Abelmisi Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 ...that is the question! Will It Blend? is a viral marketing campaign consisting of a series of 30 second to two minute infomercials demonstrating the Blendtec line of blenders, especially the Total Blender. In the show Thomas "Tom" [bleep]son, the Blendtec founder, attempts to blend various items in order to show off the power of his blender. Tom started this marketing campaign after doing a blending attempt with a box of matches. Famous episodes: Famous blended items * Golf club handle * Golf balls * Baseball * Marbles * Toy cars * Glowsticks * Bic lighters [4] * Rake handle * Diamond simulants (cubic zirconia) * Camcorder * Cell phones * iPod * iPhone * Transformers Toys [5] * Footballs * Ceramic magnets (incorrectly described as loose at neodymium magnets) * Tape measure * Light bulbs * Cassette tapes * Plastic dolls * Hockey pucks * Pens * A can of Spam and two eggs [6] * Tilapia * An assortment of cosmetics * "Cochicken" (a mixture of Coca-Cola and chicken) * "Dental Hygiene Surprise" Website: http://www.willitblend.com/ Videos: Do not try this at home! http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe Do try this at home! http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=safe ----------------------------------- Coolest thing I've ever seen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 This is where I would put a "Is it 1999?" post, but since this is more of a 2006 thing it doesn't work quite as well. Still, the point is this was big a while ago, and once again someone on Tip.it is the last person to hear about it, and wants to share their "new find" with the rest of us.

indy500fan Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Especially the iPhone one. That must have been ages ago. Way to completely miss the point. Yes, the iPhone one was just added recently. It was more or less a reminder that the site still existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already know about this, great you are well informed, just skip the topic. As long as some people find out about this I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llcoolguy972 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I nearly wet myself watching that one. :XD: Sad that they wasted a perfectly good iPod and iPhone, though. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless619 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 shouldn't this be under the video section.... But, OLD NEWS IS SO EXCITING!! IGNORE THESE FOUR WORDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocobodude0 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Everyone needs to be quiet about the whole "TH!$ !$ 01D!!!11!". Who cares? He didn't break any rules, as far as I can tell, there's no other thread about Will it Blend here, so why not discuss it? The point of the thread is to talk about the stuff itself, not how long it's been around. It's not like since it's old, it's bad. Anyway, I love Will it Blend. It's hilarious, my favorite is the glow stick one. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanosauromo Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 http://youtube.com/blendtec The Glow Stick one is the best. He should blend some Lego people.

And as usual, the only thing people arguably care less about than "new find's", is exactly how long ago someone else saw it. Why the heck would you build a blender with that kind of strenght anyway? I mean, "common household appliances" seems sort of... Inaccurate? -This message was deviously brought to you by: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
