Do you know the story of how BlendTec used Will It Blend to keep its content about industrial-strength blenders fresh?

While a big fan of their super smart and creative videos, I didn’t know the idea to see what their blenders could blend came about because an executive noticed sawdust on the floor.

One of my favorite videos is when the first generation iPad came to market and they blended one. Blendtec put a nearly $1,000 piece of technology in a blender and blended it up. This, of course, was part of the “don’t try this at home” series. I don’t think you really want to blend an iPad.
