@tinamarie1974 Me too. Although I don’t think I’m prepared for that much fabulousness in one day.
I also checked under the sofa, because when I unpacked the bag, I thought I heard something hit the floor, and there’s a 100% chance if a hundred dollar bill were on the floor, Stinky would eat it. Her tastes run towards expensive things and hazardous things.
@brainmist I’m going to check too just because it doesn’t hurt and would only take a second. I’m going to look through all the previous IRK, FUKO, and FUKU bags too – just in case. I still have all of them.
@cengland0 I really can’t believe I never even noticed the pockets. Well, I’ll go through the ones I have, but the one Stinky ate… If there was money in that, it’s gone.
And it wouldn’t be the most expensive thing she’s eaten.
@UncleVinny If you put it on your finger, do you turn invisible? Have you seen any creepy guys in dark robes lurking around? Can you actually get a flight to Mordor these days?
@RiotDemon Click on Account at the top of the page, then “Your Account”
Scroll to the Email Subscriptions section and look for a checkmark in the first spot that says “Meh daily deals.” If no checkmark, then click on the Edit button and check it.
If the box does have a check, go into your spam folder to see if they started going there all of a sudden.
@cengland0 yeah, they’re not. I’ve had this happen before and if I save it again I might get an email tomorrow. It’s just weird that it suddenly decides not to send me an email.
OMG, I’m so glad I checked. I looked at all the bags I received previously and there was nothing. But the one I got today had a lot of money in it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
@cengland0 Nothing beats the rush of finding a random hidden stack of cash in your travel bags. All I found were tiny bags of unsweet powdered sugar. Guess I’ll go sprinkle it over some french toast breakfast for a quick pick me up to start the day.
And this is all my fault from yesterday saying they should put stuff in the pockets. But I was really serious bc I always check but don’t mock me about it.
@cengland0 except with inflation and the devaluation of the dollar because we seem hell-bent on printing money, soon mine will be worth much more and yours much less!
@Dakini I think this is a first. There had been earlier talk about why they don’t hide things in the pockets and so this time it looks like they did in some of the bags (so far only back ones it looks like).
@Dakini@Kidsandliz@RiotDemon Here’s the thing though:
-There’s always the possibility
-That possibility increases the more it’s suggested this is a possibility
-Potential hilarity increases possibility exponentially
@brainmist@Dakini@Kidsandliz@RiotDemon
As in the power of suggestion? I’m still wondering if i’m THAT gullible or IS this “really” a happening thing? ¯\ಠ_ಠ/¯
@Lynnerizer@Dakini@RiotDemon Hey but knowing meh ANYTHING is possible if it tickles the fancy of the powers that be. That we were even gullible enough to think it might be true indicates our faith that meh still has kept some of its early origins to do, on occasion, over the top, off the wall stuff for its own amusement and ours .
@Dakini@Kidsandliz@Lynnerizer@RiotDemon Can confirm. Not the IRK money, but the over-the-top whimsy. Every now and then I consider whether I should cut the VMP, since I’m pretty certain having it lures me to buy silly things (“but it’s FREE SHIPPING!”).
And then there was the PastaMonsterBox. (I’m still working on a good catchy name for it. It’s got a ton of PastaDrop stickers, so Pasta has to be in the name. It’s going to cause some confusion when I take it camping and it’s full of brats and beer…)
Anywho, if that’s not a clear indication that the PTB read the forums and occasionally implement our musings, I don’t know what is. They seriously did it the same day.
Can I make the assumption that if any of these people finding money in their IRK bag was a joke that the power that be at Meh would let us know (or delete their post entirely)?
@blaineg@brainmist Maybe they make freeze dried twinkies. That should last 20+ years. I believe the army has 20 year old freeze dried rations they tested, found they were still go and so are keeping them around.
$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!
Sure, sure
I did, however just go and check mine just in case. Nada!!

@tinamarie1974 Mine was empty too.
Whaaaaat?!?!? That’s not counterfeit?
(Or more likely just a set-up, I suppose…)
Sure… Like I got one. Thanks for rubbing it in.
I console myself by accepting that my pockets would have been empty anyway.
Huh, til there are pockets, neat
@smigit2002 I knew there are pockets, but I didn’t realize there are three pockets.
How did I miss the fact that IRK bags have pockets???
/giphy pulling our leg
@cengland0 Maybe, but would they both think to crease them to match the fold in the bag?
Anyway, I checked.
@brainmist I’m going to check too just because it doesn’t hurt and would only take a second. I’m going to look through all the previous IRK, FUKO, and FUKU bags too – just in case. I still have all of them.

Mine has a slimy golden ring. Yuck.
@UncleVinny If you put it on your finger, do you turn invisible? Have you seen any creepy guys in dark robes lurking around? Can you actually get a flight to Mordor these days?
@gt0163c @UncleVinny You couldn’t get a flight to Mordor in the old days! Stupid one way Eagle Airlines.
@brainmist @gt0163c ew, who wants to be invisible?! Gross. I’d probably accidentally see somebody flossing.
@brainmist @gt0163c @UncleVinny
/giphy flossing
Did anyone else notice the subject of today’s daily meh mail says “The Pockets Lie”? Wonder what that’s all about.
@cengland0 I haven’t received emails for several days… What gives.

