What type of object would NOT typically be considered drug paraphernalia?

The reason a blender used for preparing food would not typically be considered drug paraphernalia is that it has a primary function related to food preparation, which is legal and socially accepted. In legal terms, drug paraphernalia refers to items that are specifically designed or intended for the use of illegal drugs.

In contrast, the other options listed directly relate to the consumption or preparation of drugs. A mixing device for controlled substances and a hypodermic syringe are both explicitly designed to facilitate drug use or manufacturing processes. A bowl for smoking also clearly serves the purpose of drug consumption. Therefore, the blender stands out as it lacks direct association with illegal drug activities and maintains a legitimate use in a culinary context.
