The thing with Lootcrate and other such services is that every month there is at least 1 item I think is really neat and I would never have thought of buying myself, then a bunch of other stuff I don't care about. They need to sell Lootcates. Nothing but a box full of random catalogs. That's like getting 10s of 1000s of item. Also, Lootcats: Just boxes of cats mailed to you every month. edit: Years ago a LOT of stores in our area used to do random grab bags of stuff for about $5-10. Sometimes you'd strike gold with what they'd bundle in a sealed brown paper bag. But I don't think I've seen a local place do anything like that in years at this point.

Is there a RubberCrate service? Every month they send you some random condoms from all over the world. (New, not used.) Imagine when pot is finally 100% legal. You can't tell me someone isn't going to create some $100 a month 'Smokebox' service that sends out little sample baggies of different kinds of pot. edit: Cerealbox! It's a service that sends you a box every month filled with 8 different samplers cereal boxes, oatmeals packets and breakfast shakes.

https://www.lootcrate.com/past_crates $20 a month for the least popular $10 plastic figurines that cost $2 to make and the manufacture has thousands sitting in overstock that they sell to loot box for probably 50 cents each, then a bunch of promotional comic books and stickers and XL tshirts with nerd poo poo that are probably made out of burlap  This is stuff you literally would struggle to give away but somehow if you put $20 price tag on and it call it a nerd game thing then its worth something.

Tarkus posted:I've seen them open those Lootcrates on youtube. There's nothing but trash inside, why would anyone buy them? If you are trying to sell yourself as an authentic nerd on Youtube, Twitch, Twitter, etc you need a few giant shelves of overpriced nerd crap that are openly visible behind you. Lootcrate manages to cater directly to this demographic. Otherwise how are you going to easily show people how much of a cool nerd you are?

The only thing more insulting than a lootcrate might be edible arrangements, because no one in the office will eat them, ever, and then they turn mushy in about a day anyway Just send me a case of Mexican Coke if you want to show appreciation, California!

Because I'm a horrible nerd, I was once tempted to subscribe to Tokyo Treat because hey, hosed-up snacks from Japan! Then I realized I could just drive to Jungle Jim's every month, grab twice as much random poo poo from the Japanese aisles that I'd get in a box, and I'd spend less than if I'd subscribed. Even better because it's Jungle Jim's I can get actual legit weird snacks like cheddar jalapeno crickets, tamarind flavored soda, emu jerky, and durian.

Once I got lootcrate poo poo in a secret Santa from a nerd friend. A HYDRA pin, a Mockingjay pin and a dr. who spork. The pins are still exactly where I left them when I opened the wrapping paper four months ago. I tried eating ice cream with the spork and it immediately broke. I expected nothing, got them for free and still came away unhappy. The Wizard of Poz posted:Nerds are absolutely loving retarded and, historically, unbelievably bad with money
