Yes, it blends! Yay! You rock Tom Dickson! I can't even list the things I would try putting in that blender. The blender used on the show is called a Total Blender and it is only an entry level blender which goes for $399.95. But then check out the Tom Dickson Extreme Blender which goes for $999.95. If we were to get our hands on that blender, I am pretty sure all hell would break loose. I can see us throwing all of our personal belongings into the blender. I've blended before. It's addicting. You just want to keep blending until the machine blows up. I'm pretty sure I can never run out of things to blend.
