August 2, 200718 yr ...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.

August 2, 200718 yr 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.

That must have been ages ago.
August 2, 200718 yr 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.
August 2, 200718 yr iPhone =Phone And Ipod Football = Foot And ball That's how you make it seem. Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.

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.
August 3, 200718 yr I nearly wet myself watching that one. :XD: Sad that they wasted a perfectly good iPod and iPhone, though. :(
August 3, 200718 yr shouldn't this be under the video section.... But, OLD NEWS IS SO EXCITING!! IGNORE THESE FOUR WORDS
August 3, 200718 yr 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
August 3, 200718 yr http://youtube.com/blendtec The Glow Stick one is the best. He should blend some Lego people. You only have to type four extra keys for me to not think "ur" an idiot.solardeathray.teensupergenius.com

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:
