She said she was inspired to order two – one for her and one for her husband – and tried to drink it on the way home, but « the fruit kept getting stuck. »
« No matter how much I blew out the straw I could only get a partial sip or so, » 5BoysMom13grands wrote.
« I got home and we kept trying to drink it. I finally said, give me your drink, I dropped it into the Vitamix and wham, bam, now I have something I can drink. Honestly for $6.59 for two drinks, I won’t be doing this again! »
