Ten Year Anniversary IRK Reveals
10Mine just shipped. Showing 1 lb so don’t think it’s the pallette of claws I had my heart set on. I’m thinking 15 trackers one single left over noodle from the pasta drop that fell out of a bag, orange meh towels for all and a meh bag but for this special one it’ll be a cheap grocery plastic style that instead of thank you it just has meh meh meh meh on it.

That is just the “holding” weight and size. Often it never changes and usually what you get is way different.
Reveal threads are usually started by the first person who gets an irk delivered and then posts about it. Maybe flag a moderator to change your title to “Shipping thread”. We’ve had those a lot of times.
Mine shipped too… Usually I’ve had better luck with ones that shipped early as opposed to late, so keeping my fingers crossed for a box full of Badger Statues.
@OnionSoup
Mine shipped too and I agree I have had better luck with the ones that ship early I am pretty excited, even though I know better.
@Dakini we’re out of ways to tell people to expect disappointment.
Mine says it was just delivered
Colorado address
@thechinglish oh hahahaha my mistake, gmail marked it as delivered. It just got shipped.
@thechinglish mine said that too, it threw me off
@thechinglish I’ve had that happen before. The warehouse put the wrong tracking number on my order. It eventually got straightened out.
Mine is on its way also-I fear this early shipping means they wanted to make an example of me like koolhandjoe did several times and either ship me something that related to my critical comments or something really crappy.
Either way-I expect I am going to be more disappointed than most.
@Felton10 oooh you got some coolhandjoe ones?! Any of his special creations?
@Sneakertree no not one his creations-had to go to esty to buy one, but he did monsterfy an elmo and send it to my daughter for free. She collects elmo has over 1,000 of them. Just a lot of silly IRks based on comment made like the one that had each item in the IRK in its own box including the bag.
@Felton10 @Sneakertree that is truly horifying…seeing that many elmos staring at me at once… not the monster elmo.
@OnionSoup @Sneakertree he is at the bottom of the picture-sort of like where is waldo.
@Felton10 ooh he’s awesome. I got a monstrofied barbie in an IRK. Scared my hsuband when i squeeled with glee.
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
@Sneakertree My daughter didn’t like it-the teeth freaked her out. This is the one I bought-Ashley the arsonist.
@Felton10 damn! He did a phrnomenal job a bit too good even. Thats nightmare fuel.
@Felton10 What are the teeth made out of? They are horrifying!
@milstarr Think he told me at one point but can’t remember what he said.
@Sneakertree We have her sitting out next to the TV in the great room-our granddaughter was so scared of it we had to relocate it to our closet while she was visiting.
Others who have seen it have had various reactions-other than the obvious as to what type of weird people would buy something like this and display it for all to see.
@milstarr
Why, they’re made out of teeth, of course!
You don’t think you get to this level of creepy and not just have a way to get your hands on some teeth, do you?
@Felton10 thanks for these memories. Both Elmo and Ashley are superb!
@djslack @milstarr Like I said I don’t remember exactly what he said but he definitely didn’t say they were real teeth.
@djslack @Felton10 @milstarr
They may not be REAL teeth but they sure do look real and THAT is what makes it even MORE creepy!
Mine shipped today too. Michigan bound so… maybe Saturday arrival???
Fingers semi crossed. This is 1st real irk I have picked up in a while. The past 2 or 3 special priced irks have been awful at best. I have been fortunate enough to have a pallet of boxes delivered to my house along with some other major items since my woot! days, so I don’t need that type of surprise anymore. I just enjoy getting g something decent I can use or sell!
Mine also shipped today — not sure what happened to “This IRK will take longer to ship than normal,” but I’m not complaining! Unless I end up receiving a box of random crap. Then I’ll complain, because what would I want with a box of random crap?
@agnesnutter love the username btw
I regret to say that my IRK shipped today as well. No delivery date yet.
This is my first IRK, and it just shipped. FedEx claims I’ll be getting it Friday. I’m pleasantly surprised that it’s in the mail this early.
@dappermh Welcome! Hope you get something really regrettable (good
) in your first IRK! 
@dappermh mine claims Thursday delivery… but the last update had it still in Texas, so I don’t believe for one minute it will get here tomorrow.
My Irk Arrived!
/giphy trerrified-cursive-nickel
It was from the first offerings, when the servers were down and came back up, got it linked through the forums.
Fabric steamer
Toilet brushes
3pk socks
Expired hand sanitizer
All this was shipped in a box that was 3x larger than needed and was sadly lacking a bag, I was hoping for one of the latest white or red ones.
Thanks, MEH !
@lonocat decent haul and I love the socks!
@lonocat you can pre-steam your toilet stains
@lonocat contract support to get your bag.
Mine arrived today!
1 White Woot Bag *(not in photo)
1 Key Tracker (TrackR_pixel)
1 Hand Sanitizer Gel
1 Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender
6 Boxes of Expired Gluten Free Spark Strawberry Cereal
@Games2263 a woot bag?
@Cerridwyn @Games2263 a woot bag would be extra regrettable. Irk bags are better.
@Games2263 Not expired, they’re just not at their best
@troy Did they ever have a credible “best”?
@werehatrack Not the most amazing cereal but still tasty. I just opened one of my strawberry boxes and it doesn’t taste stale to me
@troy My S.O. pronounced it meh as cereal but acceptable as an inoffensive unchallenging hand snack. I tried some and found it easy to put down and ignore. Perhaps the possums won’t get it.
@Games2263 I thought they sent you that sex pillow wedge. Along with the boxes of “scan me for fun.” But that would be a whole lot better than meh.
Irk arrived today. Not too much regret
White irk bag
6 boxes of cereal. I did find a local food pantry that takes things slightly out of date. The one run by Jewish family services and luckily this is kosher.
Doggie treats, cats say, wtf dude!?
5 trackrs in one package
And the best usable thing. An anti fatigue mat. If I could replace the floor in my kitchen with nothing but these, I would.
Thanks meh!
Adrienne Vittadini bag, which will be delabeled before use.
Besanté Honey Bee Venom Night Cream, WTF?
