bright. I stuck it inside a closet)
A win for the USB hub alone. Thanks.
My Irk is sitting on the front stoop at home and I’m at work. Shipping still shows 1 lb. weight, so I’m hoping it’s that bear family toy thing I didn’t get in the first fuko. Or cash, I guess.
@mossygreen
That would be monopoly money. Right?
@Kidsandliz Oh, I think Monopoly money would be too expensive, maybe the dollar-store play money kits?
@mossygreen True that (too expensive)…
A quick IRK, but a lame irk. I might have liked it more if I’d had to wait longer. Here’s the list:
Black Sac. (My second)
Palm Pad. (My second)
Dorcy flashlight (My second)
Windshield phone mount - broken (My second broken one)
A tiny light Sabre ( I treasure this unique gift)
My only regret is that I would have liked one of the red bags.
Red IRK bag
Darcy flashlight
Size J2/3 blue Claws
Tudia window mount
Polar Flowlink data transfer unit
Black IRK bag
Breathalyzer
Size J2/3 white Claws
Sofia the first gift bag
Meh Snap cable/build your own phone stand.
@owlhooter I got the same exact box except black Clawz
The red vs black bag uncertainty is giving me desire/despair!
FedEx tried their best to destroy this one!
I got:
universal wireless charger
light up vanity mirror
solar powered fountain pump
data transfer cable for a fitness watch
metallic green shopping bag
red IRK bag with a big hole in it
This was a pretty good haul, so I’m sure I got the holy bag to even it out. lol
@clonetek
Wow, you got a really good irk compared to the rest. I’ve wanted both the solar fountain and the light.
@Star2236 This is the best one in quite a while.
And this is why everything was all packaged up ready to go for quick irk shipping.
Record speed! I was surprised when the tracking said Tuesday, but at 8am it comes to me via FedEx? Holy Meh.
But, then I opened it and my excitement promptly dissipated.
I did get one of these cool rechargeable flashlights, but I have to say, this is the third one. Thinking this will be a gift to someone.
Meh Bag
TrackR pixel … have never used these before, have to do some looking into it.
A mini light saber? hmmm, not sure
And a replacement part for a TaC Brew Tea by Victor & Victoria? Water outlet? I think maybe to this? Perhaps?
And a super filthy set of earbuds. lol…so gross.
Oh, but wait, under the flap this was sliding around! WTH, I am sure some of you know the history of this??? Please enlighten me!
All in all, rather meh, but interesting!
Ok, the headset is this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/LG-HBS-730-Bluetooth-Headset-Retail-Packaging-Black/40980454 but looks to have rolled around on the warehouse floor for some time. I use apple airpods pro and don’t anticipate switching over. I might wipe these down with alcohol and throw them in the donation bag.
Flip side of the coin
@Dakini The “coin” is from the major toothbrush debacle from a long while back. People bought good brand of electric toothbrush. Company then said meh couldn’t sell them and I think said they wanted them back. Meh fought back. Meanwhile they couldn’t ship it. Meh eventually won. They sent all who had ordered and waited months that coin, a shirt and their toothbrush. The accuracy of some of the finer points may be in question and I am too lazy to go looking for the Schrodinger’s toothbrush thread… but that is the gist of it.
As a number of people covet that “coin” you could probably auction it off here and at least make the cost of your irk back… just sayin’. As a result some might say you won the
internetirk today.@Kidsandliz Thanks for the explanation!
@Dakini By the way they are individually numbered - I think people got the number that corresponded to where they were in order of who ordered first. HA! Just thought of this. You could claim this is an individually numbered limited addition piece of art. And then sell it to a dentist. There. Just upped the value of it even more for you. (grin).
Oh and what I thought was a light saber, thanks to my husband who suggested it otherwise, I looked it up. Here is the link. We are going to put it in the glove compartment of the car. https://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-LED-Flashstick-Blue/dp/B016B8U1QC
@Dakini @Kidsandliz
Coin is actually pretty cool.
@Dakini @Kidsandliz @Star2236 Envious of the coin. I’ve got a minor collection of challenge coins, but they’re mostly Schlock Mercenary.
@Dakini holy crap… you got a super-special Schrodinger’s Toothbrush Club coin! My favorite bit in all of the Quip nonsense was when Meh sent their own sketch artist to the courtroom. Effen hilarious!
Mediocre spent a small fortune on the coins.
