Don't try this at home

[asterroc]

Will It Blend.com is my new favorite website due to the glowstick experiment. Apparently they take all sorts of things that you shouldn't stick in a (-n industrial strength) blender, and see what happens.

I'd really like to see what the blades look like afterwards.

(And btw, it turns out to be a marketting gimmick for Blendtec, but that doesn't make it any less cool.)

Whoa that glowstick one was crazy! My mom has a powerful blender, maybe I should try it... but she'd kill me if I did, lol!

Howdy fellow birdlover! I've been running into a lot of us lately...

Yeah, I'd love to try some of these myself - I told my boyfriend T$ he should get me the "Menomena" dancing Valentine's doll and a blender next year - but I wouldn't try it with anything but a disposable blender. They don't show what happens to the blender's blades after, and I'm pretty sure glowstick contents are toxic so I might not want to use it for food even after washing. On a number of the videos (such as the cubic zirconium and light bulbs) the narrator even says that the dust is harmful, so I'd have to have a superlong extension cord and a high quality dust mask. :-P

Reminds me a bit of Myth Busters.
