While the Blendtec blender can blend all manner of topical gadgets, it looks like it’s met its match in a pair of keys. Will it blend a pair of keys? Uh…no. [@ahphotovideo via Lansing Noise via The Daily What]

What happens when you put an iPad in a blender? For all of you who’ve been expressing your dislike for the past few weeks: catharsis. Catharsis and dust.
Have you guys heard of this “Will It Blend?” thing? Apparently it’s all the rage on the internet! That’s why the cutting-edge minds at Olympus jumped on this new fad to make a viral video of their own.
YouTube superstar Tom Dickson gained massive fame when he turned an iPhone into dust, mocking all of us who don’t have one. Now, he brings his videos to the App Store, with a twist!
Will lighters blend? Yes, they will. And the explosive results, filmed in slo-mo, have finally warmed me up to this otherwise inscrutable internet meme. Good thing we didn’t try this at the Giz Gallery! [Kotaro269]
On Saturday at the Gizmodo Gallery, we blended a fully-functioning iPhone, sacrificing it to the gods of copy and paste. What we learned was that if you blend an iPhone with its battery inside, it explodes. Whoops!
The Gizmodo Gallery, which starts this week in NYC, is going to have voodoo. See, Blendtec, the guys responsible for those catchy videos of gadgets being destroyed aren’t just giving us one to give away as a door prize, but they’re setting us up with a demo model we can use to pulp our own gadgets with.
The original iPhone with its metal back couldn’t survive the Blender’s assault, so what chance does this iPhone 3G’s plastic spine have? Zero. Then again, has anything ever failed to blend properly? I’d say these guys need a new shtick but we keep linking and you keep clicking so I guess I’m not actually as apathetic about the whole stunt as I feel at the moment..*watching*..Ok, that’s still cool.
