Odds are 100% certain you won't last another 45 years.... but still
for as long as you are fixing slushies why not with the best machine.
My Oster blender (Osterizer) is some 60 years old and still working
like brand new,.. and hardly a week has passed that I haven't used it,
I make smoothies constantly, often 2-3 times a week.