Cusinart Mini Processor
Green IRK bag with purple logo
Case (six boxes) of Off Limits Spark cereal. (Will the possums eat it?)
@werehatrack why “de-labeling”?
@werehatrack I had almost the same Irk
@tinamarie1974 “Adrienne Vittadini” was the licensing outfit’s attempt to recover value from overcommitted orders for merch that wasn’t selling under its original “Ivanka Trump” branding. Although Vittadini was a real designer (from Hungary), her brand was bought out in 2001 and no longer represents its namesake. At this point, the label is just another way that a big company gets people to pay them to carry around advertising for a brand whose significance has been reduced to zero or less. (I don’t do actually-fashionable premium brands either.) (Although given how it subtly broadcasts that the IT brand was a failure, I’d leave the labeling on it were that fact more widely recognized.)
@werehatrack I knew about the IT/AV rebranding, I thought it was rather well known. But my viewpoint is I simply choose to not purchase the brand or utilize their items. If/when I receive one I simply donate and continue using my designer bags, which I don’t really consider IT/AV designer, but maybe that’s me
I’ve often seen this hierarchy, which I more or less agree with (I might adjust one or the other from my POV, but it is directionally correct). Btw, if anyone wants to donate a Hermes bag I will gladly use it
https://www.mastroluxe.com/blog/trend/luxury-bag-hierarchy
When my S.O. saw the mini-Cuis, he asked “Don’t we already have one of those?” I noted that it had been a Kitchenaid, and hadn’t been used, so I’d recently given it away to friends who lacked appliances of all types. The Kitchenaid had mysteriously arrived after I gave away an even older one that was based on a Hamilton-Beach blender motor. And now we have this one instead. Clearly, there is a one-mini-food-processor-shaped hole in spacetime on our kitchen counter, and this kind of appliance will keep appearing if we try to not have one. (A similar kind of hole in spacetime can form whose shape is an orange cat. There are several stories about the discovery of such spacio-temporal rifts and their insistence upon being filled.)
@werehatrack I think putting venom in the name of something that they want you to put on your body is a bad choice. You’d think that would have been caught before it went to market. Or is it just me?
@milstarr @werehatrack Did you see the face roller thing that @sammydog01 got a few Irks ago? Covered with “microneedles?” It seems like they think that suggesting torture is considered a plus.
@werehatrack Oooh, green and purple!
@milstarr it might be just you. The very popular Botox is just a shortened form of what it is: botulinum toxin.
@djslack Yeah, I’d never do that either. Don’t want any form of botulism.
Arrived today!
6 packs of dried jackfruit
2 collagen boosting syrums
1 keto cookie mix
1 micro USB car charger
1 pig tree face bird feeder
1 blue IRK bag with yellow print
It’s what it’s
@nikodrant I have the pig /and the cow face like it.
We have two dogs, one we call our Piglet (because pre-diet she looked like a pig), her name is Maple. We have another dog we call our cow (because one of the sounds she makes sounds like a cow mooing)… She’s called Cherry.
I couldn’t resist getting the cow and the pig and sticking the cow on a Cherry tree and the pig on a Maple tree in honour of our dogs… Both faces have lost an ear… No idea where they went.
@OnionSoup uhhhhh puppy pics please! And thank you.
@nikodrant Will the birds eat the jackfruit?
@werehatrack that’s my hope, and that the spice keeps the squirrels off them. If not, I’ll have to distribute them to my more adventurous, less mediocre friends
Mine arrived today, first irk in a while.
All stuff was claimed by the fiancé, and I can’t help but think Meh thinks I’m a woman? Cause the last one had a bunch of women’s clothing.
@Grimskull89 Luck of the draw. There’s no attempt to match up boxes with users, it’s purely a crapshoot. (There was a time, in the long-ago past, when such stuff used to happen to specific users For Reasons, but I haven’t seen any such customizations for a while now. And I doubt that there will be any going forward.) (I could be wrong.) (But if it happens, I suspect that I won’t be the recipient. I’m both too annoying for anyone to care about, and not annoying enough to be worth turning into a Target.) (And all of my jokes go splat. Most of them do it without even being recognized as jokes. Funny people get pranked more often.)
Mine shipped. Says delivery tomorrow. My money is on Sat/Monday
Well I would lose that bet, FedEx says my box it out for delivery TODAY
Wow, these are already so regrettable, fuck. Birthday ones used to be secretly not all fucking awful. I’m so excited for my shit show to arrive in a few days!
@studerc honestly… Hoping mine is better than many revealed here, but fear it won’t be…
I too was hoping birthday ones would be a little better… And maybe contain something meh branded.
Either way… Ways a good laugh (except when it isn’t)
Showed up this afternoon.
I also got 6 boxes of cereal. Either the box we opened was stale or it’s just not something I like. It seemed to leave a weird aftertaste.
The usual bag, hand sanitizer and tracker.
A different tracker thing that fits in a wallet. I’ll have to check if that company is still functional and if their product works.
And another cuisinart coffee maker (this is the 3rd one I’ve gotten in an IRK).
@remo28 That DifferentTrackerThing looks like the one that only works with an iPhone, where TrackRs only work with a third-party app that’s Android-only. SSDP. (Same Situation, Different Platform).
@remo28 3rd coffee maker?! They keep sending me puffy coats - I think I’ve gotten at least 3 of those.
@remo28 Heh - we could call them “Instant Reget Kits,” like the one in this AI picture:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/showme-v2001#6692c7b4ee70ded6dd4c7411
@remo28 hey! those smart card trackers are nice! I bought a 2 pack on meh a few months ago, good score there.
@Kyeh I’ve gotten 2 or 3 coats as well. I think my daughter took one, and donated another. I also got an electric coat around the house still. Same daughter also took one of the coffeemakers.
@remo28 Nice that you got coats that fit someone; one of mine did but the other 2 were too big.
My haul included:
Thanks so much. All items I can use and the fifth one goes to mom. Much appreciated!
