@styloroc Everyone in my family knows The Rule Concerning Wrapped Packages: – never trust the box to have any connection to what’s in it. Works for us.
“I hear you are a woman who does not mind a little arbitrage.”
Arbitrage. That was her code word. Carla was a fence, a buyer, a seller, a mover. Carla was one of the best in the world. The seller was named Joshua, and the deal was a container from Papua New Guinea packed to the brim with candy, fruit, and snacks. He offered it to her for $4 a pop, she haggled him down to $2. The best fence in the world did not come cheap. She could turn around, sell it on any mediocre website, and come out ahead $6 each, easy. Carla knew better than to ask questions. A quick BTC transfer later she was on her way to the port.
Joshua hung up the phone and smiled. It wasn’t every day someone paid him to be his accomplice.
@Konraden I bought some last time. It’s not bad at all, though by May the pretzel etc stuff may taste a little stale. I brought both packs to work and had my coworkers help me eat it all.
My wife just told me a couple of hours ago that the fruit and chocolate bites are her favorite thing ever.
However, I know if I order more of this, I will receive a swift kick to the rear. It would be more effective for me to find a source of just the weird fruit bits.
@djslack Would you happen to know if the fruit and chocolate bites have strawberries? Chocolate covered fruit is one of my favorite things, but I’m allergic to strawberries and don’t want to find out the hard way.
Still working through the last order. That didn’t stop me; I’ve been giving away the stuff I don’t like. Besides, this is an awesome order name.
/giphy sleazy cheap ink
I was right! I held out on the initial offering a week ago because I had a sneaking feeling these thing would end up in a bundle a week later…and look! …reduced-priced and nearly expired snacks all bundled up…now this is a Meh offering!!!
@thechinglish You can’t be serious. I’ll eat my hat if the fuko bags aren’t stuffed with edible arrangements, fidget spinners, and Schick hydro blades.
@UncleRummy well you can keep the edible stuff. There is nothing in there that sounds any good to me. I think they finally got rid of all the fidget spinners. We haven’t seen them for a while. I’m guessing they are doing a warehouse clean out. They’ve had a number of sales on morningsave to. Maybe moving it to the new place? Is that ready yet?
Jumped in on this for the teacher’s lounge at school. We require this valuable sustenance to survive the last 7 weeks of school. Perhaps i should purchase a couple more 5 packs.
Ok, guys. I took one for the team. At the very least, I will have snacks to throw at the people I live with who enjoy snack food from my local Dollar Tree, and I can recycle the boxes for Christmas give-aways.
A search for superficial-astounding-body images turned up this: Sure hope it’s not a harbinger of things to come after we consume this stuff!
@venussuz I love the honey mustard pretzel bites. I am now on a quest to find some that tastes as good as these. Maybe it’s the staleness that adds to the flavor?
@Barney I just googled it and found this at Wally World - Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Pieces, Honey Mustard & Onion, 12 Oz $2.68. Yeah, it’s in my cart.
@snapster, et al: I guess it was inevitable and this is not a complaint, at least not one directed at meh, but this was the first order placed at meh for which I was charged sales tax.
Did your policy wrt to New York State change? Or was it your policy wrt sales tax as a whole?
IOW, is this @thumperchick’s fault? (I know, I know, it is @shahnm’s fault regardless.)
Legacy Meh VMP’rs (the few who remained after it was closed to new folks spring 2017… so you could no longer turn it off 30 days after ordering something and turn it back on when you again wanted something) in exchange for Kickstaring Casemates.com at the $60 level were “rewarded” with 1 year of VMP (12 x $5) + 3 x $10 discount coupons to be used at any Mediocre site (except Morningsave.com… although that was not disclosed at the time).
So even if you were not a dainty wine drinker (I drink it only in deference to my spouse), the deal made sense if you expected to stay VMP at Meh.comand expected to buy three things before the coupon code expires at the end of this year.
If you were a dainty wine drinker the free shipping of VMP really made sense since Casemates.com shipping is a lot more expensive than the $5 Meh.com shipping.
Four months in and I haven’t found the first of what must be three worthy deals after subtracting $10. Meh.
