WTF? The IRK is here already?
22FedEx delivered this intact and undamaged today, on Sunday, when it was shipped yesterday. This amazeballs speed had me expecting that the contents would be truly merderiffic, and… it isn’t! Okay, it’s not oddball-size-android-tablet ++surprising, but it’s perfectly acceptable as a mix of goofy, weird, pointlessly obsolete, and genuinely useful. To wit:
One royal blue IRK bag (pretty)
One pack of a dozen novelty cactus-and-llama-themed pens
One jar of charcoal tooth whitener (bwuh?)
One iPhone6/7/8 case (so very meh)
One knit beanie cap in Army green-ish (useful, for me)

Love that bag.
@f00l That blue is just gorgeous.
I have now experienced the bubblewrap first hand. Let me tell you, it was good. Turbo scrub pro right on top, followed by a power bank/wallet hybrid, then paint I can give to my girlfriend, then meh bag, then snap jacket, then craft paper, and then the big ol kneading foot massager. Thanks meh!
@EditBottomText Congrats on the bubble wrap.
Score, cheers to you both! Especially coveting those llama pens.
The speed on which they got these out tells me they were already prepackaged and they are just slapping labels on them. Mine (ordered later on the mehrathon day) was shipped out Sat for Thursday delivery. I live in Flori-duh.
@Felton10
Condolences. I escaped from Miami in '81.
@werehatrack I’ve been here for 20 years-escaped the Washington DC area. Wouldn’t be so bad except for Gov DeathSentence/Gov DeDumbass (take your pick-both apply).
@Felton10 @werehatrack friend calls him DeSatan. We left in March… but to be closer to the kids
Got mine super quick too!
• Awesome blue bag - my favorite bag yet, just look at my username.
• Sidekick earbuds - might be good for using while mowing the yard
• pop sonic trimmer
• Coco charcoal teeth whitening powder
• Shower Curtain with Cambodian monks and temple print - interesting but doesn’t go with our decor
• Grace & Emma shirt
I’ve had better and had worse. Not sure why I continue to play this game…
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
@bluebeatpete
That’s a colorful shirt.
@bluebeatpete @Star2236 Wait, is that all one shirt?
@sammydog01 @Star2236 Yea, it seems they needed to use some remnants up so the sleeves are striped, leopard and red squares.
@bluebeatpete @sammydog01 @Star2236 It’s an original Gordon Gartrelle…
@bluebeatpete
You won’t be missed in a crowd lol
Mine has not arrived
Patience inured into me
Hope it’s not live bugs
/giphy porky-nuclear-design
seeing these irks… I won the best one… I couldn’t buy one!
@sohmageek
Money in the bank
Only worth what it can buy
Less value than IRK
I got mine today. I wished for something special since today is my birthday. A birthday present to me!
I guess I don’t think too much of myself.
Blue Irk bag. (that’s kinda cool)
A Mac book case (to go with my cases of cases they sent me before that I can’t use).
A package of Iphone screen protectors (that I can’t use since I have a Samsung)
A package of Little Monster socks (no kids here)
And a package of 3 Chocolate Bunny cookie cutters (that I’ll never use).
Not even worth a pic.
Happy Birthday to Meeee… I would be very disappointed if I wasn’t so disappointed.
Thanks, Meh. You made my day. sigh…
@Tadlem43
Opportunity
You must make some cookie dough
The universe speaks
@Tadlem43 Happy Birthday
@cbooboo2 Thank you!
@Tadlem43
/giphy happy birthday!
@sammydog01 Thank you!
@Tadlem43
@ircon96 lol I didn’t know anyone had seem me cooking dinner!
That’s so cute!
Thank you!
@Tadlem43
@Tadlem43 You & me both! It gave me a chuckle, and I had a hunch based on the lack of enthusiasm for the cookie cutters!
@Kyeh lol Thank you!
@ircon96 lol Intense disinterest. lol
Do you want them??
@Tadlem43 Funny, I ALMOST used that exact phrase! Thank you, that’s sweet of you, but it seems we’re in the same culinary boat & they’d be sorely wasted on me, too! We can’t all be Bobby Flay.
