Robey recently got this blender, which is festooned with wild and self-aggrandizing claims about its ability to crush ice to make mixed drinks. No non-ice-crushing-related use for the blender is mentioned anywhere on the packaging. My favorite is how it calls your attention to its "Revolutionary Ice Crushing Blade". But it's actually just the same blade the all blenders have had for years. I can only imagine that by this slogan they literally mean "the ice crushing blade revolves, and is therefore revolutionary." |