Didn’t take picture sorry, but got a Dash stand mixer.
https://www.amazon.com/Delish-DASH-Compact-Beaters-Included/dp/B08F2V1GDS/
Seems like almost a kids toy version of a mixer, might give to a kid that is old enough to understand it actually works.
Then a green bag.
@raccoon81 I just noticed the sold by there. I had no idea Sidedeal sold things on Amazon.
What mercatalyst should do is create a new company… Call it definitelynotsidedeal and then sell everything on there for twice the MSRP… Then when they sell the item on meh or Sidedeal they can advertise “50% off the Amazon Price” and link to definitelynotsidedeal sale page.
@OnionSoup Wow, that is interesting, had no clue they sold that way as well. I didn’t search sidedeal if they had previously carried this mixer either.
Why are you sharing your genius ideas to them for free!
Well well well. First IRK without any small bleh fillers.
That’ll do, Glen, that’ll do.
(9.5 year VMP member, still don’t know how to post pictures)
@thechinglish
… I sense a meh reply incoming.
Maybe Mediocrebot needs to respond to expired claims… Lol
If on phone, turn phone sideways before hitting reply…
You will have extra buttons.
@OnionSoup I tried that, and using Chrome on iOS, no dice
@thechinglish I don’t have iOS unfortunately… But looks like this on Android. The mountain and moon icon is the upload picture button…
Maybe some apple users have tips to make it show on iOS. It might have something to do with size of screen
@OnionSoup @thechinglish Exactly the same on my iPhone:
@Kyeh @thechinglish another idea then if that’s how you do it in iOS too but not working for you, is to turn “desktop site” mode on… Then you get the buttons (even in portrait mode)
@OnionSoup @thechinglish I tried that but it didn’t make any difference on my phone.
@Kyeh @OnionSoup you won’t believe this, but even after requesting the desktop site version, I have none of those options. Are you using Chrome?
@OnionSoup @thechinglish
I’m using Safari.
@Kyeh @thechinglish yes. Using chrome. But Android. Desktop site version gives me the buttons regardless of phone orientation.
@Kyeh @OnionSoup @thechinglish I also use safari but have noticed you need to have the phone sideways before hitting reply. Turning the phone sideways after the edit box is open doesn’t get me the photo option. (@Onionsoup already said that, just wanted to make sure you caught it.)
@OnionSoup @sammydog01 @thechinglish
Good point.
@OnionSoup @thechinglish
You do have to turn your phone BEFORE you start to post in order to see that square with the mountains.
My first ever IRK. All the items I got have been pictured above:
Very regretful.
My package arrived right on time today (surprisingly!). Charlie and Uncle Buddy were at the door in a flash, ready to keep the FedEx driver in check. Their strategy paid off—the driver swiftly dropped off the package and departed without any fuss. I quickly retrieved the parcel from my doorstep and brought it inside. Uncle Buddy, sensing no further danger, promptly retreated to his cozy spot in the living room. Meanwhile, Charlie took his role as Head of Security seriously, thoroughly inspecting every inch of the box before declaring it safe!
Upon unpacking, I discovered a delightful assortment of items neatly tucked inside:
All in all, for just $10.00, I snagged a new mixer and a stylish bag, while mom got quite the haul. And thanks to Charlie’s vigilant watch, the whole delivery went off without a hitch!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEH!!!
@tinamarie1974 I see CD is still in his collar - I hope his razor burn is healing up okay?
@tinamarie1974 At least you got a dog in yours. Oh that is Charlie. Never mind.
@Kyeh seems to be doing well. I think Ill try taking the collar off tomorrow. Hopefully he wont mess w it too much. Thanks
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 Poor pup but better than the old cones, right?
So far no home runs and no real duds. All seem about the same. You would have thought meh would have included something special in some of the IRKs for their 10th birthday celebration.
I got a dreametech cordless stick vacuum. The box was a bit mangled, but everything seems to be fine inside. There was an IRK bag and a 5-pack of trackr pixels tucked inside the box. Thanks, Meh!
@Pony
Nice vacuum.
Bathroom scale that appears to be new but not many reviews so no idea how accurate it is.
Small water bottle
2 things of collagen cream that I’ll never use that has no expiration date so who knows how old it is
King pillow protector. Unfortunately all my pillows are standard.
Blue irk bag with yellow - YEA!
Thanks meh
Not the most exciting IRKs and probably not worth the entry fee this time… But can’t win them all.
6 boxes of… “Expired” cereal.
A box of “expired” jackfruit.
A plastic water bottle.
A cow face for a tree… This is the only “yay” in the box… Already have one, but plenty more trees.
And a pretty blue bag
The cereal isn’t great but it’s edible.
The cereal isn’t great, but it’s edible.
@OnionSoup And your cat got a very fine box, as @gt0163c would say.
@Kyeh @OnionSoup My cats have definitely been missing out on very fine boxes recently. Even the Amazon fairy has been delivering things in bubble/paper mailers.
@gt0163c @OnionSoup Aww - will you be getting an Irk?
@gt0163c @Kyeh @OnionSoup I missed the photo op of my cats in my box. Box was huge and was mostly just full of empty space. Cats took off when I came with my phone to take a photo. My one who chewed on meh bags died a couple of years ago at 3 weeks shy of 20 so if she had still been alive she wouldn’t have left, but I guess nothing in there smelled interesting enough for the two who jumped in the box to stay put. They were in and out of it until I tossed it after I emptied it but I didn’t feel like getting up to take a photo then.
@Kyeh No IRK this time. I cancelled my VMP membership a handful of months ago when I realized that I realized the regret of my mehmbership was greater than the regret of my purchases. During recent Mehrathons the extra shipping/Mehmbership cost has kept me from purchasing things. So it hasn’t made sense to purchase an IRK. I regret missing out, but I have less regrettable stuff in my house. So, aside from the lack of very fine boxes, I think it all mostly evens out.
But I do need to go to Sams this weekend or next. I’ll have to remember to pick up a couple of boxes for the kitties.
Got the bag, nice
2 collagen helpers
Workout bottle
Cute chicken face bird feeder
Ugh strawberry cereal
Really nice blanket!
Well this isn’t the best IRK I ever received, and certainly not the worst, but probably the… oddest.
