- What's inside a blender?
That's the question.
("Will It Blend?" Theme song)
- Welcome back to What's Inside,
I'm Lincoln, this is Dan.
And today we're cutting open a blender.
- What's inside of a blender?
We're about to find out.
And we don't mean this glass part, we mean down here.
Hopefully you recognize the intro to that. (laughs)
It was kind of a spoof of one of the most popular series
on YouTube ever, the Will It Blend series by Blendtec.
It's actually based out of Utah also.
They had nothing to do with this video,
but we have been asked to cut open a Blendtec blender
ever since we started our YouTube channel.
What really is inside of this?
What does it look like inside?
How is it so tough that it cuts open things?
- We're gonna put this blender through a test and
the first thing that we're gonna test it with
is golf balls.
- Golf balls, these are what's inside golf balls,
they're the Nike version.
And so we're gonna place them in here, inside the blender,
turn it on and see what kind of magic it actually does.
See?
(ambient music)
Okay pause. (yells)
This is hard.
This is harder than it looks.
Don't try this at home.
The whole top wanted to come flying off.
I'm holding it tighter.
Ice cream milk shake.
(upbeat electronic music)
Frozen yogurt.
- [Lincoln] It flew at the top.
- [Dan] Wow.
How is this plastic holding up?
It turns out putting stuff in blenders that is not food
is super scary and dangerous.
- Yeah. - Oh my god.
- Wow.
- It's just beat up it's like somebody just took a knife
and just sliced it and sliced it.
So today we've learned that these blenders are very tough
but our What's Inside golf balls are even tougher
it turns out. (laughs)
We're not gonna try any more because it was super scary
and I would not blend things other than food in here again.
But something cool,
we got this box from Blue Apron in the mail.
We reached out to them and told them that we were gonna
be doing a blender and they said, heck yes we want to
sponsor this video so Blue Apron sponsored this video,
they have fresh ingredients that they ship to your house.
And we decided, let's see if we can blend up some food
and have a little fun competition.
And it was kinda gross and kinda fun.
- Fun for me.
(hip hop music)
- This is Leslie, you've seen her on our family channel.
Lincoln's mom, my wife.
She went to work with this Blue Apron box because
even though it's very easy and it has all the recipes,
I'm just not as qualified to cook stuff so
Leslie what did you make for us?
We made seared chicken, mashed potatoes and kale
and mushrooms.
- Okay what do you like ablout Blue Apron?
- It comes to the door, it's super easy.
(laughs)
Opening up the fresh ingredients, it's 40 minutes
and you have a meal.
- So they ship it pretty much to almost every state
in the U.S.
So the first 100 viewers, if you click on the link in
the description, you can get three free meals from
Blue Apron.
So show them some love for sponsoring this video.
And now, thank you honey for the yummy food.
- You're welcome.
- And now Lincoln and I are gonna have a competition
to see who's gonna eat this yummy meal or this.
(upbeat electronic music)
(blender motor)
- Looks horrible.
(laughs)
Horrible.
- So you have two options.
We have the yummy meal.
(ambient music)
Or we have this.
How do you feel about the meal you made?
(Lincoln gasps)
(Dan coughs)
Those things were never meant to be mixed.
(laughs)
Ever, in the history of the world.
We are gonna settle this the toughest way possible.
Are you ready for a paper, rock, scissors?
- It's rock, paper scissors.
- I say paper, rock, scissors every time,
that's the way it is.
- Okay. - That's it.
Let us know what you think, which one is it?
No redos, we're just gonna go for it,
paper, rock, scissors to the death.
To the death. (distorted voice)
The winner if this paper, rock, scissors,
or rock, paper, scissors.
- Exactly.
- Battle.
- Rock, paper, scissors.
- Gets to take home this beautiful meal and eat it.
The other loser gets to drink as much of this as they can.
(shudders)
There's no way I'm losing this.
(Lincoln laughs)
Okay, ready?
- Yup.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Woo! - Ohh.
Okay best out of three, best out of three.
- Oh come on, now you say that?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Boom. (laughs and cheers) (Lincoln groans)
Okay I'm back in the game, I'm back in the game.
Okay one versus one, whoever does this one
is the winner. - I don't wanna eat that.
- You ready?
- Mm hm. (reluctantly)
Let's do it.
- Okay.
- No.
(Lincoln cheers)
(upbeat orchestral music)
We had a discussion off camera and we decided
Lincoln should drink this. (laughs)
- Wait, when was that discussion again?
- Oh wait that was in my mind (laughs) I forgot.
- Exactly.
You have to at least drink half of it.
- No.
- Yes.
- I'm just gonna take one drink of it.
- No.
- There's no way I could drink all that.
I'd have diarrhea all night.
- (Laughs) Really? (laughs)
- Yes nobody should drink this.
I'm just gonna do it, ready?
(Lincoln gags)
Ugh, that is nasty.
- No why are you drinking more?
- This blender is going down right now,
I'm gonna kill this blender.
It's been nice knowing you Mr. Blendtec blender.
Actually it hasn't.
(upbeat electronic music)
(saw blade spinning)
That thing is tough.
Shouldn't have expected anything less.
It is not going down without a fight.
A major fight.
I've got it cornered from all different angles
and there's something big and metal and smokey
in the middle of it.
That it's just making it impossible.
So, we're gettin' there.
We may have to get us some different tools.
The power just went out so I've gotta go flip the switch but
yeah it's gettin' pretty wild.
You guys can see this.
- Almost there.
- Alright.
So I'm just gonna try to muscle it.
(grunts)
Why is it so strong, blender?
There is so much going on inside of here.
Do you see some of those coils?
And the motor?
(saw grinding)
Holy.
Holy smokes.
Okay I just pulled it as hard as I could,
and somehow it came apart.
This is what happened.
- There's so many copper wires in there.
- [Dan] Look at this thing that came out of the middle.
- [Logan] What is that?
- [Dan] It might be hot but it's heavy,
do you wanna hold it?
- [Lincoln] No.
- [Dan] This was the main motor in the middle of it.
- [Lincoln] Wow.
- [Dan] It's very thick, kind of like a meteorite might be.
Here's the main processor right there.
There's a weird little coil. - [Lincoln] Yeah, right there.
- [Dan] At the bottom, it would sit down in there and spin
and spin and spin and all this stuff would help it spin
and stay strong. - [Lincoln] Wow.
- [Dan] That is a tough motor, extremely tough motor.
- [Lincoln] That is crazy.
- [Dan] It is super cool in there.
I am very impressed with this.
This is definitely one of the hardest things we've ever
cut open.
It is built like a tank.
This motor is what intrigues me the most.
I would love to see if this thing could blend.
I don't think it can.
I think if we took it in there and tried to put it
in the blender, it would break the blender.
Blender.
- Blender.
(hip hop music)
- We have Yeezys that we're going to put inside of the
blender today.
Oh?
(laughs)
