The Perfect Partner
I recently made a new friend and she was lonely so I made her a partner.
I’ve been graced by the presence of the Blendtec and my life has been changed forever! I’ve had blenders in my life but nothing compares to Betty (yes I named her, that’s how special she is to me). She’s beautiful, graceful, easy to use and clean. With the push of a (flat) button she knows exactly how to blend up my smoothie, make fresh juice, soup, ice cream…. you name it! There’s no need to guess about what level I should be at or pushing the blender ingredients down to make sure it all gets down to the blades. As I mentioned all the buttons are flat and light up when in use so wiping down this appliance (that is sure to get splattered with food) is SO easy! It makes me happy that I can keep her pretty.
Then I decided Betty needed a partner, enter the Blender Smoothie Straw. I made this straw specifically so that anyone could drink their juice or smoothie straight from the blender container, saving yet another glass to clean. It is just like our See-Thru Smoothie Straw but longer at 12″ long. And it’s on sale through 7/25/2012!
I have 4 prototypes of the Blender Smoothie Straw to giveaway to 4 lucky readers! There is nothing wrong with these straws they just aren’t the final product so they may be a little longer (13″) or barely bent and are still quite useful.
Leave a comment below and tell me what you named your blender 🙂 Or just say something nice. We’ll choose 4 winners on Monday, 7/23/2012.
I’m going to go have some fun with Betty (and maybe get some therapy and real human friends).
Cheers~ Daedra
Looking for a good quality blender?
I would name my blender Chewie. Hehehe.
My blender is named Bette because she’s red hot and reminds me of the Divine Miss M. 🙂
We love our Blendtec! She is the nameless love of our lives. 😀
Our blender has no name yet… But we did just get him 🙂 he makes a munching sound when he eas something hard! I would certainly love to try your straws. They are beautiful 🙂
This would have been especially handy in college when we frequently made blenders of strawberry margaritas. I never even thought of naming my blender, although I have never had one as nice as that one. 🙂
I call my one of my blenders Dusty (seldom used) and the other is Noah, because I know its here somewhere.
Hmmmm… Never named my Vitamix. I’m feeling a bit guilty 😉 I guess I would call it the Smoothinator!
We call our blender “Lovey” because that is what she blends up for us in each smoothie we enjoy…lots and lots of LoVE in a glass!
…enjoying it thru one of your blender straws would make our world complete! 🙂
Never named a blender but considering how often I use ours, I probably should give the poor thing a name!
My blender’s name is Hamilton ,as in Hamilton Beach .He keeps me healthy by making me smoothies and juice’s . 😀
My blender;s name is Hamilton ,as in Hamilton Beach. He helps keep me healthy by making me smoothies and jucie’s . 😀
I haven’t named my Vitamix, so hmmmm, maybe va-va-va-‘vroom’? LOL I think a blender straw is a brilliant idea. I’m all about cutting down on dishes to wash 🙂 I usually use my pink strawsome straws for smoothies, but would love to add a blender straw to the family 🙂
No name but deliciousness comes out of it! 🙂
Great idea!!!
I don’t have a Blendtec yet, but I am getting one in August when they come to my Costco. Having a smoothie straw to go with her (I don’t know her name yet but anyone that works as hard as that blender has got to be a woman) would be perfect.
Love Blendtec and smoothies, it’s the way to healthier living. Oh and exercise too. Great product!
This is awsome… strawsome I mean, I haven’t named my blender but this is a great idea. I love my glass straws… I give my family the evil eye if they forget to bring theirs when out and about.
I love to try the new straw 🙂 im sure is awesome like everything from your company! Thank you and have wonderful day 🙂
I never named my Blendtec, but it makes me happy every time I see it on the counter knowing that I will be making something healthy to drink in it.
I haven’t named mine yet (I’ve only had it a week). But it’s gotta be a ‘he’ because it’ll be nice to have a powerful guy working in the kitchen! 🙂
Love to try the newbie 🙂
My 3 year old says buh-LEN-der. That evolved into Belinda. So now, Belinda makes her morning “shake”
I never name objects in my house but I love love love my Blendtec Blender!!!
I haven’t named my blender but I do love it and would LOVE a straw to drink from it and to slurp up the leftover stuff on the bottom whwnever I use it! 😉
We called ours V Marg as we make virgin margaritas often.
What a good idea! This would make my daily green smoothie even better.
I haven’t named my Blendtec, but I use it basically every day. My favorite day was when my husband and I made snow out of ice cubes and built a mini snowman.
My Blendtec doesn’t have a name but she know I love her!!! If there is ever a fire at home the cat better follow me out because I am grabbing the blender!
