All I wanted to was to make a smoothie. But instead of a quick, easy procedure, I find myself spending 10 minutes to make one. Because the not-so-magic bullet won't blend all of the ingredients together, I add them one at a time. Of course, I have to open the chamber to add another ingredient, which means the liquid drips all over the inside and outside. But, if I do this, maybe I'll get a finished product.
