1. A blender configured to blend foodstuffs, the blender comprising:
a blending component configured to rotate around a rotational axis and blend the foodstuffs during blending by the blender;
an electrical motor configured to provide a rotational force;
a drive shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the drive shaft being coupled toward the proximal end with the electrical motor to be driven rotationally by the electrical motor about a rotational axis running longitudinally through the drive shaft,
wherein the blending component is carried at or near the distal end of the drive shaft and fixed rotationally with respect to the drive shaft such that driven rotation of the drive shaft by the electrical motor causes the blending component to rotate around the rotational axis;
a control interface including a touchscreen configured to receive user input from a user;
a container assembly including a container body having a container height and a display panel having a panel height, wherein the container assembly is configured to hold the foodstuffs within the container body, wherein the display panel is embedded in the container assembly, and wherein the display panel is configured to electronically present visual content including text graphics, responsive to receipt of the user input via the touchscreen, wherein the visual content includes first visual content and second visual content; and
control circuitry configured to:
control the electrical motor during blending by the blender;
responsive to a first user input received by the touchscreen of the control interface, effectuate presentation of the first visual content on the display panel, wherein the first visual content includes a first set of text graphics; and
responsive to a second user input received by the touchscreen of the control interface, effectuate presentation of the second visual content on the display panel, wherein the second visual content includes a second set of text graphics.