I now feel that I must find a name for my Blendtec. Mine is an older one that has been blending wonderfully for many years. I love the straw idea!
I love BlendTec and I’m just don’t have the money to buy one cause i study 🙁 please, give me a blender 🙂 By the way – I would call my Blender Chuck, cause it’s like Chuck Norris 😉
Straws? What a great idea! I think I’ll call my blender Chopper. 😉 Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I’ve had my Blendtec for four and half years, but I’ve never named it! Something strong, faithful sure. Some sort of cowboy name, I think, like Rex should serve. Rex, the king of blenders and riding the range. 🙂
My Blendtec’s name is Joemoloe. He is indeed my health partner.
I’ve named my blend tech blender “Rocksy” since she can blend my frozen food that Is as hard as rocks;)
blender straw… brilliant!
I call mine the life saver cause it has helped me find new heathly ways to support my immune system thru chemo and the 10 surgeries I have had over the past 2 years since my cancer diagnosis
Hmmm…I think I’ll call mine BeBe, short for Busy Bee, ’cause I use her a LOT! I’ve had her for less than three months and made my 301st creation a few hours ago. 🙂
My blender is named Joe because I like to make frozen coffee drinks in it and, my favorite, frozen green tea!
Viva, the vitamix! I live for it! I would love for her to have a nice friend!
Our beautiful BlendTec is so powerful yet stylish we call her…”50 Shades of Smoothie!”
We have not named our Blendtec. How could we be so thoughtless? Afterall, she does make the most fantastic smoothie every morning for us. The tortilla soup is amazing and the things she does to pesto is out of this world. We must get on this naming immediately!
I am DYING to win the Blendtec blender on the Against All Grain site. If/WHEN I win her, I will call her “Joy” as in “jumping for”. 🙂
Mine’s named Tractor, because when I’m blending my morning juice, the whole kitchen counter is shaking.
My Blendtec. Is also red and wonderful.. a name? How about her name should be Marilyn since she is sleek, classy, and amazing.
LOVE this idea! No need to find the perfect size cups I can just drink straight from the blendtec! I haven’t named mine yet. Maybe I should? Probably call him Awesome 🙂
I haven’t named my Blendtec but I do feel so passionate about it that I need to do some thinking about what to name her. See I’ve already decided it’s a her. I made guacamole this weekend with some “not quite ripe” avocados and it came out perfect.
I often refer to my blendtec as “Speedy”
Brilliant!! My little “Wendy” would LOVE a partner and I would love it too!! My feelings match yours perfectly when it comes toy Blendtec- a true love affair! Life-changing and she makes me SO happy!!
I haven’t named my blender, but I think she should be named Goldie… I’ve made so many smoothies and hot drinks with turmeric that she has a golden hue 🙂
You know my love for your straws!! I stash them at home, work, in my purse, in my car, just so I have one everywhere I go, no waste 🙂 I’ll most definitely bring them on my trip to Maui this fall too. I would LOVE to have one of these lovelies… having missed out on ordering one on my latest order!
Can’t say I have named my blender either, but I find myself drinking out of mine often before it is completely finished. 🙂
Our son and daughter-in-law got us started on Smoothies.
They would love these straws you are designing!
Lucky Lady! I have wanted a Blentec for years! I have not named my blender, but I have named other things in my home (example: I have 3 pots I call Peter, Paul and Mary, lol). You have inspired me, so I think I will name my Ninja after you~Deadra. I really like that name 🙂
We call our Blendtec “Baby” because when we pour something scrumptious out of her and take a big sip we say, “Oh, Baby, that’s GOOD!”.
I named my Blendtec, Aloysius, because it’s fun to say and fun to use!
I never named my blendtec but this such an awesome idea that even if I don’t win I’m gonna buy this anyway!
Love our Blendtec! Got it last year and the whole family uses it. It’s helped us to lose weight and be MUCH healthier. Thanks for an outstanding product!
I call my blendtec the healthinator
Love my Blendie!!!
I have not named my Blendtec, but I think your idea is totally Strawsome!
I love your idea! I’ve been reduced to taking extra straws when I buy a smoothie, because store-bought straws are TOO SHORT!
We named ours The Beast because it is so powerful 🙂 I just used a straw for the first time today in my blender container and loved the idea but didn’t like how short it was. What a great idea! I think this is fate and I am meant to win this straw!
