Aparentemente, a silver bullet es como una manera de solucionar problemas de manera efectiva y fácil:
Silver bullet:
The metaphor of the silver bullet applies to any straightforward solution perceived to have extreme effectiveness. The phrase typically appears with an expectation that some new technology or practice will easily cure a major prevailing problem.

Por eso pienso que pudiera tratarse de la parte superior de esas mezcladoras/licuadoras pequeñas de cocina en este caso (Small Kitchen Mixers).



Example sentence(s):
  • Metrokane Bullet Cocktail Shaker
  • It looks like a giant silver bullet you would need at a party featuring werewolves who are very very drunk. The 28-ounce Metrokane Bullet cocktail shaker
