The disgustingly delicious candy canes you forgot to buy
4My fellow Mehtizens – I goofed on this sale and priced them at $20 for 2 boxes… a whopping $1.67 per cane. They were supposed to be $10 for 2 boxes, a far less ludicrous $0.84 per cane. You see… when we do a Pick-your-2-pack offer, whatever price we have on the items in the system gets doubled. $10 (which was supposed to be the total) was entered for each item when it was supposed to be $5.
Look… we bought a lot of these candy canes in stupid flavors, and maybe that’s on me. But the price? Yeah that’s on me too. Surely some of you would have bought some sardine candy canes at half the price, though, right? Maybe some kale canes too? I bet you want the bacon canes to go with your eggs in the morning. How about an order of ketchup and hot dog canes? Something tells me those pair amazingly well together.
Please help me redeem myself

just eat them yourself…
Hmm. I could be talked into buying the pickle and ketchup ones for $10.
Yep.

@Pony Yessss, thanks for ponying up! Enjoy!
Alright, I’ll bite.
@Endreo Its near impossible to not bite a candy cane, I agree
No, I didn’t forget and I’m still not buying them.
@Kyeh fair enough
So, does that mean the two boxes I paid $20 for will be changed to $10 and still include my coupon discount making them $5? Right?
@wardy123 Yup, you’ll get a total refund of $10
@troy sweet! Thanks

I’ll buy almost anything. Just not these.
Maybe at 10 boxes for $5. I wouldn’t eat these. But I would put them in my candy jar at work and watch unsuspecting fools eat them.
So far I’ve gotten them with spicy snickers and hot jolly ranchers. But in the past when I had ‘normal’ mini candy canes they didn’t eat them. So IDK if they would take them.
Big old pile of fresh, wild-caught nope.
And I was the asshole who used to mix jalapeño Jelly Belly beans in with the regular flavors in the jar on my desk.
Still not gonna go there.
Suggestion: Use the forklift to put the pallet out in the sun all day on Monday, and then try marketing them as “distressed gourmet” instead of “awful gimmick” canes.
@werehatrack Then they can be the next candy corn… You’re a marketing genius!
@ircon96 @werehatrack
Wait, someone at Meh is forklift certified?
@mike808 @werehatrack Yeesh, i hope it’s not that sociopath, mediocrebot! I heard he’s a real asshole.
@ircon96 @mike808 He’d park them where the pallet blocked in @ChadP’s car, that’s for sure.
@ChadP @mike808 @werehatrack Sounds about right!
There is something wrong me…

@mikibell
You have no working taste buds?
@Kidsandliz oh no… I am not trying any of these… They are going into the Christmas on July stockings!!
@mikibell I hope no one in your family is on here so that they know in advance what evil you are up to (grin).
Not buying. You’ll just have to suck on them until they are gone.
These will be IRK fodder until winter.
Personally, if I still spent time around children (I’m not on a list, they just grew up), I’d buy these and put them out, unlabeled.
Would have if I were not too late…it says I am now too late.
@cbilyak Have at it!
@troy
So have you tried all these flavors?
@Kyeh I haven’t tried any of them
@Kyeh @troy I got the bacon-flavored ones several years ago and they aren’t disgusting, or at least as disgusting as “sardine flavor” must be! (Edit: I hung them on the Xmas tree and one of the kids grabbed one, so I tasted it then. I’m not a big candy fan.)
@CBL_WV That one sounds less bad than some of the others - did it just taste like sweet bacon?
@troy I think you have a professional obligation to try them!