I call my Blendtec Blender ” Jospehine”, just because I like that name 🙂
We call our Blendtec “Sir Mix-a-Lot”, for pretty obvious reasons. And he does, indeed, love big beets – I cannot lie. He also likes big berries, big ice cubes, big avocados. The dude just can’t get enough! He’s got the same smoothness of his namesake, too. Besides, it’s just fun for me and my wife to say, “I like big ______s, and I cannot lie!” whenever we start to blend. 🙂
We have not named our Blentec but we love it! We use it every day and we pour my portion into a glass, and then my husband likes his portion right out of the container, so this would be a handy addition. 🙂
I call him “The Beast” for short, but his real name is Stormbringer, Slayer of Spinach and Dark Lord of the Flurry of Fury.
Why did I never think to name my Blendtec? Our standing mixer has a name – The Hog. Hmmm…will have to think of a name for the blender next.
Never thought to name my blender but it’s a brilliant idea! I use my Blendtec every day, usually in the morning for green smoothies, I never imagined a straw, what a fun idea! I’m sure my husband and I will enjoy drinking smoothies from a giant straw. Now for a name, perhaps Stella because she’s stellar and has changed our lives and the way we eat. Cool idea, Daedra.
Ours is named “Bobinator” We love it and have had it for over 13 years now.
I just received my Blendtec blender and I’ve already started calling her Lucy!
Love, love, love my blendtec but never thought of naming it. I guess i have to think about that one. 😛
Use it everyday to make smoothies. It’s also great for pancakes and sooo much more. Sounds like a good idea to just drink it right from the jar!!!
The frozen strawberries, bananas and apple juice come out every day, as does the smoothie blender who, sadly, has not been named. Luckily it can go in the dishwasher but there are the glasses I use to drink the smoothie that take up dishwasher space. To drink from a straw directly into the blender would be oh so divine!! What a great invention. Keep them coming, please.
My 2 daughters in law have one and i get so jealous that I don’t have one. I keep wishing!!
Wish oh wish
My blender is Miss Betsie ~ I constantly make bets with her on what she can blend, chop, grind, puree, smoothie & liquify. So far our gamescore is: Infinity+ (Miss Betsie) to Zero (Me) ~ She hasn’t failed her mission yet! 🙂
“Sir Mix-A-Lot”
What can I say Old Skool hip-hop fan. Blendtec blender rocks!
The Blendinator… it will crush (blend) you into fine little particles of delicousness! Like the idea… my little one (straw crazy) will too!
I call my blender the Masticator. While trying to eat a plant based diet, I am able to to get all the fiber and nutrition in a smoothie without having to chew.
It never occurred to me to name my blender, but I’d love one of these straws!
My blendtec is the green transfusion and i need a straw to upload
Mine blendtec is named Gretta after my childhood garbage disposal. We could send anything down Gretta and it would pulverize. I can stick anything in my blendtec and it blends better than any blender I have ever owned.
I named my blendtec. My green machine or green it helps me get all my greens and i love the color the blendtec creates when you mix in a lot of greens you get this light green color i love it
My Blendtec is the best blender on the market. I even purchased one for my parents and convinced others to purchase a Blendtec. I will continue to do so, because the Blendtec is an amazing machine that I make ALL of my healthy smoothies, soups and other foods with. There is no other blender that compares to the Blendtec.
This post made me realize, I don’t have a name for my Blendtec! Blasphemy! Names are being decided upon now 🙂 Thanks for making a Blendtec strawesome. I’ve been putting my strawesome in the Blendtec twister jar. It fits pretty well in there!
I had not thought to name my Blendtec. We just call it “The Blendtec.” But we use it every day. It is the one thing I regretted not taking with us when we evacuated in front of the Waldo Canyon Fire a couple of weeks ago.
My aunt just bought a BlendTec and loves it. I think this straw would make a great gift for her! Thanks for the chance to win!
Haha! I don’t have a blender to name yet, but when I do get one, I shall name it “Trogdor, the Blendinator” … (Lol.. look up Trogdor on Youtube!)
This is a good idea, I can see my husband using one of these straws!
I would name my blender sir mix. A lot
Awesome idea! Love seeing other creative MI entrepreneurs hustling.
Hmmm…my Vitamix has no name but I have been known to gaze at it with adoration so perhaps it deserves one!
We have a Vitamix and LOVE it. I had never heard of a blendtec before, it looks bigger then ours? So far I have 1 of your amazing straws and I won’t share with my 4 kids or hubby so they would really love if I won 1. Thank you for an awesome giveaway.
Cheers

I call my blender Old Faithful. I use her everyday sometimes twice per day. I take green smoothies to work everyday for fast, easy, healthy supper. I love love straws but only have plastic (yuck) and metal (nice but sometimes too cold); I would really like to experience the glass straw and all it’s magical wonders! Thanks. Peace!
I love my Blendtec, I have 1 containers and we use it daily if not repeatedly in a day!! I haven’t named her.
Best purchase!!
