A pallet of 864 bottles of car wax!

3x4x6 boxes containing a dozen containers of various flavors of Victory Wax.

Now, who's got a dirty car?

Oh that is classic... Love it!!!

Still missing some weight though.

You've got your English metrics confused.

It's 16 fluid ounces. Which isn't necessarily 1 fl oz per oz.

Plus the weight of packaging, of course...

I'm sure that is 16 fl oz, not by weight.

Same here. I got a dirty deeds shirt. Not as exciting as huge frickin pallet of wax, but better than my last crap.

8 fl oz = 1 lb. so 16 fl oz x 864 bottles = 1728 lbs.

btw congrats, sorta, hahaha. the anticipation was so worth it.

btw it is 16 fl oz to 1 lb. But that is pure fluid such as just pure water.

converting oz to pounds is not that simple though, when its not water. OZ is a measure of VOLUME LB is a measure of WEIGHT. So that means that because wax is way more dense than water 16 oz of wax will not equal 1 lb.

Come on guys, simple logic here. Plus there is all of the packaging and even the pallet I am assuming is included in the weight.

oops, 8 fl oz = 1 cup. hahaha (yes, one would use cup more than lb as a measurement in baking.) :P

So 8 fl oz of motor oil weighs the same as 8 fl oz of water? They have different densities.

all i remembered was 8 fl oz = something, and 16 (dry) oz = something. and that they are not the same thing. but considering the estimated weight of the pallets according to fedex and woot, my conversion isn't very far off in case of the victory wax. :P it ain't water!

I stand corrected... sorry to say I am very glad that I did not receive that palette of wax..

I can visualize a giant Slip and Slide made with car wax.....

Then again, it's probably already on you tube.

Maybe this is is the surround sound system that goes with all the speakers?

Yep, that's exactly the sort of crap over which my wife would kill me, unless I managed to work a deal and sell it to some car wash or car supply place...

I bet you could sculpt one heck of a Devil's Tower outta that.

I was wondering the same thing--gtrst7711, are you missing the right rear speaker that turned up in my box of randomness?

jamiert wrote:I was wondering the same thing--gtrst7711, are you missing the right rear speaker that turned up in my box of randomness?

I think the left-rear is the only thing left from the system now that hasn't been reported in the forums LOL. Between this and the car wax, I'm loving the Woot humor this time around.

Actually this is all speakers plus a sub, but no receiver. I'll post some pics a little later.

Getting the letter is a CURSE I tell you! Unless figuring out how to dispose of a whole pallet of car wax is your cup of tea... what a burden...

With every Bowl of Cereal I get I begin to "fear" the letter after seeing what these poor souls have received lately.

16 oz of water = 2 pounds.

Looks like the movie with have to be a "clean" one!

Grinning here.

1 gram = 0.0353 ounces

A friend has deemed it:
Bounty of Carwax

Contents:
iWave iPod/MP3 speaker dock
Dirty Deeds shirt
Lego iPod speaker
Jonas Brothers accesory case
and...
Invisio G5 Bluetooth headset sans actual Bluetooth headset (charging case, power cord and rubber ear things are all I got)

I'm guessing they lost the Bluetooth part and just sent the pieces. If I'm wrong I would not be disappointed.

Gotta love those mini-tripods. One of the legs peeled right off while taking it out of the package! No snapping sound, just peeled off like the plastic was melted. Nice!!

I just got my glow in the dark woot monkeys in the mail and is it just me or does the fur on them feel kind of gross and not as soft as the fur on the regular ones?

just checking something here!!!

I noticed that too. Must be something about the glow in the dark material. Can't say I have seen it in a fake fur before
