Well despite tracking saying I wouldn't receive it until the 10th I actually got it today! wuhoo!

The wuhoo! didn't last too long unfortunately :P

My 2.2lbs included:
2 Cupcake Lipgloss
1 Kids night out bingo
1 yellow bag with a flower on it
1 Optima Pico pocket projector screen
1 brown hand towel with a gold checkerboard pattern at one end
5 bags of Texas air

Yesterday I got a Yugster box, while it was 14 bucks instead of the 3 here at good ol' woot, I did get a desktop usb light/fan, earbud headset, 4 port wall usb charger (for phones, kindles and such), a stainless steel water bottle with holder and carbiner clip and a 40 capacity cd holder.

Needless to say I was dissapointed at my first Bag of Coal when the yugster one kinda kicked its butt. But the anticipation and excitement was worth the price of admission. Ill be down for more!

Just received my package I am very pleased for the $8. All quantities listed below are in a count of 1. With the exception I did get 4,yes 4, bags of Texas air.

Diva Darling White Microfiber Headband
Optoma Pico Pocket Prjector Screen
Avanti Moss Colored Meridian Designed Finger Towel
Gwen's Nest Yellow bag w/Pink flower on it
Skil 21 piece ratcheting screwdriver set (found on Amazon for $11.99), but can't help but wonder if this was Santa's way of telling me that I've been screwed LOL

So while no letter, I did appreciate towards the end there seems to be at least one item different in the bags that were starting to sound the same. Thanks Woot

Yay! I received my crap today! I received a red duffel, very handy with 3 kids, a plastic tabletop tripod, may be useful when I'm not mad at the hubby for not buying me a Christmas present and I wanna be bad lol, a 4 ft Philips hdmi cable, always handy and retails on amazon for almost 8 bucks (paid for my crap right there), and a I think very pretty avanti empress fingertip towel in earth color ( if anyone has relating pieces they don't want pm me, maybe we can work out something). My kids stole my stale Texas air as soon as I opened the box, so I can't verify how much of that i had. Overall, I'm happy. Thanks Woot for making my crap special

2.3 pounds arrived today although according to FedEx/uSPS, it's still at the post office.
1 super special birthday survival kit from kids woot
1 black mini duffel bag
1 washcloth with a seashell
1 Phillips pro HDMI cable (this will be useful for when I finally get a TV or monitor that uses HDMI)

All in all, no complaints, happy to have scored something after several recent episodes of stabbing furiously at the "This Info is Correct" button failed to deliver.
Like Arnold, I'll be back.

Okay - I initially didn't post a pic of my crap because it was pretty standard. But I got something that I haven't seen elsewhere, and I can't decide what it is / they are.

pic of all crap - standard mostly





The unknown item. Is it a golf tool? Or corn-on-the-cob holders for the golf enthusiast?

Hmm... My cat had similar symptoms, and it turned out to be his flea medicine. He would sort of twitch and shake, and his bag legs would kick out behind him uncontrollably causing him to fall over.

W00t! Santa's Sack of Crap 2011 by Ringo67, on Flickr

My first Bandolier of Confectionery was waiting for me when I came home today. It turns out the 1 lb weight that I thought was a placeholder was correct. So, needless to say, no T-shirts, Footflush or pop-up sprinklers for me.

What I did get was:

1 x large orange tote bag with a red flower on it
2 x cupcake lip gloss
1 x embroidered burgundy washcloth
1 x Diva Darling headband
1 x container of caca task clips

The clips are the best thing in the box, though I can't really bring them to work, unfortunately. The washcloth is nice and will get some use. The tote bag will probably replace the bag I've been using to bring my mom's laundry back and forth from the nursing home. I think she'll love it. She might be able to use the Diva Darling as well.

All-in-all I am very happy with my crap. Though I am disappointed that I didn't get any Texas air. Heck, I had to complain about something. :{)



This looks just like my crap. However, we were shocked by the clips, since we have kids in the house. They stood there with their jaws dropped. This was my crappiest box of crap ever - and after all the 503 errors, too. I think I'll pass on future Burgandy Olfactory Center#39;s - they have really gone downhill.

Received my 4.2lbs bag today and I received what was promised.

- red duffel bag
- tan dish towel
- table top tripod

And finally....one loosely packed childs Maxscope microscope set including slides of bugs. Haven't tested it out as it uses batteries which I don't have at the moment.

The woot gods truly delivered crap.

6.1 lbs - standard fair

1 - Reusable Orange Bag w/Pink Flower
1 - Fun Footflush
1 - White Hand Towel
1 - Diva Darling Facial Mitt
5 - Assorted Colors XL Blank T-shirts
8 - Bags texas air, 2 deflated

Well worth the $8, but no geek factor and fully expected for my weight class. In fact, except for the last line, I just copy and pasted another post so I didn't have to type it again.

Reading all the posts it appears that there is some randomness in this load. Nice to have a break from reading virtually the same post over and over.

Really crappy crap:

2.4 pounds:

Washcloth
Kids Bingo (2nd crap this is in)
Spitball dartboard (also second crap this is in)
Flower tote
Cow Microbes (???)
Woot Monkey
Cupcake lip gloss (also second crap this has made an appearance in)


5.9 pounds:

Footflush (second crap this has made an appearance in)
washcloth
5 pack xl tees
Flower tote

After we opened our craps mr. yrguide looked me in the eye and said "We have to stop buying these craps, this is dollar store crap." and sadly I agree. It looks like woot is buying crappy dollar store crap in bulk to put in the boxes which is really taking all of the diversity and mystery out of it.

Hopefully Col. Crap can get this worked out but it appears to me that woot is looking at this like a money maker rather than the bit of fun it's meant to be.

I know the rules of the crap but I gotta say crappy regurgitated crap is simply crap.

I need a hug.

2 cupcake lip glosses

1 pico projector board

1 brown washcloth/snot rag/liquid removal tool

1 reusable bag , yellow with a pink flower

Just opened my 2.1 lb of crap.

1 - Reusable Orange Bag w/Pink Flower
2 - Cupcake Lip Glosses
1 - Pico Pocket Projector screen
1 - Kids Night out Bingo cards
1 - PLAIN tan washcloth

The only thing I got that no one else reported was attached to the washcloth. It was a dead bug.

I tried for three years, including 2 processed, charged, and cancelled bags of crap, to get this haul. Not complaining as per rules, but I am willing to trade the bug to the first taker

What kind of bug? Bugs in the washcloths mean mine are going straight into the garbage...I don't want bugs in the house.

A couple of craps ago I got a pair of furry "fun" handcuffs in my bag. The box for them had some fairly suggestive blurbs on it, which is probably par for an "adult" item such as that. However, having such an item in the box has stopped my making the opening of the Burgandy Olfactory Center from Woot! a family event.
