Product Test: The Blizzard Maker

Around the middle of August my kids saw this commercial on Nickelodeon for the Blizzard maker. We live in a place where we cant just run out and buy a Blizzard from Dairy Queen so I thought this would be fun. I ordered it for a minimal amount and then ordered extra packets of the ice cream mix, (the maker only came with 3 servings) and I waited, I thought it would be here by the middle of September for my sons bday but it wasnt, finally last week my SIL brought the mail in and it came! So today Remy and I decided to open the box we put it all together and realized you need 1/2 and 1/2 which I did not have, again I cant just run to the store to get it so instead we used 1% milk. It was pretty easy to mix, its just like an ice cream maker and then I had to hand crank it and do that for 10 minutes! Finally the mix hardened and we squeezed it out the bottom. It made about 1 cup serving...so for all the work and mess I give it a 4 or 5 out of 10. The 1% milk worked just not as creamy as a real blizzard I would recommend just buying your kids an automatic ice cream maker with the mix you can buy in stores......And after all that Remy didnt even want it, its sitting in the freezer for one of the boys!