@cengland0 @RiotDemon I don’t know if I ever got meh emails 🥺. I get morningsave and sidedeal and such, often multiple times a day, but never meh.
OMG, I’m so glad I checked. I looked at all the bags I received previously and there was nothing. But the one I got today had a lot of money in it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Meh, you are awesome!
MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@cengland0 Nothing beats the rush of finding a random hidden stack of cash in your travel bags. All I found were tiny bags of unsweet powdered sugar. Guess I’ll go sprinkle it over some french toast breakfast for a quick pick me up to start the day.
KuoH
WOW!
I did check, but nada. Although, I accidentally knocked my glasses off the table and immediately thought, “ZOMG! THEY’RE MY STYLE! HOW’D THEY KNOW??”
My style, complete with the fingerprints and scratches of neglect.
@PocketBrain TBF, if Meh sent you glasses, they would definitely be scratched and smudgy.
And this is all my fault from yesterday saying they should put stuff in the pockets. But I was really serious bc I always check but don’t mock me about it.
@Star2236 It’s a good idea! Now everyone will check those pockets and I bet they’ll start finding stuff in them.
@Kyeh
I better find something in my next irk bag pocket.
@Star2236 If you hadn’t said anything, I’d have gone the rest of my life not knowing there were pockets.
Also from today’s email - good one, Glen!
In a similar vein…
Got you all beat.
Suckers!
@ybmuG Don’t be so sure. If you look at my image of the cash I found in the pocket, it’s $2,000. $1000 in $100 bills and $1000 in $20’s.
That Krugerrand is only worth its weight in gold which is currently $1,844.05.
@cengland0 except with inflation and the devaluation of the dollar because we seem hell-bent on printing money, soon mine will be worth much more and yours much less!
@cengland0 @ybmuG Pfft.
Do you have any idea of the street value of THIS baby?
Has this happened in prior IRKs??? I tend to use the bags to bring IRK and BOC stuff I don’t want to the womens shelter for donation.
@Dakini why do you think they are soooo happy to see you!!
@Dakini I think this is a first. There had been earlier talk about why they don’t hide things in the pockets and so this time it looks like they did in some of the bags (so far only back ones it looks like).
@Dakini @Kidsandliz
/giphy gullible
@Kidsandliz @RiotDemon yes yes, I am that at times!

@brainmist @Dakini @Kidsandliz @Lynnerizer @RiotDemon I dunno, would anyone believe I got an electric scooter in an IRK?
@Dakini What?? You could sell those to poor Meh followers that are failures at pushing that “buy now” button fast enough to win an IRK!!
Or wait. Is this some kind of joke?
It’s not April Fools yet!
@Dakini hasn’t pretty much every day lately been April Fools?
Can I make the assumption that if any of these people finding money in their IRK bag was a joke that the power that be at Meh would let us know (or delete their post entirely)?
@Felton10 You can assume anything you want. It’s a free country.
@sammydog01 Well then my assumption about you then is correct after that answer.
@Felton10 @sammydog01 It’s fake news! Come on, man!
@Felton10 @ybmuG I mean @cengland0 posted about the email header right up there.
@Felton10 @sammydog01 @ybmuG You should definitely assume it’s fake, and, just to be certain, send your unexamined bags to me for…er…safeguarding.
@brainmist @Felton10 @ybmuG I volunteer to test stroopwafels past their sell by dates if anyone needs my services.
@Felton10 @sammydog01 @ybmuG I feel like anything that is 99% sugar probably doesn’t actually expire.
I was proven wrong once in this assumption. With four-years-expired Lucky Charms.
@brainmist @Felton10 @sammydog01 @ybmuG From horrible personal experience, I can confirm that Twinkies can go bad.
That was a grade school lunch trade, and I’m still scarred by it.
@blaineg Well there goes my nuclear holocaust survival plan.
@blaineg @brainmist Maybe they make freeze dried twinkies. That should last 20+ years. I believe the army has 20 year old freeze dried rations they tested, found they were still go and so are keeping them around.
Here’s mine:
Woohoo! But I did notice the pocket smelled rather volatile.
@mehcuda67 Your photoshop has a perspective problem. Nice try though to try to make us jealous.
@Kidsandliz It’s called mehditing when perspectives don’t match.
@Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 it’s all in how you look at it…
well this is odd…
@carl669 Winner!
@carl669 fucking awesome
MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@carl669 Welcome to the goat succession line!
@carl669
You got a tiny Bernie w/ mittens!
Fucking awesome!
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
@carl669 @f00l I want a tiny Bernie with mittens too!
@brainmist but i’ve already been goat. though i don’t think the topic of re-goating was ever settled.
@carl669 @f00l @Kyeh I just want the mittens. My gloves did not do well in the latest Nor’easter.
@carl669 @f00l @Kyeh @njfan You will be able to order Bernie’s mittens from Vermont Teddy Bear. You can sign up now to be the first to get them:
