A Box of __________ Shipped to Your House Each Month

What can we look forward to appearing in our mailbox each month? Or perhaps on that bench where all the smokers sit.

A bomb? That seems illegal.

Currently? Cupcakes.

Its a bit much tbh but it was a bday present.

Or razor blades.

Cupcakes? Where's your vlog at? Want to see some unboxing.

I hear all sorts of 10/10 reviews for that dollar shave club. Still seems like a convoluted way to solve a simple problem.

Jeez that's a lot of candy for one month.

What your bacon-tastic package includes:

• 2 different packages (about a pound each) of our very own gourmet bacon delivered to your door each month for either of the 3, 6, or 12 month prepaid memberships you have selected. "Auto-Renew" customers will receive 2 packages each month automatically, forever, or until you decide to cancel. But really, let's be honest here. Who would want to cancel?

• A fun and stylish black t-shirt that says, "Bacon is Meat Candy™". Because we know you love to wear clothes almost as much as you love bacon. Just tell us what size you would like at the checkout, and then you can roll around town in bacon style.

• Pure Joy.

had to happen

Adam, they have different monthly plans. You get to choose the one you feel right for your shaving needs.

Dollar Shaving Club members need not apply.

I liked the thinking on this: "Hmmm, what else arrives monthly?"

No go apparently. HANKS FOR VISITNG, WE'RE DONE FOR NOW. 3 and 6 month users will receive a pro-rated refund.

Hanks really fucked up

I was ok with this trend until my work replaced my monthly wage with a box of roots

Ten dollars a month gets you

In a random batch of advertising I received in the mail today, MANSCAPED.

guys i have an idea. 31 COVID TESTs shipped to your house every month.

Xpost they send pubes in the mail?

Every month a new “I Shaved My Balls For This?” shirt.

A box of FRAUDULENT BALLOTS shipped etc.

sure sign me up I’ll do my part

Ghost Box

was really hoping that there was a service that will every month ship to your house a box that appears empty but is in fact filled with ghosts

think that's amazon

My brain will never not fill in "A Box of ___DICKS___Shipped to Your House Each Month"

A Box of _______ Shipped to a Landfill from Your House Every Month

any parents have experience with these monthly activity boxes? my mom wants to subscribe to one on my behalf.

I send a few to my nieces (age 3 & 5) that have been well-received: Green Kids Crafts, Little Passports, and Highlights Hidden Pictures. The Green Kids one seems to be the favorite so far.

babbies

mine are 9 and 12 so a bit older.. some of these look cool:

the electronics ones in particular look pretty rad

I've done KiwiCo Doodle crates for my daughter, really neat, though you have to accept you're paying an incredible markup on craft supplies

Yeah he's good on Tiktok - he got a gig making little movies for SNL now I think??

lol at a service where they send you a cup to spit in every month to track your whiteness over time

A relative signed my kids up for this Jewish Holiday box thing that (1) never actually arrives in time for the holiday and (2) just isn't that well put together, like trying very hard to be a modern yet child-friendly take on tradition but just not connecting with kids at all. But the worst part is that the startup making these (which turns out to be Israeli) claims to offer these for multiple cultures, but the other culture options are "Chinese" and "Indian" as though those are somehow analogues to "Jewish." A very provincial interpretation of multiculturalism that struck me as peculiarly Israeli.

i had taco bell last week for the first time in many years and.... it was kinda gross

A box of boxes and packaging materials. Don’t deny that that would be useful.

xpost one for the poster

"Only 'kinda' gross! We're improving in our key demographics!"

taco bell pass would be great if it wasn't terrible and if you didn't need a phone for it.

I can't help but picture some weird crepey dude with a closet full of uneaten, still-wrapped tacos

doesn't eat them, just takes them home from the store and hoards them

you never know when you might need diarrhea

you'd have to stock up over 3 days to make a meal. Otherwise, you are saving $1.60-$3.00 per meal, and you'd have to eat Taco Bell meals once per week or more to even make your money back.

but they probably give you a special membership card you can show off to your friends*

*Amazon delivery people

I once downloaded the app since they bragged about having some sort of secret menu on there.

It was crazy.

Secret menu. Achievements you could unlock. And then there were the discounts.

I was earning a free taco with each order, but the catch was that the freebie expired in 48 hours. Like hell was I going to go to Taco Bell even once a month, especially not three times a week.

They know what they're doing over there. Someone will show up.

there's a section labeled "challenges" that challenges me to purchase a $2 burrito and get 50% off any $2 burrito on my next order.

do i need to convince the cashier to give me that 50% off on my next $2 burrito order? is that the challenge? i don't want to get anybody into trouble.

mega challenge: do this at the drivethru at 1:30am with the line wrapped around the block

challenge: give us your money

Taco Scrum: give us your money, weekly

JEL!!!!! hello!!

Not surprised, I rarely received my box of birch from them, usually they sent pine, occasionally it would just be a lump of MDF

Have we gone past Peak Box Of Crap? Feel like it ended with lockdowns.

looks like we missed this one (unclear whether still an ongoing concern)

Lunarly Subscription Service
In July 2018, Scotts collaborated with BuzzFeed Inc. to develop a subscription service called Lunarly, which mails crystals, house plants, and other wellness items based on the lunar calendar.[13] The joint effort with BuzzFeed's Product Labs, facilitated by ad agency MullenLowe U.S., is an attempt to make gardening popular among millennial women, thereby opening up avenues for the 150+ year-old company to make inroads with younger consumers.[14] While reviews of the self-care boxes have been mixed,[15] they have repeatedly sold out with over $1 million in incremental sales as of May 2019.[14]

i was on etsy the other day and got recommended a “spell” for £38. free re-cast included though so i figure i can’t lose
