NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2026--
SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE: SN), the global product design and technology company, this month launched the Ninja SLUSHi® Twist, a dual-vessel frozen drink machine built for the problem every host faces: not everyone wants the same thing. Two 48-oz vessels run at the same time. Keep one side for mocktails and one for cocktails, run two completely different flavors, or twist both together in a single swirled drink. No second batch. No group vote. Everyone gets what they want because the best moments with friends and family shouldn't come with compromises.

Double the technology, double the SLUSHi
Dual SlushAssist™ Technology powers each side independently, sensing ingredients and setting ideal conditions with a single button press. The Twist makes 10+ drinks 1 per batch per side across frappes, frozen margaritas, frosé, milkshakes and more. The Ninja SLUSHi® XL, which also launched this season, delivers 2x the capacity and 2x the speed of the original SLUSHi 2 for larger batches of one flavor.
“SLUSHi became a viral sensation after launching in 2024, with consumers constantly sharing their creations online,” said Kait Hebert, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Ninja. “With SLUSHi Twist, we wanted to introduce something different for fans, a new way to mix flavors, customize drinks and keep the conversation going all summer long.”
Sipping all summer, especially on Sundays
Double the SLUSHi means double the fun this summer and savoring every moment of it. And since eighty percent of working Americans report experiencing Sunday Scaries 3, the creeping dread that hits as the weekend winds down, the new SLUSHi Twist is here to save the day. Ninja is on a mission to bring the fun back to Sundays this summer and turn them into something worth looking forward to, and who better to help than Snooki and JWoww.
The duo who made Sunday Fundays legendary on the shore, is partnering with Ninja on a limited-edition SLUSHi Sundays kit and exclusive recipe designed to make Sunday the best part of the week. Snooki and JWoww each created a signature recipe built to run side-by-side on the Twist. Snooki's Pickleback SLUSHi - pickles, pickle juice, and Irish whiskey - runs on one side. JWoww's Passionfruit Margarita SLUSHi - tequila, triple sec, passionfruit juice, lime, and agave - runs on the other.
The first 100 consumers to purchase the SLUSHi Twist online at SharkNinja.com on May 24 receive the SLUSHi Sundays kit free with purchase. It includes the ingredients to make their exclusive recipes plus:
The Snooki and JWoww recipe kicks off a summer-long series of SLUSHi recipe drops. Every Sunday from May 24 through Sept. 6, Ninja releases a new recipe on Instagram and TikTok, inspired by the season’s biggest moments and flavors.
The Ninja SLUSHi® Twist is available at SharkNinja.com for $399.99.

Ninja Launches SLUSHi™ Twist
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2026--
TrustedTech, a Microsoft Managed Partner and leading provider of Microsoft cloud solutions and IT modernization services, today unveiled a striking paradox at the center of enterprise AI adoption: the most senior leaders in organizations are not only driving AI usage, but are also the most frequent users of unapproved tools, creating significant and largely unmonitored security risks.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260519849160/en/
As organizations race to adopt AI technologies, the findings highlight a growing disconnect between policy and behavior at the highest levels of leadership. While companies continue to focus on controlling employee usage, TrustedTech’s data shows the real exposure is originating in the boardroom.
According to the report:
This combination of high usage, high awareness, and low adherence to policy underscores a critical issue: AI adoption is not being driven from the bottom up, it is being accelerated from the top down, often outside the boundaries of corporate governance.
“The conversation around AI risk has been focused in the wrong place,” said Julian Hamood, Founder of TrustedTech. “Organizations have been trying to control employee behavior, but what this data shows is that leadership teams are moving faster than the policies designed to guide them. When executives are using unapproved tools to move quickly, it creates a ripple effect across the entire organization.”
The findings suggest that senior leaders are not only aware of the risks associated with Shadow AI, but are actively participating in the very behaviors they seek to regulate. This dynamic creates a culture of mixed signals, where policies exist on paper but are not reflected in practice, leaving organizations exposed to data leakage, compliance gaps, and security vulnerabilities.
At the same time, the data reinforces that AI usage is no longer experimental, it is embedded in daily workflows. With nearly half of all professionals using unapproved tools and the vast majority acknowledging associated risks, organizations face an urgent need to rethink how they approach governance, visibility, and control.
“This isn’t about stopping AI adoption, it’s about bringing structure to something that’s already happening,” added Hamood. “Companies need visibility into how AI is being used across every level of the organization, especially at the leadership level, where the impact of decisions is the greatest.”
TrustedTech works with organizations to help them navigate this evolving landscape by providing the strategic guidance, governance frameworks, and technical expertise needed to adopt AI responsibly, ensuring that innovation does not come at the expense of security or compliance.
