Will It Blend? Who Cares.

OK so Tom Dickson has been hyping his Blendtc blender in online videos for some time now. They are, as expected, just as cheesy as old school Ronco and K-tel commercials. To prove blending strength, Tom tosses all sorts of things into the blender; avocados, an iPhone, a rake, sneakers, a Rubik’s cube, Mario Kart and plastic sports cars.

It’s all pretty stupid. But it’s all pretty smart too. Well, if you can equate YouTube views with sales, that is.

For two years, Tom’s been tossing all manner of matter into his blender. If one follows the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” school of thought, it’s a fair fair bet his videos are paying off.
