@RogerWilco my margarita scale is based on the dumbest thing Iāve done at max-margarita count prior to passing out. 14 was my limit (standard 6oz mixed) and I still have the Cigar Store Indian statue.
These umbrellaās would be around 19 margaritas in, with serious liver damage and alcohol poisoning, when Iād buy one.
@Woody1 They need to include a thing that looks like a Bluetooth speaker but actually holds the plastic bottle from this when you are using the umbrella.
And letās be honest, pretty much everyone that buys and uses this will forget to air the umbrella out later and will go to use it again a month later to be assaulted with mold spores!
Considering I can never get an umbrella to go back into those nylon sock-thingies, I donāt think this is for me. Every umbrella Iāve ever owned grew twice its (folded) size after the first use.
@TheFLP The large golf umbrellas do okay, you can pull the strap tight and it wraps up close to the original size. I started using those in college since it could keep my backpack dry, too.
@TheFLP, you could give it to your mother {i mean, on Mothersā Day-before you jump on my ass}, so you can drive her crazy like you have since you were born [maybe]!
The only purpose I could see for this is to leave the bottle in your car so you donāt toss a wet umbrella on the floor. Itās easier to just use a plastic bag.
Iām gonna buy this just as a conversation piece [or 2 pieces] even though most people will just think I have a water bottle, or an umberella & a water bottle. That said, whereās the Purple one? I need to purchase some item since meh is charging me $4.99 for shipping, even when thereās nothing to ship!Āæ
itās nice that they give the dimensions for the bottle but am I the only one who wonders how big the umbrella is? not that it matters, I have enough water bottles and umbrellas (single purpose for each btw)
This could actually be pretty handy for public transitāon a crowded bus/subway, thereās no totally right way to hold a wet umbrella without getting yourself or others a bit wet. This will be a nice upgrade from stuffing it in a spare plastic bag.
The only application I can think of for buying this is to smuggle an umbrella into an outdoor venue like a stadium where you are not allowed to have umbrellas. āThis? Oh, thatās just my water bottle.ā
@goldnectar There is almost twice as much blue than red. Blue = 191, Red = 94. But then how much red is necessary before blue is considered to be purple? The bottle has Blue = 184, Red 66, but looks more blue than the umbrella does. Maybe it has something to do with the green that is added. Lucky for me, Iām not a color scientist as I wouldnāt perform well in that field.
OK that is a really silly item. Might actually be pretty useful. However, Iām in the Pacific Northwest, where it rains all the time, or at least, it used to. Not so much anymore. And we donāt use umbrellas here, at least the locals donāt. You can tell the tourists by their umbrellas. Here we either use Gore-tex, or get wet and enjoy it.
this is actually a great idea. but, i have no use for an umbrella. (i prefer to just wear something with a hood or take an uber.) umbrellas usually only serve to get destroyed by the wind and/or hassle other pedestrians trying to get by.
We hardly use umbrellas in the island itās too pricey n locals lives from farming n sea foods. We go mud slides during rainy days. Itās so much fun. Or we go to the wharf & deep diving hhhh cheers everyone

Yep. Looks like it will immediately rip in any amount of wind. Not worth $10.
I love purple.
@Barney, I love ribs!!
What the hell?
@phendrick Anyway, my insurance agent already said I have an umbrella policy.
But, finally, I have a way to carry an umbrella on my bicycle. My life is complete.
@phendrick, but do you have a bottle, not a water, or liquor bottle?
Sooooooā¦ I drink out of this, yes?
@nolrak You can drink out of almost anything that holds liquid.
Let that moisture really become vintage in that water bottle
@thechinglish, aged=moldish!
Viola, no dripping.
Cello, no mess.
Bassoon, youāre safe from the monsoon.
@djslack Whatās a little dyslexia amongst friendsā¦
God yes. Absolutely need this.
/image supreme-tolerant-salsa
This will be perfect for all those times when I wished I had an umbrella that could fit comfortably in my cup holder
on the margarita scale, this one is alcohol poisoning.
@alacrity I want that margaritaā¦ but not this umbrella.

@alacrity @RogerWilco, especially if it opened up inside your stomach. Dam, that hurt just posting the 1st sentence!!
Instructions unclear meh caught in toaster.
Perfect āwater bottleā for taking to office meetings. Handy defense if conflict gets out of hand!
/giphy but_why
@rileyper, why not?
And what in the hell are you supposed to do with the stupid plastic bottle that doesnāt even have the clip on it while youāre using the umbrella?
@Woody1 fill it up with water, and quaff!
@Woody1 my first thought exactly!!
@Woody1 They need to include a thing that looks like a Bluetooth speaker but actually holds the plastic bottle from this when you are using the umbrella.
The purple one should be called Purple Rain.
And letās be honest, pretty much everyone that buys and uses this will forget to air the umbrella out later and will go to use it again a month later to be assaulted with mold spores!
@savvysapphire mmmmmmā¦ā¦ Spores.
Another silly solution to a problem that not only doesnāt exist, but that no rational person would have even conceived of.
Bravo, Meh. You have now surpassed peak Meh and redefined the very parameters of Meh-dom.
@shahnm, yes, they have moved from meh-ish to your meh-dom!!
Considering I can never get an umbrella to go back into those nylon sock-thingies, I donāt think this is for me. Every umbrella Iāve ever owned grew twice its (folded) size after the first use.

