I was reading in another thread about the ipad, and somene put a link for Will it Blend. So what is the purpose of Will it Blend? Is it just to laugh at people who cry at this? I wonder how many people freaked out when the Ipad was smashed so it would fit in the blender. I laughed so hard. So I guess that is the purpose. It's so stupid and silly that you laugh at it. But again what is the purpose? I guess this has money to burn since he must be buying this stuff so he can see if it blends or not. Why waste money on it? It reminds me of the time when the PS3 was being released for the first time and people waited hours in line to get the PS3. Then you see this guy and girl buy a PS3 and then walk out with people eyeing them, and then thier faces were in shock an horror when they smashed it. LOL.
Maybe we should ask if a Forge World Titan will Blend? Should it be put together and then smashed so it can fit the blender?

There is actually a vid of someone blending FW Crieg.
I like the smash it with hammers vids of the PS3 supposedly it is pretty robust.

Taco is trying to send you here. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious.
"Will it blend" is a neat viral advertising scheme for Blendtec blenders. They did an iPhone when they were still $600/pop, too. Nifty way of demonstrating the effectiveness of their commercial-grade blenders, while scoring many, many hits on the intertubes.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

It's a viral marketing campaign for Bendtec blenders, which are on the high-end of the market.
And it's apparently successful as well.

Its simple: overspecialize and you breed in weakness. It's slow death. |

aww they aren't that much, dude.
but they are awesome.
just the other day I made a fruit smoothie before my workout, you can literally put a whole apple in there, it will blend up the seeds, core, everything, super fiber and protein and vitamins. I have put in many fruits whole, (not bananas and such, but fruits with seeds and cores) and it blends them so smoothly it's ridiculous. and good for you, too!
I'm not a sales rep from blend tec or anything....

Yes, but Amazon will sell you some perfectly reasonable Blendtec blenders for a paltry $400. You don't HAVE to be like Tom Dickson.... I should get one of these. I've never owned a blender that will actually crush ice down to snow cones. Not the $1500 model, though - I don't have a spare 20 AMPs to feed it.

the original purpose of it is to sell awesome blenders. i mean it can crush an I-Pad.
the other purpose is to see which of your friends cry when high priced electronics are crunched. very entertaining.

if you order directly from the site yes, you get gang banged on the price.

I'd swear I read about apple seeds having a very poisonous substance in them.
and was right! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple
Read the part just above references! mmmmm, cyanide. Apparently not enough to be harmful.

 I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent. |