(Not included in the IRK but came the same day - meh. towel!)
I think meh wants me to do an indoor computer camping adventure
I received:
Green IRK bag - my fave color!
6 pack of Spark Cereal
1 expired hand sanitizer
1 AquaSonic electric toothbrush
1 very soft polyester robe in green/white
Happy Birthday Meh - thanks for sending me the gifts!
I’m going to be lazy because I didn’t take a photo when I had it unpacked, but I got the luggage!
Read this in the voice of Rod Roddy, please:
This Solite Surrey Collection 3 Piece Hardside Luggage Set is ready to roll all the shit you care to bring through two separate terminals on opposite ends of the Atlanta airport as you rush to make a 20 minute connection on your all-expenses paid flight to sunny, beautiful Carrollton, Texas! There you will have luxury accommodations for 3 days, 2 nights in the back room of an exclusive, luxury e-commerce warehouse and former t-shirt printing facility! And snacks are on us: enjoy dining on all the strawberry cereal free cereal and dried chili flavored jackfruit you can stuff in the included blue and yellow IRK bag! All this can be yours if The IRK Is Right!
Ok. I didn’t get a trip but I did get the 3 piece luggage set, but in a color assortment. Blue, plum, and black. The luggage seems really nice. And I did get the electric blue and yellow IRK bag too!
Thanks Meh! And happy 10th!
@djslack Aw, no photo of the luggage?
@Kyeh so it was in the original box. I got it on my lunch break. The box said plum so I thought this would be a great surprise for my sister. I pulled it out and the luggage was all bagged, but noticed as I took them apart that they were each different colors and only the middle one was plum. There’s the regret part of the kit. Though I quite like the dark sapphire blue big one.
I had to get back to work so I bagged and nested them back and put them back in the box. Tonight I remembered to post but don’t have time/drive to go haul them back out.
But here’s what they look like:
Also, they are nicer than the luggage we currently use… But they don’t match. So we will see what my wife thinks. But there’s only room for one set of luggage in our life methinks so one or the other will have to be rehomed.
@djslack
Thanks. I’d have no problem with the varied colors myself - it’s not like they have patterns that are wildly mismatched. But maybe your wife disagrees. Nice score just the same! And I agree that the blue looks the best.
@djslack nice! I finally got to use my luggage (well, at least the carry on) the last couple weeks and it worked well… Different brand but got in a previous irk.
Best part when they arrived was my kids shock and excitement seeing the nested suitcases. I guess they didn’t realize there were 3 and thought it was amazing they were inside
.
@djslack “One dollar,
BobDrew.”@djslack @KNmeh7
Only thing about mismatched luggage is you have to remember all the different colors you have when you go to grab your luggage off the belt. Otherwise you’ll get to the hotel and find out you have a suitcase of giant dildos. But not if you grabbed those fancy meh luggage tags. They were sold out by the time I went to grab one.
@Star2236 some would say that might be a feature, not a bug.
The baggage claim thing is a good point. We’re mostly road trip folk but may occasionally fly as a family. I have one of those Zuca bags Meh sold for when I fly and it’s got custom high vis stripes on it so I can’t miss it. It looks like an oilfield worker’s coveralls now.
@djslack Are you speaking from experience, @Star2236?
@djslack @Kyeh
No, I watch to much boob tube lol. Like in meet the parents when De Niro breaks into fockers luggage and finds a bunch of adult toy stuff but it’s not really his luggage.
@djslack @Star2236 I was so mad I missed out on those zucca bags. I wanted one and they were sold out already. Ugh mehmories.
Mine showed up yesterday:
Same cereal as others (Daughter has a gluten intolerance, so will see if she likes it)
Fabric Steamer (Kids will probably use it for forensics)
LED Light Strip (Might use for rail lights on the porch)
Cross Body Bag ($95 on the website direct, so ok)
Tan IRK bag
@billlbo I’m digging that purse!
Mine comes tomorrow (supposedly) but I’ll be up north. I’ll be happy with some king pillow case protectors and a couple toilet bowl brushes oh and a pig bird feeder.
We got:
1 IRK bag
1 Okay quality yellow plastic water bottle
3 collagen serums (Wife tried, doesn’t seem to do much, but we approached with low expectations.)
2 women’s panties (Which don’t fit my wife or kids, and aren’t my style.)
1 pig-face bird feeder, for nailing into a tree when I feel like harming a tree. (Pictured in another IRK above)
Regret accomplished. The bird feeder alone will save us from shopping for our next “white elephant” gift.
I got this power station! Pretty cool, thanks Meh!
@spleener they were supposed to put that in my box! LOL
Pretty decent haul:
Obligatory Meh Bag
Rubber Wolf mask (guess I’m going as Elden Ring’s Blaidd for Halloween)
Neck Massager - Device works, not a fan of the electro pads that you’re supposed to stick on your back
Flamingo Tumbler w/ Straw
Smart light bulbs
Got my IRK.
6 boxes of almost fresh Strawberry cereal! Air jump sneakers that may be my size though not my style. A snazzy hydrating face stuff that sells for like 59 on Amazon aaaand a pretty rose gold watch by London fog that will hopefully land me in some decent graces with my MIL! Fingers crossed!
@Sneakertree
Id wear those sneakers, I’m just a 7 so not my size. I love the K-Swiss tubes so I like the bottoms of them.
Maybe they sent them to you bc of your name lol
My IRK arrived this morning before I left for work
Compared the the last 3 or 4 IRKS I have received, this one caused only mild regret
@bblood
I hope I don’t get any cereal, I’d rather have poops a lot cereal; at least that would be beneficial lol
Pretty much what others got except a pretty ugly purse. I do have a friend who wants the fabric steamer and 2 boxes of cereal (she is gluten intolerant). The rest will be donated to the free store at university in town.
@Dakini
Hey take cats too lol
I will contact support. On top of the bag, I am disappointed in the lack of meh branded merch. However, not much regret for a normal IRK. For 10th Anniversary… regret.
