Will It Blend?
Filed under: General — jeff @ 5:58 pm
Just found an amazing series of videos linked from Scoble’s blog. For $50, a blender manufacturer filmed a series of “extreme blending” videos and put them up on YouTube. Five days later they had over 6 millions hits on willitblend.com and I have to think that they’ve sold more than a few blenders. Given that we’ve burned out several lesser models in our kitchen, I’m certainly interested. Read the entire story to learn more.
Then go watch the videos:
- Will It Blend? Extra Value Meal
- Will It Blend? Marbles
- Will It Blend? Golf Balls
- Will It Blend? Rake Handle
- Will It Blend? Coke + Chicken = Cochicken
- Will It Blend? Ice Into Snow
- Will It Blend? Coke Can Smoothie
- Will It Blend? Credit Cards
- Will It Blend? Pens
Of course there’s a blog, and they will be on The Tonight Show this coming week!

Heh, I came in with this volley, that pretty much was one of the last discussions before people focused on for the weekend. Since Amazon has a few bloggers now, I wonder if they’ve been able to calculate ROI? […]
