My wife recently upgraded her Ninja blender, which she uses for cooking all sorts of tasty country desserts. The old blender came with its own set of cups, which were blender specific and can’t be used with the newer models.

Rather than throw the cups away, we use them in various places around the farm and stock them with chlorinated powder soap for easy dispensing and dry storage. Be sure to label the cups so they are not mistaken for human consumption. Places to use them include calf barns, milk houses, and hospital parlors.
