Sept 5, 2010: Frozen Margarita Machine
August was National Inventors Month. Smithsonian.Com, in honor of the event, chose the top 10 inventions from their extensive National Museum of American History’s Collections.
Of course they've got the light bulb, telephone, blah blah blah, but coming in at #10... tah tah tah taaaaaah!
What was that?
French horns.

In 2005, the museum acquired the first-ever frozen margarita machine, invented by Dallas restaurateur Mariano Martinez in 1971. Museum director Brent Glass called the invention a “classic example of the American entrepreneurial spirit.” With the advent of the machine, margaritas became as standard as chips and salsa at Tex-Mex restaurants.
