On the face of it the concept is simple. Tom Dickson (founder of Blendtec) shoves something into a blender and see what happens. The result though has really hit a nerve, to the point where the ad has spawned a catch phrase often repeated on the holy grail of nerd traffic, Digg.com

Part of the appeal (and search juice) is from clever choices of things to blend, the Apple iPhone, an iPod, Halo 3, Nintendo Wii … and of course it is just plain fun to watch!