STC Member #1422
@Dakini @Noddy93 I was thinkin they must have spent a small fortune in court costs!! Coin is pretty cool!
Well it came and was suitably disappointed. Pretty close to not being worth the time or effort to get crap that you have gotten before. Even Walter wasn’t interested in this junk.
Black IRK Bag
Green tote-got same one as last IRK
Phone stand-got one over a year ago
Screen cleaner-same one as last IRK
Breathalyzer-
FedEx seems to have lost my Irk. First they said ‘shipment exception’, the barcode label was unreadable and they replaced it. Now there’s no delivery scheduled. Pshaw!
Got exactly the same IRK as @djslack, right down to the red IRK bag. The Palm tie-downs are not something I ever would have thought of, but as it turns out I will actually be needing them in the next couple of months, so that was just a screaming bonus. Thanks!
@accumulator Well that Palm company sure knows how to accessorize their coolers.
@accumulator @Dakini Not so sure about that otherwise they wouldn’t have gone belly up and had to sell all their inventory of over priced accessories to meh.
@accumulator @Felton10 true
Well, at least it wasn’t even worth the unusually short wait! Super MEH this time.
Red IRK bag (size extra large
).
Phone mount
Drone charger (sans drone)
Wine stoppers (I thought a bottle WAS a serving…didn’t know people would ever need something like this??)
Discovery Flex Tech Buggy
All in all…not good, not bad, just Meh! Well done!
@Hskrjer99 A bottle is definitely a serving
Back IRK bag
Palm Cushion
Breathalyzer
Gift Bag
Small Flashlight
Monster Screen cleaning kit
So, if anyone purchased one of these coffee/tea brewers and wants this part, let me know:
I think this is a part to that
@Dakini If they want two spares I have one too from the last irk. And those wine caps that go with that wine kit thing they sold here a while back.
AWWW YEAH - the IRKs are arriving faster than ever and . . . dare I say . . . getting more awesome? A contradiction, I know.
Super, super solid. Five bucks well spent. Thanks, Meh!
MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
Got a IRK bag, best part of the IRK KIT! Got another flat iron (ps meh, my hair doesn’t need to be flattened even more lol) got another coffee mug (don’t drink coffee), another flying small drone (last irk I got one too and it didn’t work so have so expectations this one will work either), and another tie down. Truly regret kit-well named Meh well named !
@AttyVette somebody up a couple up wants the flat iron thing.
Edit it was @raccoon81
@AttyVette it’s not a flat iron, it’s accessories for the flat iron you already have! That makes it a win, right?
Looking at the shipping information I as expecting a 1lb box. Picked it up to bring it in and it was much more than 1. Inside I found a red IRK bag, an insulated tote thing, some decent looking Bluetooth headphones, a polar Flowlink data transfer unit (whatever that means), a teeth whitening kit that mildly scares me, and a 15 pound weighted blanket! Not bad for a $5 “1lb” box
My IRK disappointment arrived quickly and is as meh as anticipated:
Black IRK bag
Palm foam thingy
Popsicle gift bag
Tudia Window Mount
Dorcy mini flashlight
Not really worth the money, but that won’t necessarily stop me from trying to score an IRK in the future.
1 Red IRK Bag
1 Mug
1 Flat Iron Accessory Kit
1 Tie Down Strap Set
1 Mystery Gift “Motion Control Rocket” Anybody open theirs yet?
1 Cardboard Box
@Kyser_Soze A lot of people are finding the drones/rockets don’t work.
@Kyser_Soze I opened up one of the rockets before. It’s one of the automatic ones that hover over your hand. Mine didn’t charge so it went in the trash.
@Kyser_Soze @RiotDemon agreed, have gotten several of these, none of them took a charge…they’d only of lasted moments before the kiddo destroyed them, but it would of been nice for them to fly at least once…
@Kidsandliz Thanks for the info.
@Kyser_Soze my last drone rocket ( just like your wrapped one)’t didn’t work and suspect my new one in this irk won’t work as well. That’s what you received too!
got mine…
One red irk bag
One tan/brown Asobu mug
One Swiss Tech Mobile Key Tech charge sync, flashlight key chain
One mystery box with ‘motion control rocket’ silver color
One box of Salon Quality Flat Iron Accessories
Haven’t decided whether to open the motion control rocket or not…
(Will post pics when I get to the PC)
@kykazaa Open it and test it first if you plan to give it away. A number of folks are finding they don’t work.