@KevinS10 @TheFLP, well, la-di-da, i mean, good for you!
@KevinS10
Hard to fit one of those in a bag (or backpack). If I canāt take it with me all the time, Iāll get caught without it on a regular basis.
This is the perfect product for desert dwellers. When the water runs out, you know it is time to put the umbrella away and go indoors.
/giphy unmoving succinct tick
waitā¦ nope.
You canāt fool me Meh! I know the smell of an old soggy umbrella. I donāt need to trap that scent in a bottle.
Stupid rain.
It rains here two weeks out of the year. And even then, most of you wouldnāt even call it rain.
/giphy Sooooooā¦ nope.
I was so close in buying, but I realized Iād have to carry an empty bottle and an umbrella if I wanted to use it.
just want I want in my free hand not holding the umbrella, a cup for my umbrella.
Took me a few seconds to figure out what you meant.
Sounds like a great way to grow some mold
The only purpose I could see for this is to leave the bottle in your car so you donāt toss a wet umbrella on the floor. Itās easier to just use a plastic bag.
āā¦Just remember to air-dry the umbrella later.ā
SO meh.
Iām gonna buy this just as a conversation piece [or 2 pieces] even though most people will just think I have a water bottle, or an umberella & a water bottle. That said, whereās the Purple one?

@decoratedwarvet Theyāre calling the blue one āpurple gemā
ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
@therealjrn, yeah, i found that out when i went to check-out. Damn, i wanted a Blue one!! The White one will eventually be Black & White!
/giphy phenomenal-overactive-dancer
I used these. Back when I was a super villian. But not anymore. Damn you Flying Mammal Man!!
itās nice that they give the dimensions for the bottle but am I the only one who wonders how big the umbrella is? not that it matters, I have enough water bottles and umbrellas (single purpose for each btw)
@burckhartjack Amazon says 36x22. Waiting for a reply from meh.
@burckhartjack @RiotDemon 38" x 38" x 22"
This could actually be pretty handy for public transitāon a crowded bus/subway, thereās no totally right way to hold a wet umbrella without getting yourself or others a bit wet. This will be a nice upgrade from stuffing it in a spare plastic bag.
@SadEthnicChild And if someone next to you is choking, you can offer them a swig of your delicious umbrella water! Win-win!
/image moldy water
@ddbelyea I mean, or I can just dump out the water and dry out the umbrella when I get to work/home.
@SadEthnicChild How does that help the person choking next you?
@ddbelyea Iām commuting on crowded mass transit on a rainy day. Why would I care about the welfare of my fellow human beings?
Voila*
@adamwesv Oui, nāest pasā¦
The only application I can think of for buying this is to smuggle an umbrella into an outdoor venue like a stadium where you are not allowed to have umbrellas. āThis? Oh, thatās just my water bottle.ā
Seems right for those sunny camp pickup lines, no mold risk involved!
/giphy adhesive-immature-knot
Is it just me or my screen? That āpurpleā option looks blue af.
@goldnectar There is almost twice as much blue than red. Blue = 191, Red = 94. But then how much red is necessary before blue is considered to be purple?

@cengland0
@cengland0 @goldnectar
Thereās a new one - Pink and white or Green and grey? I call grey and green.
@goldnectar I love purple.

@pmarin
Ahh, you made me laugh! Born/raised in King Co. WA. Proud to say I still have my durable webbed feet and mossy back. LOL
this is actually a great idea. but, i have no use for an umbrella. (i prefer to just wear something with a hood or take an uber.) umbrellas usually only serve to get destroyed by the wind and/or hassle other pedestrians trying to get by.
Iām thinking this might be a good choice for the āone itemā you can bring with you on Naked and Afraid.
These are super dumb.
No
Has Irk always had BABY ARMs?
@kdemo I MISSED THE BABY ARMS!
@sammydog01 - They are back, baby!
Though I love the concept of the cased umbrella
, the quality of the umbrella absolutely sucks!
We hardly use umbrellas in the island itās too pricey n locals lives from farming n sea foods. We go mud slides during rainy days. Itās so much fun. Or we go to the wharf & deep diving hhhh cheers everyone
