Why This Matters

The release of Ninja's new Practical Magic-inspired Slushie Machine highlights the company's ability to combine pop culture themes with innovative kitchen appliances, appealing to both fans and consumers seeking versatile frozen drink makers. Its dual-sided design and customizable features make it a practical addition to social gatherings, emphasizing the growing trend of fun, themed appliances in the smart kitchen market.

Key Takeaways

When Ninja first released its hefty Ninja Slushi Twist machine in May, it sold out on the brand’s website in less than two hours. Today, the company is launching the same machine again, but with another twist.

Ahead of the release of Practical Magic 2, Ninja is conjuring the Ninja Slushi Twist in four new colors related to the cult-classic franchise: potion purple, midnight margarita, bewitching blue and moon stone.

Besides the new colors, inspired by the film’s main characters, the Owens sisters, no other changes were made to the popular machine, which is like two Ninja Slushi machines in one.

The Slushi Twist, though, features two separate sides that can each hold 48 ounces of liquid and together make up to 72 ounces of frozen drinks, since the liquid expands as it freezes. A Dual Slush Assist button allows both sides to begin mixing and freezing, but if you only want to use one side of the machine, that’s possible, too.

It also has two levers so you can enjoy both flavors at once or one at a time, depending on your preference. And speaking of levers, Tara Brown, our social media guru, who got her hands on the potion purple color, said, “I know it’s supposed to give Practical Magic, but it’s also giving Yzma from Emperor’s New Groove.”

In addition to the new colors, the Slushi Twist is currently available in taupe, blue, purple and green.

@cnetdotcom What’s better than one slushy machine? Two, of course. Ninja recently launched the $400 Ninja Slushi Twist, a two-in-one slushie maker that can churn out two concoctions at once, then dispense them at the same time.

The machine excels at slushie-making, as long as sugar or alcohol is added to the mix to help it freeze. Since I first received the device, it has become a staple at birthday parties and other family gatherings.

The Ninja Slushi Twist sells for $400 and is now available in the four new bewitching colors.
