00:02:27

Are you Team Hydra or Team Shield? Why pick one when you can be both? The Marvel Legends team at Hasbro has a Pulse-exclusive female shield and Hydra agent two-pack up for pre-order featuring a bunch of heads and weaponry options for each of the two soldiers for $50.

Gadget Talk: BlendJet 2 Promo

Speaker
Face it, shaker bottles suck. Your shakes always come out clumpy and they're a pain to clean. You're right, Dave. That's why I decided to ditch my shaker bottle for good and get myself a BlendJet 2 portable blender.
00:04:40
Speaker
It makes perfectly blended shakes in just 20 seconds. BlendJet 2 is portable, so you can blend up a smoothie at work, a protein shake at the gym, or even a margarita on the beach. It's small enough to fit in a cup holder, but powerful enough to blast through tough ingredients like ice and frozen fruit with ease. BlendJet 2 is whisper quiet, so you can make your morning smoothie without waking up the whole house.
00:05:07
Speaker
It lasts for over 15 blends and recharges quickly via USB-C. Best of all, BlendJet 2 cleans itself. Just blend water with a drop of soap and you're good to go. With an array of colors, patterns, or even Disney-inspired designs to choose from, show off your personality while you're blending up something delicious on the go. What are you waiting for?
