We’re not selling this deal anymore, but you can buy it at Amazon

FUL Flex Mini Hybrid Rolling 21" Carry-On Duffel

  • “1680 Denier ballistic nylon” sounds a little scary but is really just lightweight and durable.
  • Hardshell bottom means more protection for all your crushables.
  • You have split level storage, with a pass through panel, so you can bisect your bag into 2 smaller compartments or go “open concept” like a real trend-setter.
  • Dimensions: 21" x 11.5" x 12".
  • Like Kid Bizkit, this bag is capable of “rollin’.”
  • Model: ABFL5078 (Not to be confused with the failed sports association of the 1980s, The American Baske-Football League).

Bag Envy

Here’s one problem with working at Meh: since we only sell one item each day, we actually need to think things through. No, I know, considering some of the stuff we’ve offered here, you might find this hard to believe. But it’s true. We have to do our research, because there’s nowhere to hide.

Okay, so far, you’re probably not very sympathetic. We actually have to put thought into what we sell? Woe is us, huh? But really, the issue is sometimes we get so wrapped up in considering a product from multiple angles that, by the time we’re done, we want to buy it ourselves. Even if we don’t need it.

And that’s where I’m at with this FUL bag: I don’t need a new bag. My current carry-on bag works just fine. It’s got wheels, and it can hold some pants. All good. But then I go to write about this FUL, and I see a note that reads simply, “The best carry-on.”

It’s probably just hyperbole, right? But a lot of the reviews on Amazon seem to hit this exact note.

“This sturdy duffle is perfect for a sports outing or long weekend. It holds just enough, zippers hang tough, fits through airport scanning belt just fine and never an issue to pop into overhead bins on any flights, even the teeny prop planes,” writes one reviewer.

And I think, my bag doesn’t always fit into the overhead bins.

“It is the perfect carry-on! The hardshell bottom is great for storing gifts, electronics, and anything else you do not want to get crushed while the top half gives you room to grow,” writes another.

And I think, my bag doesn’t have a hardshell bottom.

“LOVE THIS BAG. IT IS REALLY NICE ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR CLOTHES SEPARATED FROM OTHER TYPES OF THINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I GO TO HAWAII I PUT ALL MY SNORKEL GEAR, SUN BLOCK, BATHING SUITS, WATER SHOES IN THE BOTTOM AND THEN I PACK MY REGULAR CLOTHES IN THE TOP PORTION,” someone else says.

And I think, I never take my bag snorkeling in Hawaii.

Yet, no matter how many times my own bag is bested by the FUL, the point stands: I have a bag for traveling, and thus do not need a bag for traveling. This is simply not what I should be spending my money on.

And THIS is where everything really comes apart. Because that’s the whole point of Meh, to sell stuff for cheap enough that even if you don’t need it, you’re kinda like, “Eh, it’s not like I’m going broke if I buy this.”

In conclusion: I might buy this bag, and you might too.
