They seem a bit overpriced.

Yeah, just a little bit.

Obā-san · 2012-09-05 20:06:29

But it comes in a CRATE

Tre · 2012-09-05 20:12:01

That whiskey better be made of Elf Tears and the Ink of Squid Pro Quo. Jeez.

ManCrates · 2012-09-05 20:31:56

Hey gang. I just saw we had a few visitors from Heaper's Hangout and I hadn't heard about this site yet so I thought I'd come check it out and say hi.

We're in our first year at Man Crates and still figuring a lot of things out.

We're probably never going to be the cheapest gift option, but I thought I'd just point out the costliest part of the Whiskey Crate is the personalization- we've still got some manual steps to do ourselves and we work with contractors in the laser shop. As mentioned by Mr. Truant, the gifts do ship in a totally bad-ass crate that you do have to open with the included mini-crowbar, if you compare us with traditional gift baskets I think we deliver something way cooler at a good value.

Thanks for stopping in, lmk if I can answer any questions

I thought this was gonna be a manlier version of Socrates.

Obā-san · 2012-09-05 22:53:25

That's not what I was expecting.

Well I thought it was advertise-y, but what do I know, I suppose.

I'm sure an administrator will step in if it needs addressing. As a word of advice, you guys would benefit from some ads reminiscent of the PowerThirst videos. Just saying.

Obā-san · 2012-09-05 23:04:50

Feedback: Cool idea, neat aesthetics, not in my price range.

ManCrates · 2012-09-05 23:55:36

@Super - First time here, so treading lightly. regarding powerthirst - SO MUCH YES.

@Truant - thanks for the initial posting and the civil feedback

Obā-san · 2012-09-06 00:16:34

I always liked Vytautas Mineral Water more, even though it's a total ripoff of Powerthirst they definitely topped the original

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-09-06 01:18:05

^ Wow, it is like Powerthirst but better. I like.

@ManCrates: As Mr. Truant said, nice stuff, but out of my price range.

What sort of bourbon is in the whiskey kit?

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-09-06 06:36:42

That outdoor survival kit would have been the most baller thing to have during recruit and combat training. Especially during combat training.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-09-06 06:39:21

The only thing I'd change about that outdoor survival kit is to replace the gatorade bottle with powder. Not only will that will give you more room to pack other things in there, people are already going to have water with them outdoors.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-09-06 06:40:56

And stick a copy of Gran Torino in there. Manliest movie of all time

Yarrun XIX · 2012-09-06 08:52:25

@ManCrates: As far as I can tell, you seem to be doing well for your first year. I really like the fact that you're willing to personalize a crate.

Vriska · 2012-09-06 08:59:37

I thought it was going to 8e a cr8 with a man actually shipped in it.

And then they come out with GIRLCR8S and 8A8YCR8S and this is where I stop playing thank you good night.

Justice4243 · 2012-09-29 03:01:36

I am saddened that Whiskey question was never answered and that ManCrates didn't become a regular fixture here.

He could have been Corporal Forsythe jr!

@ManCrates

My advice is to make the website as tongue-in-cheek as humanly possible.

Justice4243 · 2012-09-29 14:06:59

And maybe throw in a few more of the cheap snack foods to bulk up what people are getting so "overpriced" isn't one of the first things that comes to mind when people look at the packages.

Justice4243 · 2012-09-29 14:15:38

On that note, the "Performance Sports Crate" actually looks a bit more like a good deal, partially because you have lots of stuff, and also because there's a few items that are a little harder to price off the top of one's head.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-09-29 14:21:58

I think the mancrate guy figured out that HH isn't exactly his target demographic

Justice4243 · 2012-09-29 14:23:19

BUT WE ARE SHIT TONS OF MANLY!

My fingers get all kinds of working out typing here and at work...

I guess I have the binge drinking part down, at least...

Imipolex G · 2012-09-29 14:42:13

*decorates the Heap all frilly-like*

Death · 2012-09-29 16:42:52

These crates will be no problem for the Reaper.

Vriska · 2012-09-29 18:20:57

8ut then he'll try and sell us YOURMOMCR8S.
