Active Review: The Rocket from Bella Kitchen
June 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments
I mentioned before that I scored a Magic Bullet Blender from Kohls for a mere $25. That was only partially true. In fact, the blender I bought was The Rocket made by Bella Kitchen. It looks just like the MB set, and cost the same.