@KNmeh7 I was hoping/expecting to get some Meh branded merch too
@cbilyak @KNmeh7
I know! I’m surprised NOT to see at least a few irks of all meh merch, that’s what i was hoping for. Maybe they’re trying to sell it again?
@cbilyak @KNmeh7 @Star2236 Probably are selling the stuff multiple times before we get the “leftovers”.
So, I’m watching what folks get and thing there would be nothing more useless to me than a designer handbag. I have pockets, I’m fine, thank you.
It arrives. I pull stuff out.
Okay, blue and yellow IRK bag.
Stitchless socks, I like socks.
A couple of trackrs
And this. This was an absolute “hold my beer” item. If anyone is interested in it (it’s brand new), it’s a medium, taupe color.
@lisaviolet I got one of those in grey a while back. I gave it to a friend, she was thrilled. I don’t get it. lol
@lisaviolet
Why don’t you want a long Coat? You live in Florida or something? Michigan winters suck and that thing would be like wearing a heated blanket in the snow. I’ve never received one but would be happy. What do you want for it? Unless someone else wants it?
@Star2236 inland San Diego. Never cold enough for a puffy jacket. Plus, it would never fit at this point in my life.
All I ask is for shipping.
@lisaviolet @Star2236
It’s not my style and I haven’t worn a real winter coat since third grade! Lol 
That looks like the same one I got a while back and gifted to my sister. It’s great for her to wear over her business suits and work attire, she’ll be toasty warm!
Just received. Black and Decker bottle sterilizer and a green IRK bag. No cereal?
@n3uka Just remembered I got a baby monitor in a previous IRK. What is Meh trying to tell me?
@n3uka The rabbit died? (If you understand that reference, you’re officially old.)
@werehatrack I have been officially old for a while. Now get off my lawn!
@n3uka
That’s not bad as long as it’s new and you know someone that’s pregnant. I’d be happy with that.
@n3uka Why, are you trying to tell us something, is there a bun in the oven @Star2236?
@Lynnerizer @n3uka
Hell no, had a hysterectomy 6-7 years ago. My SIL is prego.
@n3uka @Star2236 Auntie life is great too! Congratulations Auntie Star!
WOOHOO!
@Lynnerizer @n3uka
I can’t wait. I already have 1 nephew that’s 2 that I love to death but he lives an hour away so I only see him a couple times a month but I love playing with him and spoil the shit out of him. This brother is about a mile away so I’ll probably be a babysitter when she goes back to work and I’m really excited for that.
Pretty meh-jackfruit, cookie mix, collegen treatment, bird feeder, insulted cup and bag.
@Felton10 Insulted cup
.
@Felton10 @Kyeh At least it was only insulted and not insulting. (I couldn’t find a way to make a non-weak joke about buying an “a”.)
@Kyeh @werehatrack Freudian slip-at least I didn’t get any cereal as most did.
@Felton10 @werehatrack How about the jackfruit? Do you like that?
@Kyeh @werehatrack Chili lime flavor is too spicy for my tastes. Another flavor would probably be better.
@Felton10 @Kyeh @werehatrack
Will your bird eat it?
@Kyeh @Star2236 @werehatrack Probably not-this bird is such a picky eater. She watches what I put in her bowl very carefully and one day will devour it and the next day she will ignore it completely. Right now she seems to be partial to chicken egg rolls from BJs, chicken bakes from Costco and millet bird treats. She gets 4 different type of pellets in her food dish each night plus a small dish of cashews, almonds, pistachio and walnuts (all no salt) before she goes to bed as a bed time snack.
@Felton10 @Kyeh @werehatrack
The bird eats better than I do lol
@Kyeh @Star2236 @werehatrack Just because she is a bird doesn’t mean she can’t eat well.
Two toilet brush set…thank you very much, been using a cheap ones from Dollar General since we moved.
Cereal…well the chickens say thank you
Thank you, Meh!
@tahshar
My mom still my food savor.
Well. This was the absolute fucking worst. Just beside myself here.
Box arrived today and all things considered it was solid.
Cuisinart Toaster
Car Phone Mount
Heel repair roller
IRK bag
I decided to try out the toaster to determine if it was in working order.
IT STARTED A FUCKING FIRE IN MY HOUSE.
Thankfully, I got it contained quickly and there was no additional damage to my cabinets or counter top.
There was no indication aside from a few green stickers on the box so I’m not sure if it was defective from the start.
Fucking scary. Thanks for the nightmares, Meh.
@studerc
Glad you’re okay … that’s beyond regretful!
@studerc omg. Glad you are ok!!!
@studerc was it a two slice toaster? the back alley temptress was sending her regards.
Seriously, that’s scary! Glad no permanent damage to anything that wasn’t the toaster.
@studerc This is not the kind of Regret one wants.
@studerc Holy shit. That’s terrifying. I’m glad there was no damage or injury other than the toaster.
@studerc I hope this is a lesson to meh about the dangers of sending out broken electric appliances to us rather than putting them in the dumpster at the warehouse. You got very lucky but OMG when one thinks about what could have happened. What if you had left the room while the toaster because toast. Yikes.
@Kidsandliz @studerc
Whoa that’s scary, good thing you didn’t walk away? I wonder if there was a bunch of shit in the bottom of the toaster tray (where you discard the crumbs) or if it was an electrical fire? Either way glad your safe.
@studerc Did anyone at meh reach out to you?
@Felton10 nobody reached out. I also didnt push it much. The toaster was definitely used as the stickers had been reapplied over the screen but nothing else seemed out of the ordinary. If I had to make a guess, something probably shorted in the electrical.
@studerc Wonder what type of liability they have in sending out returned items that may be a fire or worse hazard? I received an electric generator that was DOA when I plugged it in and didn’t go any further with it.
My IRK came, and the contents are the following:
Pretty regrettable, despite not being instant.
Correction: it is not a curling iron. It is a steamer. I don’t know why I thought it was a curling iron.
@dappermh
I always like when I get clothes that fit me in my irks. Leggings included.
@Star2236 The leggings I’ve received in IRKS have all been in sizes that might have fit me when I was in elementary school, maybe. (We won’t go into how much I’d have looked at them longingly and wished I could have had them back then, but the term “leggings” was still far in the future, and the day I gave myself permission to wear them was even more distant.)
