Ultimate iPhone Review — Will It Blend?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everything-blends-in-a-blendtec dept.

I've been enjoying the Will it Blend videos forever. There's something about a labcoat clad crazy man putting things like marbles and soda cans into a blender and after reducing them to powder, warning you not to breathe in the particles. Well today they ask the ultimate question of the latest over-hyped internet sensation Will the iPhone Blend? Fans of these videos can probably guess the answer... and this story made my morning. I've been waiting for an excuse to link these forever. If you haven't seen these, you're in for a real treat.

    That's the entire point. It's supposed to be an advertisement. But it's a lot better than most of the adverts you see on tv these days.

    Of course it's an advertisement! But hardly a "waste" of a good product -- links on digg, slashdot, and all the mac sites to boot for under a grand is the cheapest ad campaign ever.

    If you're looking for wasteful advertising, try the Olympics.

    They kind of piss me off, too. It's always a waste of a good device/product. How is that? I thought it was an excellent use of a blender. The blender survived just fine.

    To me, it's a terrible waste of money and technology. My parents would have gone mad if I had ever deliberately broken something as expensive as that.

    Rich kids with too much free money to spend...

    You do realize this is an advertisement, right? He's spending $500 on an iPhone, plus production costs, in order to sell what's likely to be thousands (possibly tens of thousands) of dollars in blenders. Not exactly a waste.
