\"Blend\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes folks, the iPhone even blends.<\/p>\n

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?<\/a>” series, and his deadpan delivery just adds to the absurd, informercial-like atmosphere to these videos.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. For those who love seeing expensive Apple products get destroyed, crushed and blown to bits, this video is sure to please.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

By the way: The blended iPhone’s remains are up for bid on eBay<\/a>, and amazingly they are fetching a higher price than a fully-intact model!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
