Title: will it blend?
Post by: Valynth on December 19, 2006, 10:34:04 PM
I found this show via youtube.com, and I swear, these guys had me laughing my ass off.  If you notice the blender in the shows is actually one of their lowest end models(I want one of the better ones for christmas).

oh, and the Ipod one made me cringe while laughing and yes, he actually did(for those who watched the show).

This could quite possibly be the most awesome thing ever. Oh, people with too much time on their hands.

Yes, it is indeed awesome, but I believe it's an add campaign.  And I'll be damned if it doesn't make me want to go get one.

Who ever came up with this idea was a genius.

Waaait... is that where they put stuff in a blender and utterly destroy it? I saw it on the front page of YouTube today. I was too scared to look D:

They copped out on the crowbar. :<

I really doubt any of those blenders worked properly after any of those test.

They should try blending rocks.

Oh god, that Thanksgiving one reminded me too much of Fargo.

Unfortunately, it's label as a "do not try at home."   I assume that thats because while the event was successful here, it might not work on other (older?)blenders, leaving the attemptie with a damaged blender and a big mess.

No, but the coke smoothie seems plausible and tasty.  ...Without the can of course.

I've seen some of this a while back. The glass marbles ground into dust is actually dangerous. Glass dust and lungs do not go well together.

Enjoy your salmonella.  :mwaha

Also, it's 'suddenly', not 'suddening'. </spelling nazi>

Hence why they say "don't try this at home" and "glass dust, don't breathe it"

also, thats more grammar than spelling

They may not blend the crowbar, but then you do see them unsuccessfully trying to blend a crowbar during some of the intros.

No thanks.

That show is awesome. iPod in the blender? Win.

Speaking of the ipod, the current bid on eBay for it is:  US $660.75

Now, maybe I missed it, was there any entry that could NOT be blended? Aside from the crowbar

I'm sure there have been a lot of things that couln't be blended, but weren't showed.  Though I'm quite sure that's precisely what you're trying to get at. ;)

Need I mention that this is partially an add campaign?  I doubt they'll show evidence of their product failing.
