Coffee and Manipulation points us to some virals for Blendtec, a company that hawks ordinary-looking blenders that are apparently not so ordinary. We were mesmerized in a pathetic sort of way when the man in the white coat fed a rake to his blender on the :90 second soup cycle.

We have a strong suspicion these virals strike a chord because they speak to a desire to feed things that will create fatal shrapnel in contact with swirling kitchen blades. But hey. It’s not like videos go viral because they’re deeply profound. – Contributed by Angela Natividad
