A blender that can handle any tough job We haven’t seen extreme blending like this since Dan Aykroyd was fooling around with the Bass-o-Matic. On a site called Will It Blend?, Blendtec puts its machines through hell, getting them to chop up golf balls, a rake handle, marbles—all sorts of seemingly unblendable items. The lab-coated demonstrator really likes to experiment with Coca-Cola, too. In one video, he makes a Coke smoothie, with the aluminum can included. In another, he blends a Coke and a chicken, creating a Cochicken, just in time for Thanksgiving. The site explains: “Tasks that may be extreme for some machines are, quite frankly, simple tasks for Blendtec blenders.” —Posted by Tim Nudd

Hey, you used my tip! I love these videos. I already own the blender in the videos, but I've only chopped up fruit and ice.

I posted about this last week... you own the blender? That f-ing thing costs $400!

Yeah, don't remind me about the price. It's basically the same machine they use at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and Robek's Juice. You just push the "smoothie" button and walk away. Of course, it's incredibly loud. But I've gotten used to it. Kinda.

I bet it's especially loud with all those marbles in there.

FINALLY. I've been looking for something that I can dispose of bodies in. Now I can just blend up all the parts and flush it down the toilet.