@werehatrack
I’ve been pretty lucky and have gotten a few in my size that I actually wear quite a bit and like a lot. It’s only been a recent development that I wear legging again bc when I think back to grade school I think of the ones that had the elastic to go over the bottom of your foot and keep them in place.
@Star2236 I remember those; we called them “stirrup pants” and I remember being told that they could be improved tremendously by cutting out the stirrup. Of course, I never had the chance to verify that, and I suspect that I’d have had to do it anyway because I had a 34" inseam that would have made them unwearable without that excision.
@werehatrack
I thought that’s what they were called. I hated them so much as kid and swore I would never wear them again. But leggings have taken over the world. My boyfriends hates them bc he says they provide no mystery, everything is so skin tight it’s for everyone to see.
IRK had the following:
-A light pink throw. I’ve actually put this on the couch already. It’s for the cats to sit on. It’s a slightly better color match than the one I’ve got there now.
-A pink flamingo tumbler that says No Bad Days. I will try to send someone home with it when they are visiting. That way they won’t take my good ones.
-A bunch of pink wax melt cubes. Tangerine splash. I have a wax warmer sitting unused. I’m going to pop one in right now. We’ll see if the kitchen smells better as tangerine splash than All The Garlic, which is the current theme.
-A cow face tree bird feeder. Only small bits of it are pink.
-White IRK bag.
-A Siamese cat. Didn’t originally get shipped in the box. But has spent the majority of time in it since I opened it.
@Skipbidder While the cat is in the box seal it shut, put some air holes and ship it to me. I’ll pay for postage.
My cats have been playing in my box too.
@Skipbidder That’s a beautiful cat!
@Kidsandliz, you don’t need another cat!
@Skipbidder Kitty! We have a tortimese here, and she’s very judgmental. She finally decided that I was OK, for a human, and gives me nose bumps. (Her one true human is my S.O.)
I’m esthetic! I don’t know if the meh angels were watching and knew I needed what I got, but it couldn’t have been more timely. Hbd meh!!
@cutiecupid15 If you open the box you may find more things inside, like, for instance, your irk bag.
@Kidsandliz yes thank you! I got the green bag inside!! And now the kiddos are asleep
I plan to check out the toaster.
@cutiecupid15 Be careful with the toaster - maybe put it in the sink. Someone else posted that theirs caught fire when they tested it.
@cutiecupid15
Oooooh very, very nice. Never have I had an air fryer but I want one like yours.
@Kidsandliz Thank goodness mine seems to be working great!
Got a dried jackfruit, bird feeder, some collagen serum, a bag, and a tumbler.
Not going great trying to unload the bird feeder on my local Buy Nothing group, tbh…
@denton Got the exact same crap-see my post and picture above.
@denton
I’ll take your bird feeder and pay for shipping it to me if you would like too? It would go great in my fathers polish yard
Well I am beyond shocked. By far my best IRK. I saw the delivery photo and just assumed they put tandom crap into the box. To my surprise complete set! Nothing broken, and only permanent scratches on one pan.
Thank you so much!!
@tlaughner Ooooooh nice!
@Pony @tlaughner
Winner, winner chicken dinner! You paying tonight?
I received my IRK this afternoon.
Overall, not bad! Thanks Meh!
@mtbm33 I can attest that the hummus remains pretty much unchanged well past the best-by date. In fact, I question whether the term “best” ever applied; it did not taste stale in any way, but it also did not taste good in any way. It was like they left out several critical ingredients, and getting the proportions right when adding them after the fact proved difficult. Your mileage may vary; don’t trash them until you’ve at least given them a chance, and be prepared to need to add olive oil, lime, garlic, and possibly paprika. (And maybe a pinch of salt.)
Received my IRK today. It was a big box, but my hopes and dreams were crushed once I opened it:
• Carton containing 6 boxes of expired strawberry flavored cereal (I’m allergic to strawberries. Donated.)
• Cuisinart 4 cup coffee maker (I don’t drink coffee. Donated.)
• 2 containers of CBD for pets (I don’t have pets)
• Tan IRK bag (already have at least one)
@heartny
You win some, you loose some. It’s the gamble we all play
@Star2236 Indeed. I tend to lose more than win, but that doesn’t stop me from trying.
@heartny the cereal most likely has only a passing acquaintance with real strawberries but better safe than sorry.
I got
1 - IRK bag, tan
1 - HappyHeat Hot Water Belt
1 - empty Savvy Cie Jewels box
1 - Savvy Cie Jewels care card
2 - Pacific PaddleLabs Pickleball Rackets
6 - boxes Spark Strawberry Cereal
15 - packets EVOLVE Crafted Classic Meals cat food
@Granite_Grizz Leonard Nimoy!
@Granite_Grizz Well if you have no cat I am sure an animal shelter would like them if they aren’t a million years past the best used by date. Or someone who feeds neighborhood ferals.
@Kidsandliz I have a friend that has cats, back pain and an interest in Pickleball, so I just gave them the appropriate items. Brightening a friend’s day is a worthy use of an IRK.
@Granite_Grizz Janeway! Janeway! Janeway!
Not my best haul, but far from the worst. Got a box of boxes of the cereal, a toilet brush, a towel, and a butterfly flashlight. I’ll probably try the cereal, and the rest I will definitely use in some capacity. Much better than usual.
I suck because I didn’t take pics, so here’s what I got
-A case of the strawberry cereal, mine was really beat up, it tasted ok
a watch
a garment steamer
a leather purse
And the coup de grace
I’m just imagining that my IRK was one of the last boxes and they were running low on IRK bags
so after enjoying a nice catered lunch they tossed the bag in box to send off, lol
@stryper2000 ask customer support for your irk bag.
*Green bag with purple writing
*hand santizer
*1 random trackr pixel
*Box of boxes of strawberry GF vegan cereal
*Cuisinart classic 15 piece knife block set
Not too shabby. I’d been planning on sorting out my knife situation again soon anyway. I have a block already, but I don’t really love the handles, so the knives from it have been on the to replace list anyway.
