I've recently had the pleasure of test-driving the Ninja Slushi Frozen Drink Maker. And to be honest, it's painstakingly good.That's pain as in ice-cold tooth pain. The Ninja FS301 comes with rapid chill technology, and oh boy, does the product deliver on that promise.There are no gimmicks here. You do not need to add ice or any other frozen ingredients.

Enter the LG Ergo SDQHD DualUp monitor. I never knew how much I needed this bad boy in my life until I had it hooked up to my system.
