Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

There are people out there that don't know what the famed 'Bindle of Carrots' is?!?

Best Bundle of Crops contained a case of junior digital thermometers

Worst: One catch a plush toy between your knees game and no bag -- zero points for less than 3 crappy items and no bag.

Those who answered "NONE AND I'M NEVER..." may have a hard time getting one without buying anything before they get one. These bags do need to be bought before they're gotten, generally.

Have you been eating that sandwich again?

Has anyone been able to get a Ball of Chains this go-round? From the game perhaps?

And if I wasn't dyslexic I could get one of the carps now on the shooting gallery game. Seriously, what level does one have to get to in order to win?

Been trying but only got to 19690 points on Level 3 after trying for 20 minutes. Not good at this.

I'd be pretty darn sure 3K folks have been able to get craps in the game to make further effort useless. I wasn't even able to get that many points after 20 mins of playing - then you see scores at level 100 in the score sheet

The games are there for amusement value only. The CRAPSHOOT game awarded Bundle of Crops back on April 1st, the Sling Monkey game was for Kids Woot!'s birthday.

Good for killing time waiting for the Bundle of Crops to arrive, though!

I thought that most of the stuff I got was a Bindle of Carrots... LOL... just kidding but seriously I've never gotten one.

It's a little confusing cuz there is a grayed out button "order your crap" so the eternal optimist in me keeps hoping that it is still active...probably just a cruel trick :-(

I'm firmly in the 4 or more group. The thrill of the order process and waiting for confirmation (and later shipping) is worth the $8, or at least that's what I keep telling myself.

Scored one a few months ago, was less than thrilled, gave or threw away most of what was in the box, won't try for another one.

But more power to those for whom the thrill is not yet gone!

Happy Bundle of Crops-ing!

I wonder what percentage of woot's profits come from selling Bundle of Crops?

I've gotten a few bags of crap over the years I've been on woot. It definitely used to be much easier. I don't think I've gotten more than 3 in one year, but I'm not going to dig through the my account on both my accounts to check.

Been fortunate to snag 5 bags of crap so far. Last one was the most useful. Most fun Bundle of Crops was getting about 30 3" long USB to mini-USB cables. A friend gave them out as Halloween treats. I can just hear the kids look at them and say, "What is this crap?" Exactly!

Not enough for my taste lol. Although I've ordered a TON of stuff over the years and been ready the first seconds a Bundle of Crops goes live, I still rarely got lucky enough to get through and order it. Wish there was extra weight given to loyal customers who already buy a lot lol ;).

Can someone please explain what this "Bags of Crap" &/or "Bundle of Crops" thingy is & how it works?

I've managed to snag 8 Bundle of Crops, but I've been at the computer for many more, just not lucky enough to survive the woot server meltdown every time. I've been wooting since the beginning, hence the charter membership ^_^

I was close once... Oh Woot! Masters do you want 57% of responders to a poll as of too early in the day to be wanting and not having? More Bottles of Conditioner please.

My glory days of Wooting were when I worked night shift and was up most of the night anyway. Back when a guy won a large flat screen TV. Now the B'sOC packages are real junk.

6 Random Craps
3 Bags of Craps

Most memorable one was 10 boxes of 100 packets of 50 photo paper sheets and 45 tune cubes. (Those little mp3 player speakers)

Most useful item: a dinosaur, great for office pranks!

Most sad item: a wine.woot wine bottle bag with no bottle of wine

It's a way to crash the servers...

Seriously, the idea is that you order without knowing what you are going to get. It can be anything; from the previously mentioned big screen TV, to something that Woot staff picked up out of the office break room.

I just hope they continue to confine their hunt for items to the break room. When they venture forth to the bathrooms, it'll give a whole new dimension to the Bundle of Crops

My first one was really good. Two ipods,a zune, another mp3, plus lots of kinda neat stuff. The second was a real Bindle of Carrots.

Hate the game - tried back in April - never got anywhere. Saw it this time and didn't even try. Got mine the last woot-off. Nice portable speeker for an iPod/iPhone - but since I don't own either had to give it to my daughter - at lease she was happy. I was surprised when I did a search and saw the list price. So didn't do bad, I got to see a big smile on my daughters face.

Better then that were the totes I got a while back over at shirt woot. If you don't know what I'm talking about - Woot! had a limited time offer that took you to a special page. There were T-shirts there, which I totally ignored. There were also 3 different totes - Nevermore, The Binge and Bundle of Crops. Was in for 3 on each. One each for myself - of course. After much begging my eldest daughter got one of each. The others are for gifts. The Bundle of Crops one will be a double gift, inside will be the actual birthday gift. He will have bragging rights - "I got a Bundle of Crops for my birthday!"

I am frustrated beyond belief with the "game" that must be won in order to be among the privileged to purchase a Bag of C r a p . I don't know the trick to it and give up trying. Really turns me off of Woot.

I'm surprised to see the Actual Expression on this board, but the AutoCensor seems to be hard at work transforming even a three-initial phrase into "Bundle of Crops"

Nothing less offensive. Bundle of Crops was just changed to be humorous.

Unfortunately, my Bundle of Crops turned out to be just that. Not a thing in it worth keeping - just a waste of $5 for shipping.

I won't even bother trying to get another.

Honestly it is all about the hunt and not the actual what's in the Bindle of Carrots.

I have only got myself one Big Ornery Caballo. It is so annoying that the server always crashes... but i guess that adds to the mystique.

It would be great if they include one of these in each Bundle of Crops.



Sadly they have already been reckoned, without ever appearing on the reckoning. I was in for 3 on this limited offer.

Since I bought these, am I allowed to go back and change my vote to 4!
