USVI-On-Line

Has anyone seen or used these things yet? I received a set of 4 as a holiday gift and admit I was kind of disinterested but decided to finally try them out. Found that they make a heck of a smoothie without any power. Hmmmmmmmm - it's not much of a stretch from a smoothie to a blended drink and it would be great to make a blended drink on the beach without a real blender and drink it in the cup it was made. YES!! OK, I'm packing these for sure - the ice is a bit tricky unless you have pre-crushed - I didn't, so added it after the blend - I think I can tough that out - These are definitely coming along to the beaches that do not have refreshment stands. They might also have value for folks that are camping.

Mine are the 28 oz size and were purchased as a set of 4 through HSN.

Very fun! Looks like a good boating accessory...

Can you clean them in the dishwasher?

How cool is that? I may just order one or two for our sailing trip

I had something like that when I was a kid. It was in the shape of Bozo the Clown and put out by Bosco, if anyone remembers them. We made chocolate milkshakes with them with the Bosco syrup and milk. But agin I date myself

Chicagoans, Yes, says dishwasher safe on the website.

My favorite feature... "The flip cap stays where you put it so it won't close on your nose!" Who among us can't sympathize with that?! Besides, who needs {insert drink name} schmutz on their nose at the beach?

WOW, I thought I was the only "veteran" who could remember growing up in a simpler time. Then again, I had a crewcut with some kind of wax on it to make it stand up. I remember the smell of that wax akk too well. A least the barber gave out bubble gum.

I loved Bosco! It was a staple at my aunt's house but my mother insisted on being a Nestle Quik family!

We were a Bosco family. My mother made me Bosco eggnogs every morning!

No, but I have used these. They are disposable. They are pretty cool and you can toss them once you're too drunk to wash anything.

YES - I have had those! They seem to have a lot of alcohol (not a bad thing) but, unfortunately, we can't find them around here any longer.