1 Red IRK Bag- most excited about!
1 Mug- ok, I have 1 other in different color- not broken at least
1 Flat Iron Accessory Kit- thought it was a flat iron at first but then instant regret set in
1 Palm Tie Down Strap Set- any ideas what else this can be used for?
1 Wrapped drone- have a few of these- sad to hear something brand new aren’t working… was planning on Xmas gifts.
@cutiecupid15 received the same irk as you did- we are both irked now doubly !
1 red IRK bag
)
A package of TENS pads - which I can actually use
A package of platinum sonic toothbrush heads
A ABM wireless headset that says bad mic
A shower diversion valve (I think
Got mine, two irk bags, one red, one black, blue asobu mug, dorcy flash light, vestia wine stopper set, bytech wireless headphones, and a random mesh filter that seems to be uniquely unsuited to anything else in the box. I really want suggestions for my mesh filter…
@japraptor Double IRK bag!!! What does it all mean?
@japraptor @lehigh I got those filters too. No clue.
@japraptor @lehigh
IRK arrived today, heavier than usual. I had visions of 5 lbs of stale candy corn. Reality was … a bit better?
1 Concierge Collection queen tan cotton/poly sheet set
1 2-pack of solar pathway lights
1 purple (!) Ekobrew Keurig reusable filter
1 Frozen gift bag
1 red IRK bag
Thanks, meh!
@lehigh Why do you get all the purples?
1-Red IRK bag
)
1-blue mug
1-Recycled(used) Macy’s jewelry gift bag
17- little 2"x2" individually packaged black cloth filters of some kind???
12-Disneys Frozen large gift bags (perfect timing, I just ran out of the ones from one of last year’s IRKs. My friends were getting tired of getting everything in Frozen gift bags and were excited that I ran out. Hehehe, and so it continues, hehehe
My Regret:
A black full set of microfiber sheets, black meh bag, a gift bag, a TaC brew coffee filter, a 27 lumen purple Dorcy aluminum 3x aaa flashlight, and a tudia window phone mount.
Lets see, no full beds here, gift bags are cheap and who needs them? coffee filter maybe I’ll figure out something to filter with it, but probably not, flashlight… anyone shopping here probably already bought flashlights in their first month, just checked it out, has side magnets, but they won’t hold it on a vertical steel surface even without the batteries. Phone mount? windshields are a long reach across a dashboard now, so can’t see using it, I’ve got a vent mount.
@kevinrs I always keep beds of each size in case an IRK has sheet sets. Goal is to maximize the cost efficiency of the IRK no matter the cost
I got one of those discovery buggy toys that my 4 year old immediately confiscated, two sets of wine stoppers (to the goodwill box, I don’t drink), a broken suction cup mount, red meh bag, and a handful of small black filters (1"x2") with nothing indicating what they’re for.
So after reading these posts, I’m beginning to believe my first thought of “I was robbed”. I received a box that looked like it had been opened and then put back together. So after thinking I may have been box burgled, I then just figured it was a typical “meh” wrapping job. However, inside I found an almost hideous flannel scarf and a wrapped package of what I can only assume is a broken hover drone I received in the last IRK. I might be a little sad today. But my extending scrubbers are coming today so I can scrub away my tearful mascara streaks…
@kellie0896
@kellie0896
@kellie0896 Do you have a dog or cat? They would probably love that scarf.
@kellie0896
I actually like the scarf
@kellie0896 Mine was accordioned sideways and kind of like that but unfortunately I think everything was in it.
@kellie0896 OMG! A dented box. How will you ever justify your 4.99 a month?
Post the contents. Come on. (Although I already know since you have a heart you will get lucky. Gotta hook those new customers. Drug dealer 101.)
Mehhhhh - red irk bag (yay), non working flashlight even after i tried putting a battery in, window mount phone thing (not a fan of this style and i like not having the magnet in my phone case anymore so wireless charging works!), and a buggy bldg kit i’ll pass on to my oldest niece, and a wind stopping piece that requires another wine stopper kit to work (seems like a scam, get this but you have to buy that… lol).
Has anyone got anything of remote value yet? Even a singular dented tri-ply skillet? I guess they really want us to stop buying. The dumpster has to be located close to the warehouse, right?
@KNmeh7 This IS the dumpster.
another pretty meh one for me.