@Jamileigh17
Very nice
Happy Birthday Meh!
My IRK wasn’t completely regrettable but…
Teal bag
Pink Tervis bottle. Nice, but pink…
JLAB earbuds - donate
Aroma diffuser - regift?
Crabtree & Evelyn face oil…huh? My face is oily enough!
Copper Joe knee (?) sleeves
Sparkly silver gift box - empty
Hidden beneath it all are 6 boxes of expired strawberry cereal; tried it but it’s stale
Keeping the bag and the gift box
.
Thanks Meh.
@llangley
I hate pink too but put some stickers on it and it’s good as new, at least it’s not baby pink ( the photo looks more orange).
I had a minimal-regret IRK for my last one, so in order to balance out the karma I received a mostly-regretful IRK with a toilet brush, bottle of “expired” hand sanitizer (how does 80% ethanol expire?), IRK bag, and a single Trackr pixel as the cherry on top. No picture needed to experience the regret. But hey, at least I got a bag. Thanks, Meh, for restoring balance to my regret!
My irk arrived yesterday just before I got home. When I felt how light it was I was in no hurry to open it. Opened it this morning. I was curious about the jackfruit others received but I got the cereal. I’m not into purses or gold so I got 2 identical black purses with gold. Is the tummy slimming underwear meant to be worn with the leggings? Regret achieved (but not as much as the past trackr box) . Guess I’ll go try the cereal now.
@mehla
If those are thin neon orange leggings that scream 80’s, I love them and wear them all the time bc they are so comfortable.
@Star2236 They look like neon pink to me. I’m going to hold on to them but it’s too hot to try them on now. I’m slapping on the pain cakes (ice packs) that I bought during the mehrathon in an attempt to cool off.
Dalmo bidet attachment. Several months ago we installed a bidet. A month later we took it off. So this is of no use.
Edison STig smart spiral bulbs, 40 watts. We have two lamps that take 40 watts and it will probably be at least 20 years before they burn out.
26 oz insulated straw tumbler. Someone in the family will take it.
Battery converter. Turns AA batteries into C & D batteries. I’ve never heard of this, need to do some research.
2 Silkk mascara
2 Rejoul collagen boosting serum
Saving the best for last - an IRK bag. Thanks IRK.
@pooflady The battery adapter sleeves are one of those things that only sounds like a good idea to someone who has an amazingly poor grasp of how a battery works. Yes, the adapters allow substituting a AA battery in place of a C or a D. Of course, it’s still just a AA battery, and can’t hope to deliver the amount of power that the C or D can, either in terms of rate (amps) or longevity (watt-hours). As an emergency thing in a low-demand device, they can work acceptably as a short-term solution. As a way of standardizing on just one size of battery for all of the AA/C/D-cell alkaline-battery devices in a household or organization, they are Made of Fail.
@werehatrack Thanks, you saved me a lot of time and trouble. I’ll just pitch it.
Mine just arrived. I got 6 boxes of Spark strawberry cereal. A conair fabric steamer and a waring pro cordless wine opener. And a tan irk tote.
@kcface I got the same wine opener, cereal and tan bag. I also received a pair of size 8 white tennis shoes, but I would have preferred the steamer because our family have large feet.
I was at work when my IRK arrived today but apparently my toddler saw it show up and opened it herself … So I’m glad it wasn’t full of knives. Again.
This time around my box contained:
Blue bag with green font
Gel hand sanitizer (expired)
Tech wipe cloth
2-pack toilet brushes -quite useful at the moment actually
New in sealed box “lava rock” Home Zone Living tabletop fire bowl. Lemme tell you about the level of excitement of my husband when he saw that thing. It made all past regret worth it. I’m not about to tell him how much we can buy something like that for and kill the mood. Overall, quite happy and very little regret.
Just a heads up …
When you give someone a handbag or purse, you are supposed to put a penny in it for good luck…with at being said
I got a great shitstorm irk box…
1 Mia K handbag
1 box of Expired Cereal
1 used garment steamer.
1 pill case
1 IRK BAG
Thank goodness this was only a $10 irk
@somf69 These days, a penny isn’t viewed as all that lucky.
@somf69 ope, I’d forgotten about the penny! That’s an old tradition. Or if curiosity, are you Irish-descended?
2 garment steamers (already have 2)
3pk of socks
1 case of expired strawberry cereal (and I’m allergic to pea protein)
1 tan IRK bag with even uglier blue print
@caffeineguy Do you know anyone who has chickens? They’ll eat pretty nearly anything.
@caffeineguy Like you would have eaten it without the pea protein.
I got one of my irk wishlist items. No it was not the TrackR.
I’m super excited and getting ready to rearrange my pots. THANKS MEH!
@sammydog01
Must have been the bag then lol
@sammydog01
Wow! Congratulations!
@sammydog01 oooih nice… One day I hope to hit the jackpot with something like that.
My vacuum sealer from the early days still my highest value irk item.
@OnionSoup I’ve had several good ones come through, so it is historically possible, but never predictable for any specific person.
@werehatrack yeah, and I feel like I’ve done fairly well overalll. Had only one really bad one… Still waiting for that super special IRK with pan set or suitcase set… Or something valuable in it. Lol… But most have been worthwhile.
I can’t get the super special irk too early in life though, because then what would I have left to live for? My ambitions would all have been met.
Expired breakfast cereal, a clothes steamer, bracelets, and a new low for IRK and Meh, pre-stained underware!
Received an 11 piece cuisinart stainless pot and pan set, and one IRK bag. The box looks like it made it through a war, but everything was intact inside. My wife was very angry, as we “already have plenty of pots!”
This one will actually get some use, compared to some of the other junk I’ve had to throw away in the past.
@bigcurmudgeon ANGRY? Sheesh! She’s more curmudgeonly than you, it sounds like!
@Kyeh Pretty much. “What do you mean you can’t choose what they send you?! What are you buying anyway???”
@bigcurmudgeon She’s never heard of mystery boxes, I guess? Did she see what you got in previous Irks, or were they discarded quietly without her knowing?
