Unlike a teardown, these devices can't be put back together.

All it needs now is a cherry on top.

What a complete waste of technology.

 

[eternalkp]

one of the dumbest videos i've ever seen

As much as I don't like , I think those couple hundred dollars wasted should have gone to something useful, like maybe hurricane aid...

While this may seem pretty dumb and a waste of technology, one should keep in mind this is an ad campaign for Blendtec blenders. It has been extremely successful, increasing their sales by a remarkable 700%.

Looked kinda yummy.

 

[groveborn]

I'm impressed by how well the metal and glass was shredded. I've had blenders that can't chop crackers into dust.

 

[deftonian]

impressive blenders

The part where he hits each tablet to the corner of the blender to fold it is pretty interesting. It looks like the Nexus 7 is the most resilient of the three, bouncing back to what looks like its original shape twice. The Kindle Fire HD bounces back but remains deformed. The iPad Mini instantly deforms (probably due to being thinner - there is a point where a product can be too thin).

I have a Blendtec. Love the thing.

Reminds me of when Daniel Tosh got one of the first iPads - only to whack it with a 9 iron. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What a waste. Irresponsible and stupid.

An American businessman, Tom Dickson, takes $1200 worth of foreign manufactured products and destroys them in his American made blenders, in videos that go viral, thereby increasing his sales by around 700%, providing more jobs, and millions in additional revenue for his company and his employees. That doesn't sound irresponsible or stupid to me. It sounds like he spent that $1200 quite well. The man certainly knows how to market a product.

Unless your goal is to draw attention to your companies Blenders by a HUGE amount with a cheap youtube ad campaign.

Meanwhile.... I was traumatized by the footage. Those poor defenseless tablets just wanted to have a peaceful life playing Netflix movies...

Wow. could not have said it better.

 

[s3anister]

It brought a smile to my face to see such impractically sized tech get destroyed.

 

[nebun]

have to agree with you, i hate it when anything gets destroyed when it could have been put to use for someone.

yea i can see that... now, tell me.
company can produce 10 blenders an hour (example)
sells 1 blender an hour
puts this out and sells 7 blenders an hour

never having to higher more people, and was sustainable at 1 an hour
im not saying thats what happened, but im saying its possible.

and i hate it when any thing gets destroyed for the purpose of advertizeing.

 

[raytseng]

Realize too that these are high end blenders that cost in the same range as the tablets.

They should have a Will it blend: blendtec blender. To see if it can blend itself. woah...mind blown

 

[Shin-san]

They still are making these videos. Amazing

 

[Markon101]

I about cried when he broke the Nexus, and then the Kindle, but when the Ipad mini was destroyed cheered for some reason. Oh well I would of taken all three for free! He wouldn't have even had to break them. (Just send em to me)

 

[Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer]

Is it just me or did the iPad mini fold like cheap linen compared to the other two tablets?

Also, dude's totally gonna get cancer. Mm, smells like pulverized batteries.
