Gonna make blatant product endorsement. Turn away now, it could get ugly.
I love my Magic Bullet. Everyone should have one. I feel like that guy hawking the “Slap-Chop” whatever on late night tv.
But I do really love my Magic Bullet, and you should get one too (or something like it).
I’d been thinking of getting one for a while but never really bit – because my wife would think I was wasting money. Anyway, it costed about 70 bucks at Kmart and that just seemed a little much, even when on sale.
Now, at Costco, a different version when for 50 bucks. The standard set has 4 or 5 16oz party mugs plus the regular stuff. The Costco version had 3 16oz mugs plus 2 22oz mugs plus a small pitcher/blender. That seemed really doable. But again, I’m terrible at actually buying things. I just look a lot.
Til last Black Friday, that is…
Costco was running like 15 bucks off their 50 for that day. I ran down and got for around 35 bucks – A STEAL!!!
What a great little blender.
- Small footprint.
- Powerful motor.
- Easy to use
The 22oz mug is perfect. A little juice, one 5z Yoplait, a whole banana, a fresh pineapple chunks (this is hawaii afterall),a handful of frozen fruit (an 9lb bag of frozen fruit is about 8 bucks at costco) and viola – a few seconds – a great fruit drink.
With my kids, I use the small pitcher and add scoop of orange serbet to it.
The 3 year old loves pushing down on the mug or pitcher to blend the fruit.
The fact that it has a spring loaded mechanism makes it safer. My kids push down on it and it turns on. They stop pushing down on it and it turns off – nice.
Anyways, if you don’t have a blender or if you have a big, clunky one, the Magic Bullet would be a nice alternative.
Evidently, you can do a lot of other stuff with it…
But for me and kids, it just fun to make fruit drinks and smoothies…
So, how was my first product pitch?
