Yes folks, the iPhone even blends.
Blendtec, a housewares company who has really latched on to YouTube as a marketing tool and has had quite a bit of success, is known for demonstrating how durable their products are. From Golf clubs to nuts and bolts, Blender Guru Tom Dickson stars in the company’s “Will It Blend?” series, and his deadpan delivery just adds to the absurd, informercial-like atmosphere to these videos.
Well, now you get to see Tom and his amazing blender render a shiny, gleaming $500 iPhone to shreds, and then pulverize the shreds into a delightfully putrid black dust. For those who love seeing expensive Apple products get destroyed, crushed and blown to bits, this video is sure to please.
Surprisingly, the poor hapless iPhone did manage to hang on inside of the blender for an amazing two seconds before its cheerful, brightly-lit screen darkened forever. But in the end, it succumbed like so many other random objects that have entered the Blendtec’s industrial-strength electric maw.
Of course, Blendtec reminds us that we really shouldn’t wantonly toss $500 electronics gear into blenders, because it could be dangerous. And if you do anyway, don’t breathe in the results.
Oh, and if you’re viewing this site on an iPhone, just launch your youTube application and search for “iPhone.” It’s right there in the results. 🙂
By the way: The blended iPhone’s remains are up for bid on eBay, and amazingly they are fetching a higher price than a fully-intact model!
