unheard of 7 day sellout streak...
33I was listening to my usual local radio station this morning (yes they still exist) and it happens to be a public-radio affiliate in Dallas (KXT). One of their sound bites is “we are member-supported radio,” which is so boring as to never really get my attention which I love (definitely NOT the “kxt, the republic of music” one - which I hate). More music less talking please. Yes I know I can play a playlist and I do when forced but that’s like giving myself birthday presents - there’s no serendipity.
Anyways this morning I was thinking “You know, Meh is Member Supported too.” Are we missing out on a good vibe by not bragging about how helpful that is to us? It sure seems that way to me, but then again we’re also a regular old commercial enterprise and not a public benefit. Maybe someday it’s worth blurring that line.
Anyways, this thread is to talk about a sellout streak that you, and/or our supporting members, caused to happen. Well that and the stuff we scheduled was not overabundant. But mostly you, because we didn’t fake it.
Our last 7 entire days sold out. Job done before midnight.
Here they are:
Thank you! And thank you if you’re a member because we’re member-supported.
Now. Do. Any. Of. You. Like. Mini-chocolate Stroopwafels? Know someone who might?

I saw what you did there.
So, wait, is this like a click face streak for you?
@Kidsandliz it’s actually pretty complicated. The purest mindset is solving a problem of X-quantity of inventory that you need to move where Y-price moves them all. Often, there are just too many, too few, or the flexibility to make the item exciting at all just isn’t there. But when it works, it’s great to see.
Honestly I don’t know if there’s ever been a 7 day sellout streak. It’s not a goal we track that precisely.
okay I bought the mini chocolate stroopwafels. Yum.
@er1c I did too. going to have to put them out for the guests.
Stroopwaffels will stop the streak
@somf69 They did
Aaaaaannndddd … it’s OVER!! Time to start a new one now.
How many were left? Time for a remnant sale. Or maybe IRK fillers, eventually.
@heartny We sold through 85% of the inventory. How many were left?
@heartny @troy
15% of the inventory. Hahaha
@heartny @troy Purple. The answer is purple.
@heartny @troy
Starting count 748 ±
636 sold
112 left ±
From other things that were said, I infer that most of the remainder is chocolate mini-stroops. Since the minis were by far the less appealing deal from a cost-per-ounce standpoint, that’s not any kind of a surprise.
/jinx
Stroop! There it went!
@werehatrack the lessor known b-side of “Whoomp! There It Is”
Does it still count towards the streak if they sell out the next day?
@walarney Hey, if our Meh-button count resets for a single miss, so does their sellout. It’s only fair.
@snapster So, are you keeping the stroops up for sale to pad the streak?
/giphy crazy like a fox
@ybmuG They did that with one of the batches of decent masks, too. (I bought some.)
And now the Stroops have been replaced by the Squirts in their not-over-at-Midnight-ness. I think Meh is going Yogi Berra on us.
But the shorts are sold out in some size and color combos already, as could be expected.
I feel like you should also recognise that you are VMP-supported, not just member-supported.
Can you procure more of the electric bikes - I mean commuter folding 20-inch electric bicycles, please?
I couldn’t make my usual impulse Meh purchase because $500 is a lot more than Stoopwaffels. Also I’m almost out of Fookits so please find more in the back alley - dark chocolate, please! And don’t we all need another box of 300 Love Corn corn nuts? (Because a certain airlines was looking for a substitute for peanuts and evidently the purchase went south, meaning they ended up on Meh).
This – When I started with Meh, I never expected that they would expect us to spend more than 29.99, but here we be.
Also, I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about in the “newsletter” you sent out about who owns who but if it’s not a bad thing, congrats I guess(?)
@evgrosen not much is changing - just a loud mouth founder here making noise now.
thanks for the deal input!
I might have bought the stoopidwaffels if the price wasn’t
2¢ less per box than at the local supermarket…
FedEx has confiscated this order of Stroopwafels today, rerouting it to our state capital without explanation. Politically motivated lol? I have no f’n idea but not happy!
