But the question over at the blender company <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.blendtec.com\/\">Blendtec<\/a> has been more straightforward as everyone wondered, \u201cWill it blend?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years, the company has been producing videos that showcase the industrial strength of their commercial blenders. In this video, they set out to find if Apple&#8217;s tablet can be blended into an iPad smoothie by chucking it into the \u201cTotal Blender\u201d and turning in\u00a0on. Needless to say, we gripped the edges of our table and wept a little (ok, a lot) as the brand-new iPad was smashed to smithereens.<\/p>\n<p>Past <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.blendtec.com\/willitblend\/\">&#8220;Will it Blend&#8221; videos<\/a> have shown objects like <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.blendtec.com\/willitblend\/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&amp;video=glowsticks\">glow sticks<\/a> or an <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.blendtec.com\/willitblend\/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&amp;video=iphone\">iPhone<\/a> being demolished by the roaring blender. Blendec&#8217;s website proudly states:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Total Blender two jar package includes both the standard 2-quart BPA-free jar, as well as the new <strong>BPA-free 3-quart jar<\/strong> featuring a <strong>precision tuned 4\u201d blade<\/strong> and a <strong>patented fifth side<\/strong>. This larger five sided jar \/ 4&#8243; blade combination creates a more powerful blending vortex, allowing you to power through tougher blending tasks with ease in less time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Are you ready?