@ircon96 lol Yeah… I’m more like Bobby Hill (King of the Hill?)! lol
@Tadlem43
@Tadlem43 /giphy HBD
IRK is in Irving
Not getting it tomorrow
It has not left yet
Mine came on Sunday too. Nothing exceptional, but I’m happy enough with it. It’s got a Sidekick, the pretty blue bag, a couple Trackrs, some footies, what basically looks like a thneed and some other shit. More than worth the $5, but not enough to make me do a jig. “Meh,” as we are wont to say.
The first IRK I received on a Sunday (maybe the first shipment from Mediocre that I’d received on a Sunday) came in a PastaDrop box and included actual wheaty pasta. That may not seem like a big deal to you gluten eaters. As a celiac, I don’t mind admitting that it felt personal, creepy and violent–like someone was targeting me. I felt a little better when I discovered it was indeed from Mediocre and an actual IRK. I felt better still when I discovered I wasn’t the only one.
I don’t actually believe any of the good folks at Mediocre wanted to kill me. Maybe someone there does. It’s possible but seems unlikely, not because I’m such a good guy, but they don’t seem the murderous sort. But it was unsettling. Maybe partly because it made no sense. Why the fuck would someone send me a PastaDrop box when PastaDrop ended ages ago?
/giphy gluten
Meh, you have truly out done yourselves. A broken solar light that arced when I tried to turn it on. You’re lucky the box didn’t start on fire enroute.
/giphy en fuego
My first IRK!
Won’t co-sign the “IR” in IRK. Thank you!
@njfan To get meta i wonder if you could make a frittata and then make egg-shaped cutouts of it?
Yup, got mine as well.
Blue bag.
Jar of teeth remover.
A microfiber/spray bottle.
Some ear plug headphones.
A … really… weird shower curtain.
@Artimid TEETH REMOVER???
@llangley Yup, a gritty rock based rub that you use to slowly, over time, remove your teeth one layer at a time.
Irony.
I ordered a comforter from meh before the IRK.
Received
x1 Concierge Collection Comforter (queen)
x1 pack of home letterboard icons
x1 Casery iPhone 6/7/8 case
x1 Matte Liquid Lipstick set
IRK Contents: Big stack of Meh stickers, Pumpkin spice cups, COCO charcoal teeth cleaning stuff, Some kind of Fabric Wrap with Holes but No Buttons that wants to know how you’ll wear it, iPhone screen protectors, Sidekick bluetooth earbuds, Blue IRK bag #2
@reddinghill I envy your meh stickers. I have one on my jeep. They included them in an irk a long time ago, but they stopped sending them.
@D_a_v_e Whisper if you want more.
I got all the IR in my K!
I regret it all, yet I’m still fulfilled. Thanks Meh!
Blue IRK bag - my 2nd one
) heated jacket - seems pretty nice!!
Sidekick bluetooth earbuds - will try them
White squishy MEH puck
Orange (seriously, what’s with the fucking Gator orange??
Women’s shaping thing size L - not for me
All in all, no regret here!
Thanks, MEH!
@llangley @carl669
/giphy oops they did it again
@llangley @sillyheathen 'tis a fine shade of orange says I.
@carl669 yep, you’re correct. I completely fucking forgot that about you
@carl669 @llangley it suits you sir!
My IRK:
Hair dryer with attachments. Loose in box and in pieces when it arrived, but I was able to put it back together and it seems to work fine. Unfortunately this is our second one from Meh so we’ll find it a good home.
Quench Micro Water Complex Night Relief Creme. Good reviews on Amazon ($8 for this size), except that everyone hates the pump bottle, which this isn’t. Wife says she might try it, so a WIN!
Atomic Charge Wallet. I just don’t see myself using this, but I’m sure that someone will. Will donate.
First Responders dog toy. Our guess is that the doggo will destroy in 5 mins, she’s a heavy chewer. But we’ll give it a shot - WIN!
Red IRK bag. Can’t go wrong with an IRK bag, right?
As always, will donate anything we can’t use to the local thrift shop that supports our animal shelter. WIN! Thanks MEH!!!
Not the worst, but not anywhere near the best.
Dog toy (how about a bird toy)?
Charging wallet
10 KN95 masks
Some makeup shit
Red IRK bag
@Felton10 Walter will look great in that makeup shit.