Breathalyzer Irk, Tens Pads meh, I Phone cord meh need to find a rich relative that owns an apple product, Light saber emergency light meh, and red Irk bag.
Truly I received an IRK. These are like lottery tickets, fun until you scratch off the ticket or open the box.
@cattylaq I received the same kit, this was my first IRK. My flashlight doesn’t even work (of course I supplied my own battery) lol. Does yours?
@ndenial
Battery not included but flashlight worked with new battery which cost more than the flashlight.
@ndenial Try reversing the battery. It works opposite of the way you think it should go! Also, a neat feature on the flashlight is the end with the flashlight pulls out to reveal a REALLY BRIGHT secondary light! COOL!!
@cattylaq This is the same IRK I got. Daughter owns an iphone so the cord was hers. Son likes the ‘light saber’, has a few already, has another now. I like the red bag, first one of that color I got.
What a nice IRK!
I got the black bag to match my other black bag, a flashlight with 3 AAA batteries that claims to be magnetic but can’t even hold its own weight, an electric hair brush (my wife tells me it’s a straightener my eldest daughter will love), some wine stoppers (which will fit my mead bottles) and a pair of True Wireless Earbuds!
Thank you very much!
IRK
@LexPendragon You want more stoppers? I have some you can have for postage.
@Kidsandliz I appreciate the offer, but its unlikely my three will get used.
I got my IRK super fast, but this time really disappointed. I got a red bag, a porcelain mug, 12 frozen gift bags, an empty Macys bag, and 13 individually wrapped black/foam things. I have no idea what they are, does anyone know?
@kcface I got the same thing. If nobody tells me what these black things are, I’m going to assume they’re food and hand them out to trick or treaters.
Pure garbage: purse strap without the purse, message pads to a massager I don’t own, broken flashlight. Threw it all away (except for the awesome red bag.)
POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@looseneck if you can unthrow out the message pads there are a couple of people looking for them on the various irk threads have reveals on them.
@Kidsandliz I found them and no dirt! I’ll try to find who needs them. Thanks Liz.
@looseneck I am sure the folks who want them will appreciate that!
Absolutely the worst IRK I’ve ever received and that’s really saying something. Broken torch/flashlight, LensClip Plus lenses for smartphones, Alcohawk Breathalyzer and a Meh cardboard phone stand and yet another black Meh bag?
@mehgrl The alcohawk is fun when you’re drunk, and you can always re-gift it at the holiday parties we’re not having this year.
@mehgrl Apparently the Nite Ize flashlights need very fresh batteries in order to turn on. Not sure if this will help anyone but I thought I’d mention it.
/giphy fresh batteries
Looks like those who got the buggy were the winners if you can call them that. The combination of monthly meh-athron plus more crap available from Morning Save has made the IRKs almost totally worthless. Other than the thrill of getting one-that is where it ends.
@Felton10 My last three IRKs (look at me, fancy!) Have made me seriously wonder the carbon footprint of sending absolute trash made of Chinese plastic to me. I mean, come on! This is ridiculous.
I thought Fukus were reserved for stuff that they didn’t have enough of to sell it as a daily deal, or returned, but now that they have a million sites selling the same crap, they literally are sending trash.
Again, did ANYONE, get anything of value?
@KNmeh7 I’ve gotten 16 IRKs et al and they have progressively gotten worse from stuff to doesn’t work to some worthwhile new stuff to like you said to basically crapola the last 4. Not worth the time or effort for this kind of “reward”.
@KNmeh7
I think there might be a reason why they changed their name to instant regret kits.
Thank you meh! The only thing missing is regret. Well, it may not be the most useful one I’ve received, but could be the nicest.
12 piece set of bone china, which doesn’t rattle.
Nice looking 8 inch knife, I like knives.
Gem tek airbuds,not my thing, but seem nice
Polar flowlink, useless to me, but I may know someone
Polar tie down kit, looks nice
And a RED IRK bag!
Thanks meh!
@D_a_v_e Wow, that china! Looks like you were the big winner here!!!
click this link, and what they are worth!
SWEET
@D_a_v_e
I opened the china, and it all looks ok. Somehow it got by the breakers at meh!
It does seem nice enough, plane white (what do you expect from ‘The White Company’), and the pasta bowls are interesting as I’ve never owned that shape before. Seems like it would be hard to eat cereal out of!