@rtjhnstn WHAT??? Oh my gosh! That must have been before my Meh time! My 15 year old would have loved a pallet of candy corn. Her orthodontist, not so much.
Let’s be candy clear about this: We are done with this stuff. We’re corn-fed up to here. We hope to sell every last bag of it today. But If we don’t? We’re taking whatever’s left over and dumping it in with some “lucky” customer’s order. No matter what, our candy curse is lifted!
@mehod i believe it’s actually two classic and two indulgent, and @shahnm somehow made them type it wrong.
Like many others, I paid $13 for just one classic and one indulgent for the privilege of letting the earliest expiration dates pass while the snacks were in my possession.
In for 5 tower, in for 3 tower Saturday belt/razer bundle, in for 2 piece edible last offered… why not be in for 2x2 pc edible (the tall packaging is worth it for gifting WINE!), and a 3 tower thrown in for extra Christmas packaging boxes.
I got two of the towers the first time and pretty much polished them off by myself. I’m a nibbler and if there’s something to nibble on…well…
Oh, my husband helped a little, but not as much as I’d liked.
So, as tempted as I am to buy them, I know damned well I’d eat them. The only thing we didn’t eat before was the pretzels. If it was all pretzels I’d be safe, but then, I wouldn’t buy.
I’ve bought two of these (this and the previous set) and have been happy with them. I’m the snak faerie at work now. The Holiday Box is sturdy and can be re-purpused to house all yer earbuds, USB cables, and other tiny yet indispensable yet hard to find/store objects. Decoupage anyone? How about a dec the box contest, Meh?
My roommate now thinks I’m a crazy hoarder. I didn’t realize the “5 piece” was so many boxes, so I got 2 cause they’re all pretty good. Especially those hazelnut twists. Uhm… Oops.I guess I’ll just have a few boxes over in the pile of boxes I haven’t done anything with lately.
The People I Live With™ sampled some of the items and recommend not putting any of the items out for guests at a party we’re throwing soon. Combined reviews: “Slightly stale, definitely not fresh, and some just taste awful–probably because they WERE awful to begin with. Yeah, Mom, don’t embarrass yourselves by putting it out.” They gave thumbs down to the truffles wrapped in the brightly colored wrappers as well as the Fruit Basket candy. One went as far as to spit her truffle out in the trash. “Yuck!” with a hand gesture.
Nut mixture was soggy. The other chocolate covered stuff & popcorn was “ok, but yeah, tastes old.” This is coming from a pair of older kids who shop for their junk food at the Dollar Tree.
On the flip side, the tall boxes will hold a bottle of wine and the smaller boxes will be great for small Christmas presents, so there’s that.
@LaVikinga oh good… I thought it was just my picky family. I, personally, spit out a chocolate covered graham cracker – haven’t had such a visceral reaction since I had morning sickness 15 years ago
@mikibell Ok, now THAT’S BAD! Had hyperemesis gravidarum with all my pregnancies. Sometimes I still flinch when I smell certain fragrances like Polo cologne, or the old Clairol Conditioning Shampoo, and it took years before I could stomach broccoli with cheese sauce.
I tried the nuts out of both sets (yeah, fool that I am, I did the big order)and they weren’t worth the calories. Left the rest of the crap carbs to the kids. My husband took a handful of the fruit ball things and spit them out, but then he’s been known to do sacrilegious things like chew up a Snickers fun size and spit it out because he’s “trying to watch his weight.” Soooo wrong.
I’m not convinced the stuff would taste good even when fresh. It all smells…well, my daughter says everything smells like cheap potpourri. She’s right. It DOES.
Hey, Meh, I need some more of the Edible Arrangements snacks. I know the expiration date has passed on some of the items, but I won’t tell if you don’t!
I sent an order to Mom last month, and when I called her for Mothers Day she was dropping heavy hints that she wants MORE. She must have mentioned half a dozen times “I finished all my snacks. They were really good! Yup, they’re all gone. I don’t have any left. They were so delicious!”
Help a fellow out, Meh, hook me up with more Edible Arrangements snacks? Please and thank you.
@Crlaozwyn@baqui63@moonhat I guess the tax laws finally caught up. Mediocre has staff in multiple states. Texas, California, Missouri, Washington, New York … any others?
@baqui63@Crlaozwyn@moonhat@narfcake
