Everybody knows that the iPhone can make phone calls, play movies & music, surf the web, and a lot more. But, Will It Blend? That is the question.
We’ve been waiting for this and our patience has finally been rewarded!
Will It Blend? Blendtec provides the answer here: http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=iphone

i wonder if that blender can blend a blender.
When is the ZUNE going to be blended? Oh, wait, they are hard to find. Nevermind…..
It’s a fine line between genius and utter stupidity. Homework: look up definition of “cretin”.
I have to laugh, both at the stunt and the people here who have a problem with it.
The concept is to show how tough Blendtec blenders are. This is a good promotional way of doing it–by throwing different things in the blender to show how tough it is. Kind of like the superglue ads of old. Besides the iPhone, they’ve tried toilet components, baseballs, video cameras, magnets, golf clubs, hockey pucks, crowbars, glass bottles, and marbles.
Hell, they even did an iPod awhile back.
It’s a very clever way of showing off how tough their blenders are.
By the way, PM, if you want to sell cars in the US you do have to crash them to show that they meet certain safety requirements. The Insurance Institute also has various videos of them crashing cars into things. As for the jumping off of a tall building, are you really equating an iPhone with a person? If so, cut down on the kool-aid, dude…
get over it. it’s just freaking piece of consumer electronics they blended, not your personality. Actually sorry, forgot for a lot of Apple fan-boys, the Apple products they own are the dominant part of their personality.
I watched a live demonstration of these blenders once. It was so powerful, it cooked soup simply by the friction generated between the food and the blades.
Add
block of cheddar cheese
fresh cilantro
whole tomatoes
onion
ground pepper
jalepeno if desired
water
blend
crush by hand some tortilla chips and eat.
Kitchen blenders are for Goddamned wimps.
Ever see a “car eater” in action? Now THAT’S a blender! You could devour a whole shipment of iPhones in one, cargo box and all.
But that’d be such a horrific waste. Maybe it’d be a good way to rid the world of the Zune blight. I’d love to see that video!
it’s an ad

they’ve blended all kinds of stuff, including iPods…
Tom Dickson has a nice smile.
Looking at the “glow sticks” vid, in one of the short clips that they have before the actual blending demonstration there’s a short clip of something throwing out a ton of sparks and (apparently) exploding outside of the blender container. I want to know what that blend was!!! I can’t seem to find it among the ones listed, they must have pulled it from the site, but it looks like it would be awesome!
I wonder if it will blend a camel?
It seems very tough though..
Best blend ever!
Well, if you watch the “crowbar” one, where he actually does a bunch of cell phones, you can see some small explosions as the phone batteries oxidize. Not sure what caused the sparks… maybe magnets?
Well before I saw this I wanted an iPhone but now I want an iPhone and a BlendTec Total Blender.
Seriously though. The blender is pretty awesome as far as blenders go.
wow.
that was very upsetting.
i need to go listen to a boy band.
@Martin
That is an excellent question. I was so impressed with the blender performance that I almost forgot about the iPhone.
I wouldn’t reuse that blender container thingy for all the money in the world, can you even begin to imagine the toxic chemicals and chemical combinations that resulted from that particular blend? YIKES! That black, sooty, airborne haze that came floating out of there when he first opened it was truely scary. I can’t believe he even opened that thing without being under a hood.
Reminds me of the Weird Al song “My Bologna”…
“It slices. It dices.
Look at that tomato!
You could even cut a tin can with it,
But you wouldn’t want to!”