And of course they are made in China, but is that ok in this case?
@D_a_v_e I would most definitely use them, wouldn’t worry about being made in China. I worked for an organic bath products company and we had our stuff made in China. There are super clean and ethical companies over there. We only hear about the bad ones. My boss said he searched for a company in the US he could switch to, but none were as clean or as well run.
I’d say you got damned lucky with those dishes. Sells for 229.00 at that company I linked.
*A mug with broken handle
*A broken motion control rocket (Doesn’t take charge…)
*Flat Iron Accessory Kit
*A Swiss Tech Key Cable
*A Red IRK bag
I finally have received a real IRK.
No more IRK for me until start seeing everyone gets good stuff like use to be.
@jforkaz There are folks on here (scattered between all the irk threads that have reveals on them) who got the flat iron who might take that off your hands.
@Kidsandliz Kind sad but, that is true…
and Red IRK bag
@jforkaz
Man, there is a lot of negativity surrounding IRKs this month. I wonder if Meh staff getting ahead of IRK production and getting them out so fast took away some of the mystery and anticipation that makes this a fun thing to do. And I wonder how much Meh actually loses by cleaning out their warehouse four items at a time.
@djslack Or maybe when everyone gets a non functional drone thing, attachments for a flat iron no one owns, tie down straps that can’t actually tie down any serious cargo in your trunk or something functional, and broken mugs, people get negative!?!
Nah. It must be the mystery and anticipation.
@djslack @KNmeh7 Aren’t you the guy that complained bitterly on and on about not getting one because the VMP hour was no longer VMP?
@sammydog01 Man, what amazing critical thinking skills you have. I, obviously, received one, and you jump to the conclusion I was the guy complaining about not getting one? Incredible!
I complained that non-VMPs now get in the hour, and that they are sending out absolute shit.
CTRL+F = knmeh7 would have alleviated your confusion.
@KNmeh7 some people see the glass as half empty, some see it as half full of warm drano.
@KNmeh7 Sorry, my bad. You were bitching about non VMPs getting to buy Meh squishy pucks.
Waited 6 years for this shit
The above is making me nervous. My IRK was on a FEDEX truck for delivery yesterday.
After watching hopefully all day, about 6pm I saw the truck zip past my house?
A few minutes later computer information said “Delivery Exception”, followed about a 1/2 hour later note that it was back at the local station??
This morning it is back on a truck supposedly out for delivery???
@romellex that happened to me once. The adding insult to injury part was that instead of being the first delivery the next day I ended up back in the normal route queue, which happens to be the final drop off.
@j2 @romellex Driver had to go to the bathroom.
@j2 @sammydog01 I’ve got a bathroom. All she/he had to do was knock.
@romellex Congratulations! Mine had a delivery exception in Ellenwood GA on Sunday at 0204. No delivery date has been scheduled… It’s gone for good.
Sunday 10/11/2020
Arrived at FedEx location
2:04 am ELLENWOOD, GA
Shipment exception
Barcode label unreadable and replaced
@OldCatLady @romellex Replaced with the driver’s home address?
@romellex
It just arrived!
Great sized IRK bag.
Macy’s bag - alas, empty. But will be used at Christmas just to get somebody all excited.
Earbuds - I’ve 6 grandkids. Figure these will get me some leaf-raking.
Alcohol breathalyzer - grandkid parents might want. Or more grandkid leaf-raking to NOT give it their parents.
Very architectural cup - gift in Macy’s bag? Love the shape.
Now if I can just wait patiently for next event…
@romellex I got the same items, but my mug was broken. I tried to pair the earbuds to my phone and it says I need a pin or passkey, which I can’t seem to find. Definitely a meh Irk.
@iluvmingos @romellex try 0000… Or try the other ear bud. Only one pairs to the phone, and then the other one pairs to the first. If I turn both ear buds on, they both show up in the Bluetooth search, but only one will connect.
@RiotDemon @romellex Thanks! They are working now.
@iluvmingos
/giphy woohoo!
Red IRK bag ftw
Frozen gift bag (just saved me a trip to the store!)
Tan mug
Wireless earbuds
Red flashlight (I have a green one from a prior IRK - now I can market them as Christmas flashlights)
@j2 the frozen bag coming in clutch!
Mine came yesterday.
@kdstrong14 Um… cool story, bro?
Care to comment on the contents?
