Stirring chocolate syrup into milk has apparently become too physically demanding for modern humanity, which is why someone invented a battery-powered cup that does it for you.
What It Actually Does
The Moo Mixer is a drinking cup with a built-in motorized mixer at the bottom. You pour in milk, squirt in chocolate syrup, press a button, and tiny spinning blades blend it into chocolate milk while you stand there watching. The cup eliminates the grueling thirty seconds of manual labor required to achieve the same result with a spoon.
Who This Is For
The target market appears to be people who find spoons too exhausting but still have the energy to locate batteries, install them in a cup, and wash motorized components after each use. It’s marketed toward parents of picky kids, though one has to wonder if teaching children that stirring is too much effort is really the lesson we’re going for here.
The Verdict
The Moo Mixer solves a problem that didn’t quite exist by creating several new ones, mostly involving cleanup and battery replacement. But if you’ve ever looked at a spoon and thought “this is beneath me,” congratulations—your moment has finally arrived.
