"Will it Blend?" is a video series developed by a blender company, where various things are blended to show how powerful the blender is. Things like...
- An iPod
- An iPhone
- Halo 3
There are dozens of videos in the series, most of them dealing with very timely topics. Such as this one...
Who would have thought blenders could be so exciting?
This series works for a number of reasons, but one of the big ones is that it deals with stuff which is hot now. They recently did one on US politics. A few months ago, they were talking about the iPhone. Halo 3 was hot. Harry Potter was hot. When "Will it Blend?" deals with these topics, it captures momentum which is already there.

absolutely hysterical! worked for me...
the company i co-founded represents a couple of artists. one of them was recently involved in a battle of the bands where the fans voted for the best band. the show was in nashville, and right around the time we began promoting it, voting for the presidential primaries was taking place. so we tagged onto that saying, "vote for us instead."
