you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

the best smoothies are made from ice cream and milk hth

The build quality has dropped in the last few years - use them in pro kitchens for ages, last two have died within a year. At least the warranty is okay.

That is my contribution to the Vitamix thread thanks and godbless

Get a blender and ice crusher from the thriftstore for less than ten bucks. Crush the ice up, add booze and margarita or daiquiri mix and blend away for pro-level smoothness.
It's blended splendidly!

I got a ninja for my birthday last year. I don't use it too often but it makes decent smoothies and is very convenient for recipes where you need to cut in chilled butter like biscuits or pie crust.

Yeah I dunno where you guys are getting your thrift store blenders but every cheap blender I've had sucked and couldn't blend simple things like ice cubes or frozen fruit, they weren't bad for softer poo poo but it was like night and day when my grandma got me a ninja.

What about blendtec? I would like to make a smoothie out of trees and potentially chicken bones

this is the best budget pick. the other guy is right though, most <$80 blenders do loving suck and blenders are one of the few devices where you don't want a suckers deal on because a really good one and el cheapo are like night and day.

e: this would be one of the better picks if you wanted to spend $200 on one that performs just as well or better than $500 vitamixers

Child's play. Try dropping $2,000 on a thermomix like a friend of mine did and then coming to the conclusion that it is buyer's remorse made flesh after your tenth meal in a row involving a stew that could have been prepared with just a few extra minutes prep time in a $30 Sunbeam slow cooker. ('Cause you gotta justify buying it).

Same. Got a vitamix as one of my prizes at presidents club last year. Also makes awesome whole fruit margaritas that help me get drunk quickly. Bad blenders are for poors and you have one you should feel bad about yourself

Vitamix is the Cutco Knives of blenders. It's not bad but for that price you're being ripped off, you could get a Blendtec for the same amount of cash or buy a cheaper blender that offers the same performance. for a fraction of the price.
Their entire market is people with enough money to buy a $500 blender but are too stupid and lazy to do more than grab the most expensive blender off of the shelf at Target and call it a day.
