Meet Jake Karls Co-Founder of Mid-Day Squares

"I am the "rainmaker" at Mid-Day Squares and resident Social-Personality. In other words, I build relationships and make noise. We at Mid-Day Squares manufacture Functional Chocolate Bars: Everything a chocolate bar isn't, everything a protein bar wishes it was.

Two things you must know about me:
1. An actuary that turned into the modern day W***y Wonka.
2. It's simple... My motto is "Get comfortable being uncomfortable."

What is a Mid-Day Square bar?
The first functional chocolate bar. Imagine a chocolate bar making love to a protein bar but getting rid of all the bad characteristics of the protein bar. Only using REAL whole food ingredients and made with REAL chocolate."

Meet Martin Salama!

"I created the philosophy behind this approach after spending years in emotional pain and turmoil after my brother, Michael, died in an accident when we were children. This event in my life radically shaped how I viewed the world and drove me to become a people pleaser to make sure everyone around me didn’t experience the pain I had. The only problem was — this plan backfired. Everyone in my life (including me) was miserable."

THE NEXT-GEN BLENDER
BlendJet 2 serves up considerable blender power on the go. We created the BlendJet 2 portable blender so you can make anything you want, anywhere in the world — from a mountaintop to your kitchen countertop. It’s easy and convenient to use at home, at work, outdoors, at the gym, in the car, at the beach, on vacation, or wherever the day takes you.

PATENTED TURBOJET TECHNOLOGY
Traditional blenders only use their blades to blend, but we invented a new method that makes every other blender obsolete. Our secret weapon? BlendJet 2’s stainless steel blades are offset from the center of the base, which creates a tornado effect that blasts ingredients into the back of the jar 275 times per second, resulting in dramatically better blending. This technology — combined with a more powerful motor and doubled battery capacity — makes BlendJet 2 five times more powerful than BlendJet One.