I got bedsheets, the same I got last time and couldn’t use. Also a Tudia universal car magnet. (Already have mount in car for phone) And a Polar Flowlink I can’t use. And a red IRK bag. According to my cat, the best thing about the package is the empty box!
@cedds Yes mine love those boxes as well.
@cedds My cats were upset that I missed out on the IRK this time. They always enjoy the boxes.
@cedds @gt0163c Well you know we could fix that for you. I am sure a number of us here have empty boxes we could send you
@cedds @Kidsandliz My cats would love that. I’m not sure I would agree. Filling up the house with boxes in which to nap, explore, chase each other, etc is probably their idea of fufilling their wildest dreams. I’m not so sure I would like that quite so much.
The IRK in all its glory magnificently displayed on a wood background for added enjoyment (read somewhere this is very important).
Red IRK bag (was hoping for one in this color).
Magnetic window mount (I use a vent mount for my phone).
Teeth Whitening Kit (I have sensitive teeth, so this is a hard pass for me).
Mini flashlight (haven’t tried it yet, but if it works, I will keep it in my car as a backup).
Dream At Home lounge robe. (This actually looks very nice. Will probably keep this).
I’m generally happy with scoring an IRK because for me, the thrill is in the hunt. The $5.00 (plus tax) is still worth it to me.
Got these packing cubes:
Dorcy flashlight.
Black IRK bag.
Another set of the bytech knockoff airpods (my third)
Another set of the vestia wine stoppers.
@RiotDemon
Those packing cubes look nice, I’m flying next month.
@Star2236 they are nice! I’d love to be able to go somewhere and test them out. I was pleased with my IRK.
It’s almost meh. You decide
Red bag, Clawz, window mount, putty, teeth whitening kit.
@walarney You got putty?!?!? Now I’m officially jealous.
@gt0163c UniCutie Light Up Putty. “Flashlight included!” “Changes from Peach to Purple!” “Choking Hazard!”
@walarney Ooo…good putty too. I hope you have fun with it!
@gt0163c @walarney That’s the putty I wanted, just not in the quantity I was required to buy. Congrats!
@walarney I’ve wanted to try that kind…love me some putty! My irk hasn’t shipped yet so there’s still a chance I can get a can or two…
Did anyone’s weird flashlight actually work?
@Bigbearballs
If you are talking about the Dorcy flashlight, mine worked. At least so far. I only put the batteries in today.
Irk came today and I’m surprisingly happy with it. I got
) fit me. They actually have nice stuff, I buy it from morningsave.
A set of spa slippers
Primula thermos to keep my water cold
Fake wireless earbuds everybody else got
Angelina sports bra that might (maybe
Black IRK bag, wanted red
All in all, I’m happy with what I got compared to the last two times. I would have take a breathalyzer just bc it would have been fun to experiment with when I’m bored.
Same IRK I received. Little floating drone toy wouldn’t work nor charge
Anyone who got the broken nite ize thing, if you write info@niteize.com and send a picture they will give you a new updated flashlight that will break as well!!!
@Bigbearballs lol. That was nice of them.
Ummm… What happened to this IRK? Literally a big empty box… Got an instruction video fo lo-bak trax, 3 fitbit bands, what I assume is the strap to carry the lo-bak trax, a meh popsocket, ant 2 flashlights… Is the lo-bak trax missing?
Mine showed up yesterday. Very Meh. Not exciting, but not garbage either.
I got a blue mug in a previous IRK, but I can’t remember if we kept it. When I asked my wife if she wanted to keep the brown one, she said “Let it go”. So I grabbed the gift bag and said “LET IT GO”???
@blaineg Looks like Altec Lansing is another in a long line of audio gear greats that’s just a name licensing shell now.
@blaineg
I like rose gold.
I was so confused when it showed up. I stood there wondering if I was just getting the previous irk… but remembered I already got that one.
Red irk bag (love!)
5x magnification mirror (would’ve been better if it wasn’t 5x, but it’ll do)
A king size ruffle sheet set in lavender (unfortunately, I dont have a king, but hopefully I can sell this and pay for a couple irks with it)
Replacement filter screen for the auto tea maker (which i actually have. One was refunded because the bottom carafe arrived broken, and the second one came in a previous irk)
Magnetic window phone mount that came fully sealed, yet still broken. Oh well.
