Death by blendtec
The Cen-Tex Smoker
Posts: 22,927
must just be my week for sh!t to go wrong but this happened today
Side blew out of my blendtec and threw fruit 20 feet down the kitchen and in to every nook and cranny in my kitchen. It was in the light switches, in the slots of my outlets, on the ceiling and in my cabinets. Took an hour to clean it all up. The part of the jar that flew off hit the wall so hard it dented it.
Probably best to steer clear of casa centex until this voodoo curse wears off. I blame Nola.

Crap, did something break off the blade, I can't imagine that happening. I'll have to be careful with our Blendtec. Maybe you ought to go to bed and stay there for a whileLBGE - I like the hot stuff. The big dry San Joaquin Valley, Clovis, CA

Nope. The fruit was semi-frozen but nothing I haven't done 100 times before. Must have had a hairline crack or something. Just blew it out.logchief said:Crap, did something break off the blade, I can't imagine that happening. I'll have to be careful with our Blendtec.

I will say I've never been hurt eating a steak. All these fruits and veggies are going to be the death of me.

Good news is they'll replace it no problem. Sorry about the blendtec exorcism.

Hope so. I have a call in.Eggcelsior said:Good news is they'll replace it no problem. Sorry about the blendtec exorcism.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Dang @The Cen-Tex Smoker - Another data point on why this greens and fruits living is dangerous. What a fun clean-up I'm sure. You definitely need to get to the stage in life where you can use bottle openers, twist off tops, cook screws and pop tabs for your daily fruits, vitamins and carbos. Much less chance for disaster-at least early in the game

Yup....stay away from the fruit and veggies and hit the proteins hard for awhile! It's a conspiracy brought on by the people at PETV (people for the ethical treatment of vegetables)Central Valley CA One large egg One chocolate lab "Halle" two chiuahuas "Skittles and PeeWee"

Same thing happened except wife was making some Shakeology and it flew everywhere. Funniest part about it was the dog trying to Carmichael it all while it was in air.
@The Cen-Tex Smoker good to know Blendtec is replacing it for free. -
My friend you are living under a dark cloud. You could buy take out for a day or two but I'm afraid it might be tainted with some dreaded bacteria.Coleman, Texas

That's nuts.

It would be nice if they did since those mixers are 100-120.

I'm just surprised this wasn't titled
