FAQs

the Blenderphone:



Q: WHY?





It's just another combinational appliance, like a clock-radio, except the blenderphone gets more attention.

Consider this:


  • It's their fault for getting married, not yours.
  • You don't want them to settle into their little picket-fence home, squirt out some kids, and forget you.
  • It may be the most memorable gift at the reception.

    Bill Jenkins, Head Brewer at Big Time Brewery in Seattle, went to a wedding in Boulder Colorado. Here's what he said:
    "....it was a hit.....the groom was calling it all night from his cell-phone....they just couldn't believe it! It was the only gift they carried home with them."

    Q: Can I prepare a Margarita, then have my friends call?





    Yes. Of course. You can do it naked, for all I care.


    Q: Won't you spill your margarita when you "answer" the phone?




    That has always been a problem and it always will be.    		 BlenderphoneCharlene is bewildered by her new appliance.


    Q: Can I call it from my cell-phone in my car?




    Certainly.

    The most fun is to call it from the other room just after you hear your guests saying ".......WHAT....the......****....?"


    Q: Is it dangerous?




    Yes, for people who stick their hands in blenders.

    I have no way of knowing what your friends' little quirks are, but they must be weird if you want to buy a blenderphone for them. That's for you to decide.

    The Blenderphone is supplied with the main drive unscrewed (removed). You can choose to screw it on for a full-function blender or leave it off for liability hypersensitivity, like Microsoft did. The motor still spins as the 'ringer' either way. It takes about 3 seconds to make it a functional blender.


    Q: Isn't $300 for a blender and telephone an absurd price?




    If you're asking this question, I'm certain that you will prefer your blender and telephone to be separate items. You may want to check [Sears Roebuck]. This will give you the option to connect them together yourself on a free saturday......


    Q: How can I get one?




    The price is $300 firm. Blenderphones are usually made-to-order, but are sometimes in-stock. Call (206) 323-2349.
    Only one color, one style available and it's white. A deposit may be required.

    Function, quality of workmanship and factory finish is guaranteed. Visa/MC/AMEX accepted, or send a money order. If you have any questions, give a call, but serious inquiries only, please.