p.s., at least in CA, they also collect sales tax on the VMP membership fee (at a rate that I have not figured out how they arrived at) & my reading of CA law is that there should not be sales tax applied to the monthly VMP charge, but at $0.44/month, I decided I would just live with it
@Pufferfishy. I read closer the description of the contents. Its only the yogurt pretzels that are going to be expired by the time they get to the consumer. Its not like they are dumping 6 month old expired food on people and expecting them to buy it. Jumped the gun before typing. My bad.
Was going to “help out” by getting a couple more with the towers but the 5-packs have sold out! Hope those interns can tunnel their way through safely now…
I finally caved and ordered some snacks. I had it sent to Mom because she consumes more sugary snacks than anyone I’ve ever known, and would probably enjoy these.
I just started into the previous EA deal today (well, now it’s yesterday).
Gotta chuckle at the stuff that expires on April 17 — I work at an accounting firm, and needless to say I’m gonna be inhaling the stuff the next couple of days just to survive.
Meh still, right at the top of these posts in the specs, has once spot that says the 5-piece bundle is “Five-pack contains one “Tower,” one “Classic Holiday Surprise,” and two “Indulgent Holiday Surprise”” (1+1+2=4), just so’s ya know.
Can you tell me where your warehouse is located? 'Cause I don’t want to buy these, but I would totally dumpster dive and take them when you throw them away!
I would have bought, but they put them on hold overnight and then the more attractive bundle sold out before I could try for it again. Boo! Probably better in the long run.
I’m a simple man. I see expired snacks on meh, I buy.
/giphy plain-national-cake
Also this is the 6th order I made this month, which is a new world record! Finally putting my VMP to work!
@awk @dave We (I) desperately need more of them gummy bears.
Did I order both versions of these in the previous sales? Yes.
Have I finished the five-box tower I got last month? No.
Have I even started the two-box one that was just delivered today? No.
Am I still considering buying this anyway? Yes.
@The_Tim they have been a huge hit at work. Ppl think I’m the best.
@The_Tim I enjoy the comfort and security of a net positive snack flow.
@coleafiory Oh yeah, for sure. Where do you think I had mine delivered? Straight to the office. Our team meetings have been quite tasty lately.
I’ve been happy with mine; the boxes alone are worth it for wrapping Christmas presents.
@styloroc hah! Good idea!
@styloroc Everyone in my family knows The Rule Concerning Wrapped Packages: – never trust the box to have any connection to what’s in it. Works for us.
Carla’s phone rang. She answered it.
“I hear you are a woman who does not mind a little arbitrage.”
Arbitrage. That was her code word. Carla was a fence, a buyer, a seller, a mover. Carla was one of the best in the world. The seller was named Joshua, and the deal was a container from Papua New Guinea packed to the brim with candy, fruit, and snacks. He offered it to her for $4 a pop, she haggled him down to $2. The best fence in the world did not come cheap. She could turn around, sell it on any mediocre website, and come out ahead $6 each, easy. Carla knew better than to ask questions. A quick BTC transfer later she was on her way to the port.
Joshua hung up the phone and smiled. It wasn’t every day someone paid him to be his accomplice.
Oh fine, I’ll buy this damn thing already.
Hopefully this makes a decent snack set to have around during boardgame nights.
@Konraden I bought some last time. It’s not bad at all, though by May the pretzel etc stuff may taste a little stale. I brought both packs to work and had my coworkers help me eat it all.
My wife just told me a couple of hours ago that the fruit and chocolate bites are her favorite thing ever.
However, I know if I order more of this, I will receive a swift kick to the rear. It would be more effective for me to find a source of just the weird fruit bits.
@djslack that is indeed a dilemma.
@djslack At this price, buy it, and give away the stuff neither she nor you likes.
@bdb oh, the problem isn’t that we don’t like the other stuff…
Besides, that’s $17 for 12 ounces of the fruit. That’s almost Amazon pricing.
@djslack Would you happen to know if the fruit and chocolate bites have strawberries? Chocolate covered fruit is one of my favorite things, but I’m allergic to strawberries and don’t want to find out the hard way.
@jakeline I don’t think so but don’t trust my memory. We don’t have any more.
If you already have them the ingredients are printed on the bag.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to start dieting.

