I can't think of anything else I'd want out of a cooler to do for me. ;)

Naturally it wasn't intended for my demographic, and I thought the idea of a blender on a cooler was just plain dumb.
Well I still think it's just plain dumb, however this guy has managed to introduce a product to a niche market and it has exceeded his expectations. Good for him.

I still wouldn't buy one, but my neighbor might...

Post by: endurance on July 14, 2014, 10:07:28 AM: For me, it's so much better than having all the traffic in and out of the house during patio parties for those blending margs. I could totally see myself using this thing to death.
