Saw this and had a laugh.

The grandfather of viral ads. Olympus blending?

guy is crazy!

i dont know what that blended is made of, or what powers it, but that thing can crush anything.

It's a Viral ad for industrial blenders used in resteraunts. The "show" has become a clasic example of internet based advertising. People watch it on youtube as entertainment, but they are selling blenders.

I expect the Olympus blending is a cross-promotional ad that Olympus supports.

Personally I could watch that guy blend stuff all day. After a long day of meetings, and work related BS, there is something really relaxing about watching a cup of marbles gets blended down to dust. There is something very Zen about homogenizing golf balls.

The best part is that guys mid 1950's game show smile.

"Don't breathe this."

Surely this is one of the classic lines from advertising. And it works. For all the money they've spent blending DSLRs, iPhones, Xboxes, and rakes, they've more than made it back in sales.

And by god do I want a Blendtec blender. And the soundtrack.