@magic_cave Uh, oh. Someone’s gonna get yelled at. Seriously, though, please take care of yourself. You can do it.
@Barney @magic_cave Oh no! Hope all goes well.
Stop buying these so they can throw them into my Fuko.

It’s swimsuit season. Not that I want to put one on. But I don’t need any help with junk food pounds.
If it actually came with eyeballs, it would be a definite buy. They would help me watch my weight.

@RedOak vmpbribe codes? Is this a real thing? That can’t be a real thing I missed.
@coleafiory Folks who helped kickstart Casemates were given coupons.
@coleafiory @narfcake what do these coupons do?
@coleafiory @narfcake That must have been a higher level than my reward!
@jhdockett the bribe went like this -
Legacy Meh VMP’rs (the few who remained after it was closed to new folks spring 2017… so you could no longer turn it off 30 days after ordering something and turn it back on when you again wanted something) in exchange for Kickstaring Casemates.com at the $60 level were “rewarded” with 1 year of VMP (12 x $5) + 3 x $10 discount coupons to be used at any Mediocre site (except Morningsave.com… although that was not disclosed at the time).
So even if you were not a dainty wine drinker (I drink it only in deference to my spouse), the deal made sense if you expected to stay VMP at Meh.com and expected to buy three things before the coupon code expires at the end of this year.
If you were a dainty wine drinker the free shipping of VMP really made sense since Casemates.com shipping is a lot more expensive than the $5 Meh.com shipping.
Four months in and I haven’t found the first of what must be three worthy deals after subtracting $10. Meh.
Okay fine. These better be good.
/image spontaneous-vulgar-cupid
These are actually very good and I have become very popular at work.
How come Meh didn’t plead with us over the candy corn like this?
That’s right, they threatened to send some unlucky purchaser a pallet of the junk!
@rtjhnstn WHAT??? Oh my gosh! That must have been before my Meh time! My 15 year old would have loved a pallet of candy corn. Her orthodontist, not so much.
@luv4stephen
@luv4stephen it was an era… like the wonderful early JBL Lightning Speaker Dock days.
Aww, man. When did Meh start charging sales tax in Washington State? I know there was no tax on my Fuko…
@The_Tim Also, why is it charging me 10.1% when the rate in my city is only 9.7% (look up Everett here)? Hmm…
@The_Tim Oh wait nevermind on the tax rate. My billing / home is in Everett but I had the delivery set to Seattle, which is at 10.1%.

@The_Tim They got my 8.875% correct (NY City).
Edit: well, there ya go…
@The_Tim do you live in Everett and work in Seattle too? small world,…
@The_Tim I was wondering when the tax laws would catch up with meh. They have a few staffers in Washington.
@moonhat I do indeed. Maybe we should have a Meh meetup…
@The_Tim Seattle area Meh meetup! I’m in!
@narfcake @The_Tim I like you Meh, but please do limit your staffers to states outside the state surrounded by Great Lakes.
Bought it third time.

@gunhan1 That’s a pretty relevant order name…
@gunhan1 Sound like an honest and alternative title for “Soylent Green”.

Five-pack contains one “Tower,” one “Classic Holiday Surprise,” and two “Indulgent Holiday Surprise”
@mehod i believe it’s actually two classic and two indulgent, and @shahnm somehow made them type it wrong.
Like many others, I paid $13 for just one classic and one indulgent for the privilege of letting the earliest expiration dates pass while the snacks were in my possession.
In for 5 tower, in for 3 tower Saturday belt/razer bundle, in for 2 piece edible last offered… why not be in for 2x2 pc edible (the tall packaging is worth it for gifting WINE!), and a 3 tower thrown in for extra Christmas packaging boxes.

@darkstar80 have you ever priced out an Edible fruit arrangement?