@Kyeh She’s pretty good with the mystery box concept. I think it was the fact this one showed up in OEM packaging that looked like I ordered a pot set.
I was put on moratorium a few years ago after a string of truly awful BoCs, especially the $50 one that turned out worse than the standard ones. I don’t buy BoCs anymore, but I still manage to snag the odd IRK now and again.
@bigcurmudgeon Oh. Well, too bad she didn’t realize this is one of the GOOD ones!
@bigcurmudgeon @Kyeh This one should make up for some of those bad ones. I just bought this set from the daily meh 2 weeks ago for $100 (and it retails for $180)
I usually manage more complete pictures than this time. But I invited granddaughter to come see (share) my IRK. She arrived, along with SO and dog. I’m trying to cook lunch for them. Grandson (her brother) arrives unexpectedly, along with dog and father of his fiancee. I’m adding to the stew pot to stretch. We enjoy chaotic lunch and a good visit. I remember to take picture after they all left.
I’d opened the box the day before. It was damaged on the outside. Inside, there first was just a large company Cuisinart box. I wrestled it out, thinking it would be a large Cuisinart appliance. Pried open that top. Huh … FOUR smaller Cuisinart boxes completely filling the large company box. Pried one small box out.
Double Huh… An Elemental 4-cup Grinder Chopper. And there were three more of them still in the big box. I don’t have even one, although I’ve wanted and need one. And realize I can share the others with the rest of the family.
One small box corner damaged, but it did not extend to the appliance.
But there was even more below the big box!
Tan IRK bag
Tube of some sort of sunscreen
Pair of pickleball paddles
During the madhouse visit, granddaughter nails the sunscreen. Already had a Grinder Chopper. However, grandson is delighted to nail one of them. Nabs the IRK bag on the way out.
So, my picture is of the three remaining Grinder Choppers (one mine) and the Pickleball Paddles. And I’ll find good homes for the rest. Zero regret!
@romellex 4 of them! Pretty lucky, for sure!
@romellex Great score! I’ve gotten one of those choppers before. They are fantastic but little stuff that you don’t want to drag the big food processor out for.
Mine was a pretty bland box (partially opened…we’ll come back to that):
-Blue IRK bag
-Handheld Cuisinart mixer, opened but looks unused. I have one that works fine, and I use it about 4x/ year, so probably new home for this.
-Sheet set (I keep getting sheet sets. I don’t know what Meh is implying here.)
-Blanket: riding that fence between nice-ish and inoffensively bland for deployment on furniture you don’t actually have guests sit on
-Non BPA water bottle
So nothing completely regrettable, but a few things I’ll rehome.
*I kinda wonder if there was more. The box had one flap loosely tucked back under the tape, and there was a lot of empty space, that would normally at least contain some high quality packaged Texas air.
I’m hoping, if anything was pilfered, it was the not-great cereal so many people got. Double bonus in that case, because the karma would be instant.
@brainmist My box was taped shut and lots of empty space (like most of it) and no TX air. They mostly aren’t sending TX air anymore.
@brainmist Meh gives a sheet.
My IRK contained:
Blue IRK bag (love the color)
TrackRpixel 5-pack (good for a smile)
UPhylian sonic electric toothbrush
3-pack of socks with one pair having taco design. LOVE.
Pair of tall glass pillar candle holders.
Side note: FedEx delivery confirmation picture showed my IRK on someone else’s porch. Weird.
The taco socks and blue IRK bag were all I needed to declare this IRK a total win. Thanks, Meh.
@lordbowen taco socks sound awesome!
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
Got the good goods. Got stuff I would likely never buy, but will be using if I had them:
Blue IRK bag
Cuisinart Precision Master Stand Mixer (shipped in manufacturer’s box, so it looks like hell and back)
@Nebiki You sure did!
Well got my IRK a few days ago and uh… Yeah, thoroughly regrettable.
![][1]
Got home from up north last night and opened my irk to find pretty much what everyone else got.
6 boxes of cereal, maybe birds or deer in the back will eat it.
Blanket, feels pretty soft.
Water bottle, I’ll find a home for it.
And the best of all roasted bird feeder. Unfortunately I don’t have any trees in my yard big enough to put this on (maybe I could put it on the fence) but I was gonna take it to my dads, he has lots of big trees.
[1]:
After all the comments on the cereal I fully expected to feed it to my local freeloaders as my husband lovingly refers to the deer and squirrels but my friend grabbed a box and really ended up liking it so may split it between humans and beasts after all.
My box arrived yesterday.
Got a tan IRK bag, the strawberry cereal, the garment steamer sans box, a pair of leggings which look very small despite being marked as XL - perhaps youth sizing? Finally a Gooddose brand neoprene waist trimmer size large and “sweat vest” size small with a longline bra extender.
What is a BoC? I got a off-brand stand mixer (didn’t need) and a cold coffee maker (with bad reviews–besides I don’t drink coffee.) Stretchy capris that fit me when I was about 12 and an irk bag. I like the mystery box idea, but it would be better if they put in something I would actually use.
@ripper69 BoC is an abbreviation for Bag o’ Crap, the Woot! predecessor of the Meh fuko and IRK.
@ripper69 @werehatrack Bag has recently been replaced with Box, which is technically more accurate with what they send.
@heartny @ripper69 @werehatrack
Was this just an unfortunate happenstance or something more like a marketing thing on Woot’s end…? Hmmm… 
Not too tough to figure that one out! 
And it’s contents (in my opinion) has also changed for the worse! Changing the box to the smaller one, with the printed yellow question mark, leaves NO ROOM for anything bigger than a shoebox!
The cereal - not terrible, awfully sweet, but does stay crisp in milk for a long time. Asmall hair-drying brush - haven’t tried it, but looks like a useful thing, good for travel if I ever go anywhere again. A clothes steamer - nice, except I bought one when they were being sold here. And a quite nice towel which is NOT “Ralph Lauren Polo,” which is fine with me because I’m not a fan. Also a beige Irk bag with blue lettering. All new, nothing broken. Not too regrettable!
Better late than never…?
MEH.
