Mix it up a little, wouldja?












You know how when you make yourself a glass of chocolate milk, or any other beverage involving powder or syrup, it tastes pretty much the same until it’s almost gone? Then the flavor expands with a robust strength, as the chunks that’ve congealed rather than blending in make their appearance. In today’s fast-paced world, who’s got time and energy for the crazy amount of stirring it would take to fully mix the ingredients into a cohesive blend? Not you!

But, hey, I’m not saying those chunks are a bad thing. Many find them to be the highlight of their drinking experience, those semi-crunchy, extra-sugary tidbits, lovely little solid-liquid morsels.

Often ignored: a not-insignificant portion of the population who tend to abandon their beverages so early in the game that they’re not even aware of this tasty phenomenon. These people miss a lot in life, so try to pity them rather than chiding them whenever possible.

And then there are the few, the proud—those who prefer their beverages fully blended. For those discriminating souls, there’s the Moo Mixer. Add your liquid and your flavoring agent, press the button, and within seconds you’ve got a frothy concoction guaranteed not to separate for a full 20 minutes. You’re thinking, “It’s just a blender without a lid,” aren’t you? That’s because you didn’t notice the lack of a cord. It’s just like a battery-operated blender without a lid—now you’ve got the picture! (Product also available in the supreme model, lid included and cup size increased.)
