The Smoothie Machine

During Joey’s 4th birthday, she received a smoothie cum ice-cream making machine as a present. We finally brought it out to try the other day. I was curious to see if a toy like that could really work.

Took out the toy, assembled it and washed it clean.

My plan was to make dragonfruit smoothie and ice-cream, so I went along and bought 2 lovely dragonfruits!

So pretty that it’s almost unreal..

Joey was excited to try it!

Dragonfruit is one of her favorite fruits!

After cutting the dragonfruit into cubes, Joey helped to scoop them into the blender.

Added ice cubes into the blender so that the smoothie will turn out to the cold and nice..

The next logical step would be to start the blender, right?

Get ready for an anti-climax. 

  THE BLENDER MOTOR WAS SPOILT. 

Great. Wonderful. How nice. Tremendous. Fantastic. Fabulous!

There was absolutely no way I could test whether this toy was a real ice-cream maker or not because it.wont.even.start. IT.WONT.START!!!!! And it’s brand new, for goodness’ sake! Even the batteries were brand new, hello??!

Needless to say, we were both very disappointed and had to go for ice-cream outside just to make ourselves feel better. Boohoooooooooooooooooo!!!