@cbilyak I would have put him in the picture, but he might have tried to eat it.
@GzBiH Great Haul
got my IRK
pretty forgettable
@futurian haha, “womens lowrise cock things” did you mean sock things?
@Dakini lol yeah…sock
@Dakini @futurian That’s an EPIC typo!!
@futurian You motorized a kid’s tricycle???
@Kidsandliz yes, I did
@futurian @Kidsandliz What young boy hasn’t rode a tricycle down a step hill thinking, man I wish this thing could go faster, without realizing that it was a deathtrap on 3 wheels which could hit a pebble at any point and send him head first over the handlebars? Just because the boy became a man doesn’t mean the boy isn’t still there. He just knows now that a helmet might be a good idea and hopes the bottle of Tylenol is at least half full.
KuoH
The cute pens will be sent to my middle school teacher daughter for incentive gifts now that school is in person again.
The rest will be donated, but that is good too, I split things up between the women’s shelter and the university sustainability free store.
1 Blue IRK Bag
1 Jar CoCo Charcoal Teeth Whitener
3 Pink 5 Volt / 2.1 Amp USB Car Chargers
12 Cacti Themed Pens
1 iPhone 6/7/8 Case (We own Android Phones)
/giphy nippy-mythical-zoo
I got a fully intact cuisinart 11 piece pot and pan set. I am going to gift it to my wife so I didn’t take a picture. We auto share our photos so we always have good kid pics.
Also got a blue IRK bag, the cute pen set you see others got above, a battery powered UV disinfector, iPhone 7 case, and lip balm. Thanks Meh!
@evilstan60 dude, you better include some flowers or candy when you give her pots and pans…. Just saying
Another day, another irk as they say!
1x Vivo magnetic mask
1x Bulbhead 2000mAh battery bank wallet (had sketchy liquid I’m HOPING is just hinge lube and not battery acid)
1x Aquasonic black series toothbrush set (already have sonicare and gave this exact thing to a friend before lol)
1x body beautiful shape wear thing
1x red irk bag
All of my last few irks have been…
Mildly regrettable, meaning they’re exactly meeting specifications! And between the crazy amount of bras I’ve gotten, the purse, and everything else I’m really building up that drag outfit nicely I guess.
@kuoers Mine had sketchy “liquid” in the bulbhead battery bank too. Not sure what to do about that if anything.
Mine was decent, forgot photo before things were taken from me.
Red IRK bag
12" soft computer case - will work for my daughter’s iPad Pro
Twin sheet set - kinda bummed it is not larger because they are nice and we have no twin bed
iPhone case - super cute but I am an Android gal
Facial wipes - daughter swiped
Matte lipstick - daughter swiped
All-in-all pretty darn happy even if I get nothing for myself aside from the IRK bag.
We’ll call this the mostly RED box
Atomic Charge Wallet by BulbHead
Cuisinart Hot Air Popcorn Maker (Red)
Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender (Red)
Masked Hero Dog Toy
Wow, minimum regret! Thanks Meh! Red is my favorite color too!
@mehgrl I got the BLUE box with a blue bag
A food storage container with blue locking tabs
A box of blue fluffy foam putty (says not to be eaten)
AND WRAPPED IN BUBBLE WRAP –
A blue (and white) stackable herb garden planter
I can actually use everything in this IRK, although I’m kinda wondering what the fluffy putty tastes like. Does it taste like soap or maybe blueberry gum?
Thanks Meh!
@Barney we got purple fluffy putty. My daughter said it smelled bad. So I wouldn’t want to eat it.
@remo28 That’s good to know. I’ll just go with Plan B then. I’ll send mine to @sammydog01
@Barney @remo28 Is it blue flavored putty? Yum.
@remo28 @sammydog01 It’s all yours, Sammy, and it is blue flavored.
My IRK is not here! Supposed to come today, but is lost somewhere in New Mexico.
@DTominator Mine was supposed to be delivered yesterday. Today it’s lost somewhere in West Virginia. “Scheduled delivery: Pending.” Hmm.
I got my IRK yesterday. Thanks, meh!

@lc1976 Turn your phone sizeways and click on the icon that looks like a mountain with the moon in the background.
