Extreme Blending

Will It Blend?, if you don't know, is a PR site for Blendtec, a blender manufacturer. The site is largely devoted to extreme blending of outrageous but ordinary things, like toilet plungers and toy cars. It speaks to the scientist in me, the deep, dark corner of my soul that wants to press the big red button just to see what will happen.

My favourite is the blending of the iPhone, followed closely by the blending of glow sticks, which is tied with the blending of Bic lighters. The blending of neodymium magnets was also pretty awesome.

My only complaint is that there aren't more explosions. The host talks about smoke, but it's not smoke, it's dust, and there's very little actual smoke. Come on! It's science! Science demands explosions!
