Jonas Salk used a Waring Blender with an aseptic dispersal container attachment to develop his lifesaving polio vaccine In the 1950s, new uses for the blender were constantly emerging, including applications in research laboratories. Product innovations continued with the introduction of color-coordinated blenders with solid-state controls and attachments that crushed ice and ground coffee. World War II temporarily halted blender production but in 1946, Waring sales took off again as consumer demand grew. The Waring Blendor® name was adopted shortly thereafter, and in 1938, the product was officially renamed the Waring Blender. However, Waring's background as a mechanical engineer kept him enthusiastic, and ultimately he helped perfect the final product, then called the new "Miracle Mixer," in time to introduce it at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago in 1937. Six months and $25,000 later, the prototype still didn't work. Osius was seeking support for a new mixer that would "revolutionize people's eating habits." Waring, who had just finished a radio broadcast in New York's Vanderbilt Theater, was intrigued with the concept of a mixer such as the one Osius described, and he agreed to back the new product, even when the prototype failed to work the first time. Waring's roots date back to 1936 when an inventor named Fred Osius approached Fred Waring, a popular entertainer of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, with his latest invention.
