I know we've been talking about it on the pumpkin thingy thread, but have y'all been knowing about this all this time and not said a word to me?? ok, maybe it was mentioned here and there, off and on, etc, but geez!!! send a flare when it's this good! Five words:
8 second chocolate whipped cream. DELISH!

I should get a commission.

I'm cracking up here Heather....I have been saying how good the thing is in several places including my journal and several other places that i can't remember right now. I even said at one point that the bullett people should pay me a commission because I was their best salesperson...As I said in one of my posts somewhere...i paid over $100.00 for mine (because that's what they cost back then) and I was embarrassed at the time to tell anyone that we bought this thing off of a late night infomercial! Then I realized how useful it is! i honestly use it several times evry single day. I need to buy a spare in case this one ever gives out!

LOL! I got one for Christmas and love it so far. The only complaint I have is that the top of the "bullet" should be a little flat so it can rest up-side-down while you pour stuff into it. Right now, I place it in a cup to hold it steady. I made scrambled eggs this am and whipped them up in the Bullet. Incredibly fluffy scrambled eggs! Haven't tried it yet for the various muffin thingys we do, but I am sure it will be fantastic!

Hmmmmm Alida...mine sits on the counter just fine. I wonder if they've changed the design? It looks rounded on the end but the "ribs" on the cup make it flat, sort of. Oh well, I hope you enjoy it

We use the heck out of ours. Scrambled eggs are awesome. We add grated cheddar cheese in the bullet too for a really fluffy almost omelet. I still haven't found anything that can make thicker protein shakes. It is a snap for Vickies pumpkin thingys. I've already destroyed one of the silicone washers though. DW then "instructed" me on the proper use of the blade units so the washers survive. Whoops!

Vickie, Hmmmm back at you! Maybe you are right. I just assumed because the top was round it wouldn't "sit." I'll try it later today . . . .

I got one for Christmas too and used it to make dh a smoothy drink. I couldn't believe how fast it cut down the frozen fruits. And...none of them got stuck in the blades like they do with regular blenders.

I will see my goal weight again!

I gave my sister a Magic Bullet for Xmas, along with instructions on how to make "Instant" soft serve ice cream: fill the cannister about 1/2 full of frozen berries (I use TJ's frozen mixed berries). Add enough cream or half-n-half to not-quite-cover the berries (it's soupy if you add too much cream). Then add whatever sweetener you favor. Blend with the long blades until the ice cream sticks to the sides. If the ice cream is too lumpy, add a bit more cream, scrape the sides with a little spatula and blend further. Presto! all natural ice cream.

I use the MB most often for grinding flaxseeds into meal, and I've used it to grind almonds into meal, too. Have to be more careful with the almonds, as overblending results in almond butter instead of flour.

I did not like the MB for making salsa. Even following the exact directions from the included recipe book gave a mushy, slushy salsa - not at all to my taste.

I just saw this thing on TV. WOW! Amazing....but I'm not gonna spring for $99.95 (or 3 payments of $33...) Where could I get one cheaper? Our Walgreen's ususally has a "As Seen On TV" section, but I didn't see the bullet there.

I bought one a while back - when I was going to Curves. It made the powder protein shakes just wonderful!!! maybe I'll break it out again.

I've seen them all over the place in stores - can't remember which ones right now. I think CVS had them. you could always check out ebay.

Maxi, just Google "Magic Bullet." You will end up with several sites that sell it. But read carefully. Not all offers include the "whole package." I got the whole enchilada for Christmas and I love it . . . two sizes of bullet, the blender size, several drink cups with lids, 2 different blades, etc. (Vickie, yeah! It does sit!) And Teel, thanks for the ice cream recipe. That will have to wait until after Re-Induction!

Ordered mine yesterday off e-bay. I'm holding my breath about "all the stuff" Alida. The ad said that it was "all the stuff." I got a deal.