@Kidsandliz thanks for letting me know how! I will
Try it!!!
1 red bag
1 plastic storage container
1 stackable herb garden
1 fluffy foam putty
2 posh ponchos (curious about these, one is huge and one is small. They have button holes on both sides, but nothing to go in the holes. But when I search posh ponchos I don’t find these at all)
@remo28 Same deal on the poncho with mine (post back a couple and the poncho looks like a Dalmatian) - button holes on both sides and no buttons.
@romellex I did a bunch of searching and finally found it. It seems to be a ‘brand’ called boho wrapsody. It appears they had interchangeable buttons. Idk if that was a separate purchase or what. The most I really found was a Facebook page where they seemed to try to start in 2018. Their Etsy page has nothing and showed 0 sales. I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere they were selling 1 for like $40. So that probably explains why they don’t seem to be around now. It’s just a thin piece of cotton with buttons. Searching for posh ponchos showed pretty much everything except for these. So Idk what that tag is about. Maybe they were re-sold and re-branded at one point.
My daughter likes them, so if she wants buttons she can buy what she likes and I can make them for her if she needs help.
@remo28 Very nice research! Thank you!! I found mine there on Facebook as well as yours. I’ve got two granddaughters. One of them might like mine, and I can strike the same button deal with her as you did with yours. When in her teens, that particular granddaughter used to like to prowl my closet and borrow clothes. She explained that they were “retro” and that is why she liked them
!
@remo28 @romellex I also found this. I received two of them so I hope this helps someone. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/760686193285366431/
While my IRK has some better quality stuff than the previous ones, I regret that there isn’t really anything in it that I need. Maybe I’ll keep the UV Protection Wrap in my car, since it’s blue and I might need UV protection someday. Maybe. If anyone wants the Claws, let me know or I’ll add them to my donation pile.
• Halloween Orange Claws M6/W7
• 3 Casery HD Glass Screen Protectors iPhone X/Xs/11 Pro (I have an Android phone)
• Coleman Toothbrush Covers and Soap Dish
• Cable Knit Slouch Beanie (no Meh logo)
• Bubblehead Atomic Charge Wallet
• Blue UV Protection Wrap
• Purpleglow Portable UV Disinfectant
• Quench Micro Water Complex Night Relief Crème
• Quench Micro Water Complex Foaming Cleaners
• Red IRK Bag
Thanks Meh.
My IRK arrived today:
Thanks, Meh!
My box was similar to other so no pic (also most items quickly put into use)
Thanks, Meh, for an only minorly regrettable IRK.
Nothing too exciting (though I’m pretty stoked about the teapot) and nothing totally worthless (briefs will be donated to a shelter so they count as useful). Fairly solid IRK
Hope all you meh-folks know how awesome you are and how much we appreciate what you do ❤❤
Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks, Meh
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
My IRK arrived! It’s minimalist, but not too bad. Contents include (and are limited to):
Thanks, IRK! It’s been fun waiting for this to arrive. It was a small box, so the regret is equally small and only somewhat instant.
My smallest-ever IRK box but a nice eclectic haul.
1 Primitives by Kathy #likeaboss dish towel
1 Sweet Sugarbelle egg-shape cookie cutter
1 Casery iPhone case my daughter may actually use!
1 Posh Poncho Holstein-like diaphanous poncho that has two sets of buttonholes but no buttons!
1 blue!!! IRK bag
Thanks, meh!
Smallest lightest box yet, almost the same as some others :
However, I bought the three random Meh shirts during the Mehrathon, and those are a total win! I’ll post them in that thread.
@Kyeh I’m jealous for the dog toy. Well I should say Willow is.
but still can’t complain in the slightest. And now I’m super excited for my rando tees!!!
Walter saw the dog toy and now feels insecure as he asked us if we were getting a dog to replace him. We told him no- that no one could replace him, but not sure he believes us.
@Felton10 I bet he’d love it if you sent to @sillyheathen, for Willow!
@Felton10 @Kyeh
I would happily pay the postage if Walter isn’t going to use it because Willow would love it forever!
@Felton10 @Kyeh @sillyheathen
“Forever”, in this instance, having a value of “the length of time required for the toy to be dismantled terminally”?
@Felton10 @Kyeh @werehatrack precisely!
