enflyt 0 #1 September 6, 2007 Ya know those As Seen on TV infomercials? Well.. late one night, that magic bullet seemed kinda cool (the blender, not the vibrator) anyhow.. i always thought about ordering it... and on a major home furnishing spree a few weeks ago, I went ahead and did just that. but it sucks. They make it look so easy with their "presto" and "1, 2, 3, you're done!" not quite. the food gets stuck in the base, it doesnt chop ice, and its taken me a million years to do little jobs. grrr. think i'll send it back-but i'll still be out the 20bucks they ridiculously charge for shipping oh well. teach me.

Buying crap using reviews from many places = not so bad idea. This ends your public service annoucement.

Gene03 0 #7 September 6, 2007 Do like they do on the infomercials... plug it into 220 and it will run like hell for 30 seconds or so.“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

Slowfaller 0 #8 September 6, 2007 My inlaws gave us one of those and you're right, it does suck. I tried making nacho cheese and it ended up being a huge mess. Crap.

Slowfaller 0 #10 September 6, 2007 it was an included recipe and I tried it at work. Chop up cheese and a jalapeno and melt it in the handy blender cup. The cheese bubbled up through the little steam holes on the lid and made a mess. Normally a jar from the store is good enough for me --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get yo-self a good microwave safe bowl. Get a block of Velveeta and other cheese desired. Chop the cheese to 1/4 in blocks, add an 8oz can of Ro-tel tomato and green chilies (spiced to tasted). Use fresh cilantro, lime juice, and ground cumin to taste. Microwave in 20-30 second bursts and stir frequently. Cheap and no "special" tools.

Slowfaller 0 #12 September 6, 2007 But the commercial said it'd be soooo easy! Your dip sounds good though, maybe add some Dave's Insanity Sauce for some heat. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add jalapenos, seranos, and/or habaneros as needed for 'heat'.

hjumper33 0 #15 September 6, 2007 That is still one of my favorite infomercials of all time. They make breakfast for all their random guests, including some 60 year old chain smoking lady. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
