Red Shaker Cup....I Lift You Up.... Proceed to CrossFit.


Whether it's your trusty Blender Bottle or a classic generic shaker cup, we can somehow never have too many of these. Seriously. There's something about having a brand new shaker cup that makes it oddly more fun to drink your pre or post workout concoction.

I'm at SaveMart the other day and I walk by the island of "Summer Fun" where they have these shelves filled with different things: candy, chips, bbq skewer things, and..... SHAKER CUPS. Normally I don't automatically freak out when I see shaker cups, but these shaker cups were $4. FOUR DOLLARS?! WHAT?!

No joke, I yelled at them. "You're only $4?!" I pick one up, open it, examine it...why is this so cheap... it's is already cracked? Nope, it was legit. I still need to go back and buy one in every color. 

So what's so awesome about having more shaker cups than you need? It's probably because when we wait 1 day too long before trying to clean our last used shaker cup, it's just easier to buy a new one so you don't have to wash that last one quite yet. Let's let it fester a little bit longer.


You all know exactly what I'm talking about too: That 2 day old shaker cup on the floor of your car behind the driver's seat with remnants of protein shake left at the bottom slowly growing mold. And when you finally have the guts to take it into the house, you're still scared open it...

"Maybe if I breathe through my mouth it won't be so bad..." But then you get all curious after you open the cup and take whiff anyway and immediately regret that decision. The smell is like a mixture of sewage and a baby's diaper.

Or maybe you actually remember to rinse it out right after you use it and it's right then and there you have this odd sense of accomplishment. But we all know that doesn't last and before we realize it, we've got 3 shaker cups in the backseat of the car again.

Suffice it to say, we can't ever have enough shaker cups. I'm just going to stock up on shaker cups and accept the fact that I could very possibly be on an episode of Intervention for hoarding. Oh well.
