honest opinions only please

i keep seeing the ad's for this, and it always looks more appealing. especially cause my blender is broken

the magic bullet (http://www.buythebullet.com/)

[i'mcrafty]

ooo buy one get one free!!! can i have your free one? hahaha

i have never seen that advertised, but chopping onions and then making a yummy drink? don't you think everything would end up tasting like the other?

go for it i guess...wait how much is it?

[Whois]

You always need a blender, how else you gonna make Mai Tais and other blended drinks?

This things too small for parties...

[jabumbo]

it ends up being $140 total, after you add shipping costs...

i thought it might be cool because tou get 2. and maybe i could sell the other one or something...

and it comes with some bigger comtainers for largers amounts of stuff, but i wouldnt be making THAT many people drinks, yeah?

[i'mcrafty]

noooooo to much to pay for a blender. is that all you are gonna use it for is drinks??? if so then just get one of those smootie makers they are really cheap and work good for drinks!!! :)

[jabumbo]

well if i got 2, i could try and sell it on ebay or something, make some money back...

i would assume to use it as a blender for drinks and such, and probably to chop shit up too. i HATE cutting onions, or dicing anything for that matter.

i can slice, but cant dice

[i'mcrafty]

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all your drinks will taste like onions!!!!!

it works great for chopping food i use it alot, good for making soups when you have alot to chop!

there are also cheaper versions of that chopper at like target and stuff... don't get the magic bullet, all your drinks will taste like onions...i'm telling you!

[jabumbo]

why would they taste like onions? i would clean it out after i used it...

and i wouldnt use the same container to make drinks as i did to chop the onions

$70.00 is too much for a POS that will break in a few months.

p.s. $40.00 for s&h? SCAM!

i didn't know there was more containers, onion smell sticks and stays to everything!
but still that's still alot of money!

you already ordered it didn't you? haha you keep defending it!

[jabumbo]

no, i havent ordered anything yet.

i went to ebay, to see if anyone is selling them on there. and they have them for a little cheaper. still most have pricy shipping, so it ends up being just as much. i found one that looks real cheap though, from a new ebayer. ima keep an eye on it. it might be worth a shot it its cheap.

im not trying to defend it, im just trying to see why it would be bad for such and such reaosns. gotta get a thourogh answere youknow?


and not that i dont like you 2 people here, but wont someone else give me an opnion?

[cosmo105]

i don't know, man. those things are usually cheaply made.

[Tompz]

Where's your judgement boy?

Those plastic things look like an extremely poor quality-item that will break in no time. Besides they're small expensive and ugly as hell. Get like a normal brown/philips blender, i can guarantee those are waaay better than the fucking bulllet.

I assume you already got the foreman-grill and the ab-slide yes?

[jabumbo]

haha...yeah. well the quality was what i was wondering about with this thing. i mean, it seems like it could be neat while it lasted, but thats about it.

ab slide? hardly...we do have a foreman grill in the house, but its not mine, and i only use it to make my homemade hamburgers, because...i dont know why exactly....i always just panfry my other meats....

[Whois]

....i always just panfry my other meats....

Ow...just ow.

[ScarySquirrel]

I'd forget about it, man. Usually if it's on an infomercial, it's not worth your time. Just buy a decent blender and there's plenty of other contraptions out there to slice and dice onions.

[HEIRESS]

I heard they were pretty cool

they sell at random department stores here and on the shopping channel for only 99 bucks Canadian, which is pretty good

I actually want one but I just got a brand new regular blender for x-mas

K I am so obsessed with this, I have one in my foods class and I use it every chance I have! (y)

[ms.peachy]

For heaven's sake boy, you are in America - go buy your appliance at Sears, it is what God put them on Earth for. Kenmore products kick ass and they have the best warrantee and service.

[the been]

i have to admit, that infomercial sucks me in every time. the bad acting just kills me.

i dont know, man. it might work ok but i think you're paying waaaaaaaaaay too much for it.

this might be helpful (http://www.epinions.com/Magic_Bullet_High_Speed_Blender_Mixer_System/display_~reviews)

[cosmo105]

seriously, if they have to have an infomercial to sell it, you don't need it.

[adrockmelanie]

whenever i see something like this, i think of that one skit from all that, that josh server was in.. he was running around, all excited and hyper and eager to present to you.... THE BOARD!!!!! i remember laughing when he was like "forget your treadmill! forget your [something else]! forget that thing i was trying to sell you last week!!.."

yeah.

[jabumbo]

if i were to buy a blender, what are some features i should look for?

i could probably take mine from home, but its really old and sucks. my mom uses it like once a month at best, probably not even that...
