I just got my beloved tmx. My 25 year old son wanted to make a huge cup of iced coffee in it. He took the monster mug filled it with milk, added sugar and left the teaspoon in the cup, hidden in the milk... I was a bit shocked at how much noise ice cubes make whilst getting crushed. Alas, it was the teaspoon. The new blades a bit jagged-just a bit. I know I can get a new blade but does anyone have any idea if I must? Also, even though I told him to toss the iced coffee, he drank it. I found tiny grains of stainless steel at the bottom of his cup in the sink. Is this dangerous? I tried googling it all with no luck. I guess we are the only dummies.
