Mixing It Up


It all sounds less like an ad than like a skit — the old Dan Aykroyd “Bass-O-Matic” bit on “Saturday Night Live” crossed with the recurring “Will It Float?” segment on “Late Show With David Letterman.” Then again, Dickson will, with deadpan delivery, touch on a product attribute here and there. And reducing 50 marbles to dust does suggest that the device sure is powerful, in a 1970s infomercial sort of way.

Rare example of earning attention (and infamy) in a way that actually carries a brand/product message rather than just shocks/surprises/entertains. If nothing else, people are going to remember that this is one mean blender.
