Here at the Magic Bullet, we like to think we were the first ones to revolutionize your life. Of course, there are a few things more inventive than we are, like Thomas Edison’s light bulb and that round thing called a wheel. Imagine our surprise when recent paleontologists discovered the ancient tradition of making smoothies. Puts Jamba Juice practically out of business (except for their free cheeseburgers and boosts – we’ll pay for anything free).
Check out the NewScientist article about Mick Hastie‘s super-great grandparents. We’ll admit, it’s a little drryyy, so make sure to whip up something in your Magic Bullet beforehand. Read it here, or check the SparkNotes versions below:
Ancestors may have used bone tools to make smoothies
(i.e. Science is cool! Please read me) written by Ewen Callway (a British scientist/headliner who has a Twitter)
- Anthropologists think that bones belonging to large mammals may have been used to make fruit smoothies.
- They’re not really sure, they’re just guessing, but new scanner technology makes them pretty sure about one thing:
- Ancient peeps did use the tools to dig up termites and eat them.
- Termites have more protein per grams than steak.
- There is a spelling mistake in the article, and if you find it, you rock (or bone)!
We here at Magic Bullet HQ do not recommend sticking termites in your smoothie.
Cheers~