@The_Tim @username …first world problem…
I’m also curious when/why Meh started charging tax to WA state. Must’ve been in the last couple weeks. Why meh, why?
@Crlaozwyn Not just WA, NY also and I’m guessing at least a few other places as well.
@Crlaozwyn yes it must be pretty new. Why oh why meh? What did we do?
@Crlaozwyn @baqui63 @moonhat I guess the tax laws finally caught up. Mediocre has staff in multiple states. Texas, California, Missouri, Washington, New York … any others?
@baqui63 @Crlaozwyn @moonhat @narfcake They started collecting CA sales tax at the beginning of 2016.
@baqui63 @Crlaozwyn @moonhat @narfcake
p.s., at least in CA, they also collect sales tax on the VMP membership fee (at a rate that I have not figured out how they arrived at) & my reading of CA law is that there should not be sales tax applied to the monthly VMP charge, but at $0.44/month, I decided I would just live with it
@rrichmon I believe anytime the shipping charges are not exactly what the actual cost is, it is taxable.
@Crlaozwyn Meh doesn’t charge the tax; Men simply collects it for the state.
Its worth it just for the yogurt covered almonds alone. That’s what I ate first.
Can you stop with this crap? We need material crap, not edible.
Have a another Marathon…title it UrealyfuckedaBuro…
I’m a fat man so this time I’ll just say no
So sometime between Tuesday and today meh started charging sales tax in New York. This makes me sad.

@Pufferfishy It worked! Your order number is: jazzy-renowned-mouse

nope…
It’s not that they aren’t good; it’s that I’ve already reached my yearly quota of snacks.
Woo! Cheap end-of-year teacher gifts!

Allergies preclude me ordering. My wife is allergic to Cranberries and every package includes the cran-cherry nut mix. So sad.
@ddavison can’t you just give those away?
Gotta justify that MVP status somehow, right?

@Tin_Foil MVP status?
@moonhat See, it’s been so long since I used it, I forgot what it was called…
/buy --set “2-Pack Bundle” -q 2
@mehmerized It worked! Your order number is: nominal-muffled-sandwich

Yuck! What kind of image is this?? I shall do my own!!
Why dont you donate slightly expired food. Instead of making a profit.
@natekimh Why don’t you buy it and donate it locally - then everyone wins.
It’s easy to toss around someone else’s money.
@Pufferfishy. I read closer the description of the contents. Its only the yogurt pretzels that are going to be expired by the time they get to the consumer. Its not like they are dumping 6 month old expired food on people and expecting them to buy it. Jumped the gun before typing. My bad.
Was going to “help out” by getting a couple more with the towers but the 5-packs have sold out! Hope those interns can tunnel their way through safely now…
OK, I bought it, now ship it. Probably no profit and shelters would not take it.
I finally caved and ordered some snacks. I had it sent to Mom because she consumes more sugary snacks than anyone I’ve ever known, and would probably enjoy these.

@ruouttaurmind And yet again, giphy hits the mark with a totally rando gif having absolutely nothing to do with the search string.
@ruouttaurmind Giphy … incorrect? Ha!
/giphy no cats.
I just started into the previous EA deal today (well, now it’s yesterday).
Gotta chuckle at the stuff that expires on April 17 — I work at an accounting firm, and needless to say I’m gonna be inhaling the stuff the next couple of days just to survive.
@TheFLP “Best by”, not a hard expiration date.
@narfcake True, but it still makes me chuckle.
My chuckles will not be denied this week.

Meh still, right at the top of these posts in the specs, has once spot that says the 5-piece bundle is “Five-pack contains one “Tower,” one “Classic Holiday Surprise,” and two “Indulgent Holiday Surprise”” (1+1+2=4), just so’s ya know.
I bought one anyway. :-p
Can you tell me where your warehouse is located? 'Cause I don’t want to buy these, but I would totally dumpster dive and take them when you throw them away!
@TCayer The dumpsters at meh are not for trash – they’re for filling Fukos!
I would have bought, but they put them on hold overnight and then the more attractive bundle sold out before I could try for it again. Boo! Probably better in the long run.

@rjquillin That escalated quickly.
@rjquillin @TheFLP Does that mean this item is “da bomb”?
soggy nuts are a bummer…
@robson Amen to that.
We loved every bit of it. Put the rest up and you’ll have our money.