I’ve definitely had worse (like used ear buds, and packs of press on eyeshadow), but overall they’ve really gone downhill over time. I’ve gotten really cool stuff in the past.
I received the following:
Not great, but not bad, just Meh!
Since I see multiple pictures with our exact IRK contents, I’m not going to add my picture to the list. It included:
Thanks Meh! This one might even more more meh than the last one we got.
Does anyone know what these this are, or are for?
@kcface pennies. United States currency, worth one cent. A United States dollar is equal to 100 of these.
The other thing, not sure. Hope this helps.
@kcface That’s a soul patch. You attach it to your chin below your lip. Hope this helps.
@jmoor783 @kcface So like a fake beard (I had to google that)? Not sure how that would look real. Looks more like a scrubby from the photos…of course what do I know? Not to mention scrubbies don’t come packaged like this.
@jmoor783 @kcface @Kidsandliz looks like a filter of some sort
@jmoor783 lol
@kcface Mediocrebot do you know?
You’re slipping, Meh. I am actually kind of satisfied with this IRK. I got a breathalyzer, a 4,000mAh power bank with a 4 in 1 cable, a nice long lightning cable, and a red light wand flashlight thingie, which is just like the ones I bought from Meh some time ago and really like. So… yeah. I ain’t even mad. Thanks!
@Pony That flashlight is cool! Did you realize the flashlight end extends out to reveal a SUPER BRIGHT 360-degree bonus light? If not, try it!
@IndifferentDude Yep, I am aware. They really are nifty.
@IndifferentDude @Pony Cool! I wasn’t aware, and I bought some a while ago.
Bit late on this but late is better than never:
Some Palm straps for keeping your cooler on your boat/rv/what have you, A hair straightener accessory kit, a mug (to go with the blue one I got from a previous IRK), a little drone (which I already had 4 of from a previous sale, none of which work, haven’t tried this one), and the red bag that the wife has already claimed as the orange one she was using is falling apart.
Mine still says processing… I want to be scared that they are cooking up something truly regrettable for me, but it’s probably just gonna be another broken mug and some king size sheets.
@Oneroundrobb Yeah, still no update on mine either. Maybe it means we’re getting pallets of plasma tvs?
@Oneroundrobb @Superllama7 The pallet of broken TV’s was in their first year. Yes there really was one.
@Oneroundrobb Same with mine…Trust The Process
@Oneroundrobb Hopefully no more broken stuff…wouldn’t mind getting king sized sheets tho.
Pretty Meh… nothing ridiculous, either side of the fence. I did get some wine stoppers for my vacuum unit. I guess the other machine can also qualify as a wine stopper too (stop at 0.08 BAC or else!)
Anyone else get that mug with a broken handle? I was sad, but I’ll try and sand down the little nubbin’. Been using it to mix spices in for meat rubs
@tourdawg
Wow, aren’t you resourceful.
I got a set of bed sheets, 4 led lanterns, a green insulated bag, a red irk bag , a lighted magnifying mirror and a polar flowlink data transfer cable
How do you get these.
@yayaCate they show up on days where they have Mehrathons. You have to be quick. Really hard to get.
@RiotDemon @yayaCate Not too hard to get. I’ve unfortunately snagged 7 in a row.
Maybe someday my horrible streak will end!! 
@IndifferentDude @yayaCate judging by the complaints I see in the threads, it’s hard to get. I’ve gotten a bunch too but a lot of people haven’t gotten any, ever.
I got mine awhile ago but didn’t open it, as the whole thing was a gift for the boyfriend.
It turned out to be:
the same mug as others here, but with a copper color inside, and also NOT BROKEN. Bonus.
Black irk bag.
Set of socks.
Frozen themed gift bag
Used headphones that so far appear to be broken.
$5 well spent, in my book.
Jackpot!! Black IRK bag, TENS massager (wanted), 2 pairs of B&W headphones (eh, ebay maybe?), and one (matching!!!) pair of Hunter rain boots, size 9. They’re exactly the wrong size for anyone in our family, but should fetch at least $50 around town. Thanks meh, this makes up for that time I got a single cushion for a child’s lovesac set!
@Superllama7 PS the headphones are heavily corroded, so I can see why they got IRKed. Still work, though, so still a win
Cool IRK with Sunday delivery!
Black IRK bag
Tens massager
Car pillow massager
Two pairs of headphones.
All in good working order!
Thanks Meh!
