Um, those of you who think a blended RedBull Pretzel mixture is the epitome of distastefulness should stop right here. Yes, the title of this post is accurate. You see I am the notorious ZSG – Zappos Smoothie Guy. About a year ago, I brought in my own blender and started whipping up smoothies with stuff from the lunch room. Some of them were really yummy – and that’s not just me saying that but from my enthusiastic consumers, some only so so yummy, and some quite intentionally un-yummy. Perhaps the foulest intentional smoothie I’ve made is the Sauerkraut SlimJim Smoothie. This is “for reals” and here are some pictures. SORRY!

Pi Day!

Not exactly PI as in Product Info from the picnic yesterday, but also pi, the numerical constant, the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle, commonly known as 3.14. Well, today is March 14th or 3/14 - pi day! Turns out we have some seriously numerical and mathematical people at Zappos. Here's Daisy, one of our Merchandise Planning Analysts who is quite the pi enthusiast.

Let's see, a cherry "pi" in one hand, 3.14 in a pie slice on her t-shirt and a pizza "pi", borrowed from the lunch room, in the other hand. We pi/e fiends were quite amused and impressed that pizza was served today - normally Friday is a soup, salad and sandwich day.

But wait, there's more! We had a load of pies, fruit, cookies, cream, and many other things floating around the office, so we made "PI Day Smoothies" with some of them. Below is a picture of the ingredients for the cherry pie smoothie.

We also made a Dutch Apple pie smoothies. Which was better? Apples and Oranges baby! Do you have any pi day stories to share?