@sillyheathen @werehatrack
My sister’s dog wants mine, so it’s not available, unfortunately - but @Felton10,
you could send yours and hope to get something spooky someday in return, maybe!
After all, she’s another one of Koolhandjoe’s loyal customers…
No pic 'cause some is already gone and I’m lazy at 11:58
victimbeneficiary in mindUV-C (really?) wand thingy - may be usable for something, like as a self-defense weapon to burn the retinas of a would-be attacker…slowly…while they wait
Oh, and a Royal Blue IRK bag - will use it with pride!
My formerly lost IRK was found and delivered yesterday, in a ‘treasure hunt’ fashion. Fedex said it was placed on the front porch, but was really left in front of the garage. I eventually found it.
(1) Red IRK bag. Not complaining, but I already have red. Blue would have been nice. Just sayin’.
!! 
(1) Masked Hero dog toy. Sadly, no dog here any longer. I could give it to my MIL’s dog even though the toy is almost as big as the dog.
(1) Atomic charge wallet. $28 on Amazon? Really?
(1) Pink and white fuzzy fabric thing with gathered elastic along part of one side and a velcro closure. I have no idea what this is.
(1) King size sheet set. The only bed size we don’t have in this house.
(1) Libratone Zipp Mini Bluetooth Smart Speaker. Brand new.
Not really regretting this one. Thanks, meh!
@medonsw
Trade you king sheets for twin?
Got mine yesterday. Not particularly regrettable.
1 stacked herb planter
1 package fluffy bouncy foam something or another
1 striped wrap/shawl type thingy
1 set of storage bins (Love these!)
1 blue IRK bag
Thanks, Meh!
Mine arrived on Thursday, but I was at science fiction convention for the weekend. My first convention since COVID hit. Both vaccination and masks required. It was very different than gatherings in the old days. I went to a party in the parking lot Saturday night. We were outside, but masked, as one of the guests has a very ill husband at home with immune system problems. If she were to get a breakthrough infection it could end very badly for him. Other than memorial services, the event was a lot of fun.
Now that I am back home… I got
30 TrackR’s
An iPhone case that is now on my wife’s phone. Her old case was falling apart, and she had a compatible phone. It is a miracle! Or maybe just statistics, as I see a lot of people got similar cases without a compatible phone.
A blue bag.
Xtreme earbuds. They worked!
Pink slippers that are way too small for my feet. They are going to a thrift store.
Masked hero dog toy “not all heroes wear capes” but it’s actually wearing a cape.
Beanie hat
Hair dryer brush
Masks
Blood red IRK bag
Received my Irk the other day. It was indeed very regret filled! Thank you Meh.
Some screen protectors for an iPhone that we don’t have.
A case for an iPhone that we don’t have.
A cookie cutter.
Some sort of scarf thing.
Red Mediocre bag.
Here is a link to my video unboxing if anyone is interested in seeing that. youtube unboxing link
Not gonna bother with photos, everything is already in the thread:
-red bag
-egg shaped cookie cutters
-foam putty, green
-asobu mug, brown, broken
-stacked herb planter, blue, not broken
I’m pretty excited about my herb planter, looks cool. I think I’ll buy one of those overpriced basil plants at the grocery store and stick it in there to see what happens. Pesto for my pasta! Maybe.
Thanks!
@speediedelivery What is the shiny red dude?
@sammydog01 Lip balm. Likely a movie or video game character that I don’t know.
@sammydog01 @speediedelivery
It’s Karl Lagerfeld again.
I feel like meh or @koohlandjoe has been speaking my love language lately.
Herb garden
Gorgeous poncho/shawl
Bouncy slime
Blue bag
And these household trays
Thank you Meh!
I posted mine on some other list of irk reveals. Oops missed this list
red irk bag
foot massager (hurts my feet, but against the chair back sort of ok for my back)
3 of those gold push the elevator button things (for use as a weapon to gouge eyes out I guess now)
1 bag of masks - I guess I need delta to last longer so I can use up all my masks? (LOL - not)
2 of those battery pack for phone charging credit card type “wallet”- good I guess if you have no more than 4 cards and don’t use cash money.
Toy story dvd (for christmas)
Thanks meh!
