Will It Blend?
Here are some videos that I find strangely compelling, where a company called Blendtec shows how effective their $400 kitchen blender is by blending some interesting items like golf balls, hockey pucks, glass marbles, cell phones, an iPod, etc. It has apparently become something of an internet phenomenon. It's probably a good example of viral marketing.

1. I saw a bit on TV about that a couple days ago.
It seems to be a very efficient gadget. :eyes:

2. Hey hey
I watched those a month or two ago on YouTube.

Marketing or not they are cool as hell and if I had the bajillion dollars they charge for their blenders I might buy one.

3. Let 'em blend some steel ball bearings...
I'd be pretty impressed then; even so, if I needed a golf-ball shake, they'd probably catch my interest.

6. Wow I read your post as "killed someone at work"
and then, less than a minute later a post about disposing of a neighbor.

Are we just tired or are we sick too?

LOL!
