Click At some point in your favorite Movie or TV show, one of the edit button characters decides to start make a smoothie, using all the usual ingredients. Into the blender goes blueberries, fruit juice, a banana, sausage? a chocolate bar with the wrapper on? A pen?

This trope occurs when unusual ingredients, often including some non-food items, are added to a blender. May occur after a character promises a "special shake", or some similar description. Often, the more typical items are added first, while the more "unconventional" items are saved for later.

May sometimes be an example of a LethalChef or CordonBleughChef. A HideousHangoverCure may be this. Despite the name, the trope applies to any sort of mixture that gets blended in a blender.
