I want the next "Will It Blend?" to be these people attaching iPhones to a variety of terribly dangerois machinery at high speed. Grinders, chainsaws, motorbike wheels.

Or maybe some safer things too - place it on a record on a turntable and film the face of the DJ doing some mixing?



I want the next "Will It Blend?" to actually answer the stated question — "can this iPhone be used to make a smoothie?" — rather than "can it be blendED?".

Seems like strapping an iPhone to an angle grinder is getting close to answering the stated question...


What you're describing is the original "Will It Blend": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg1ckCkm8YI&feature=kp


No, I mean "can this iPhone be used to make a smoothie", not "can a blender turn this iPhone into an iPhone smoothie".

Take a blender, remove the blades, put iPhones on the spindle where the blades were. Now fire up the blender and throw in some fruits. Will iPhones spinning at $whatever RPMs be able to turn your fruits and wheat grass into a delicious smoothie?

The original is actually "Will It Be Blended [by this blender]". I want to know "Will It Make a Suitable Replacement for a Blender".


Ah yes, sorry, I'm an idiot. I read your original 'rather than' in reverse.