Lisa
Olive Oyl……named after popeyes wife, since I usually use spinache in my smoothies 🙂
My blendtec’s name is Blendra 🙂 She is so excited about her new straw…She can’t wait to get one!
Our BlendTec is named the Mother-In-Law. She loves to chew things to bits and whip things up. I’m sure she would love a new cool straw to stir her pot with. !!!! =)
I haven’t named my Blendtec but I love my green smoothies!!!!
I have not named my Blendtec but I LOVE it. Absolutely LOVE it. What a great idea the straws are!
Love my Blendtec. I’ve called it my Probiotic(because it does the job of my stomach and saves me a lot of digestive grief. Adding a straw would be awesome at the next party as I’m sure my friends will all want one.(I’ll be sure to show it off).
We LOVE our vitamix, after just a few days, I was getting ready to make smoothies and my 5 year old said in his best ball game voice “step right up to smoooothie city”. A long name for a blender, but that’s what we say every time!!
No name for my Blendtec yet, but I’ll make sure I choose one soon! I absolutely love the idea of an extra-long smoothie straw, how brilliant is that!!! I can totally see myself drinking straight from the blender 🙂 Thanks!!!
How very AWESOME!!! I will have to name mine pronto… I have just learned to make almond milk… it is so much fun to learn. I would LOVE a straw- Bless you for designing one!!
Love my blendtec Greatest purchase that I have made in long time. Love you idea of a straw. Thanks
My blender is named Lonely.
She is sitting in a box in the Blendtec Warehouses just waiting for me to click the
‘make purchase’
tab and free her from the brown box dungeon she currently resides in. Money is tight but hope it will be real soon I open up the avenues to better health for myself and allow her to receive daily workouts! Soon, real soon!
I joke that it took me 30 years to commit to a blender but I knew the right one when I met him…
My new blendtec arrived this week:)
He’s not yet named. I think I need to get to know him a little better…
I would LOVE to win him a sexy new straw friend!
Hmmm . . . I have a Vitamix . . . . which I have never named. But I love the idea of reusable glass drinking straws . . . had thought of making such a thing out of clay but never got around to it.
Glass . . . . through which one can see is a much better idea . . . so it is easy to know it is clean.
great idea and please enter me in your contest too. thanks, rita
I didn’t name my BlendTec, but I love it, and I would love a straw for it. I find it hilarious that your Blendtec has the same name as I do!
My blender doesn’t have a name yet. I just got her and the first thing I told my husband ( who I love dearly) is” you know if we ever get a divorce the blender is coming with me ” it was love at first use
I love your blog header photo! My blender doesn’t have a name but my GPS is named Carmen.
I would name my blender Lucy Luscious as she makes me such delicious shakes and more! These straws look amazing!
I fell in love w/my Blendtec too and named her Bella.
She’s been a wonderful partner!
No name for Blender….but grateful for what it does. Use it for smoothies, ice cream, salad dressing, crepe, pancake and waffle batter, pesto, soup….it’s a workhorse in my kitchen. I’ve purchased the twister jar and have used it to make small batch pasta dough. I just ran out of tahini, so I will try making my own tahini.
I named my blender, “Blendie”. 🙂
Would love a glass straw… awesome idea!
I just call ours Awesome Blendtec!
I love my Blendtec blender so much! I use it often and for everything! Ice creams, soups, shakes, to chop a lot of something or even to make fine ice! I use it for mixed drinks and pancake mix. To make sauces and syrups! Some times I make a mess of it, but it is simple to clean, just a wipe and boom its all done! . I guess i’ve named it “Blendy”. Or at least thats what i refer to it as when i talk to people about it. In my opinion tho, It’s almost a thing of worship and almost too good for just a name. I treat it as if it were a sacred holy relic or something similar. But hey, I love my blender!
I love Blendtec!!! Not only do they make kick butt blenders but it is an amazing place to work!!!
I cant think of an epic enough name for our blender….Oh wait…Epic sounds good!!!
My names blender is Cheeky! Cause it does things other blenders dont do 🙂
Great Idea!!! I usually just drink right from the jar. A straw would be so awesome!
I know that the giveaway isn’t going on anymore, but I wanted to chime in anyway since I have only just now been back to your site in a long time. I have been using my 10 inch straw in “Varna” my blendtec since I very 1st ordered from you. We named her Varna after Husqvana since my favorite thing to tell people is she is so powerful and ferocious she has the same horsepower as a lawnmower. She has been my bestest kitchen friend for the past two years and going strong!
My blender is just named Blendy he makes great drinks!
I just got a blender yesterday and I don’t know what I’ve done without one for SO long. I have yet to name it though.
