Tech: Blendtec ups the “Will it Blend” production values for the iPhone 4

  • The phone took a lot longer to blend this time. Sensing an opportunity to jump on the Gizmodo drama, Blendtec’s popular “Will it Blend” series added a little bit of a plot to its iPhone blending fun. One thing that’s clear from the clip – the iPhone screen is much tougher than the last few have been, because it actually holds up for a few seconds before turning into mush. Also, the “Blend My Phone” contest is freaking brilliant.

Offbeat: “Will it Shred?”: The poor iPad sucks as a skateboard, just an FYI

  • Oh, the agony. This awesome parody of the “Will It Blend” series of videos takes an iPad and tries to turn it into a skateboard. We bet it would’ve worked better had they turned the thing upside down and skated on the non-glass side.

Culture, Tech: “Will it Blend?”, now and then: The iPhone and the iPad

  • 2007: iPhone puree One of YouTube’s most classic and memorable clips came out just after the iPhone’s release, when a blender company threw an iPhone into one of its high-powered blenders and saw what happened. It was awesomely expensive.

  • 2010: Ipad slushee The “Will it Blend?” dude, having had much more experience with the great gift of his, does the same thing to an iPad. Obviously an iPad is too big for one blender, so he violently breaks the thing in half first. Yet another classic.
