I hope that I am like most people in saying that I enjoy playing with the paper shredder at work. Sometimes, when I’ve printed out something that I don’t need anymore, I COULD just put it in the recycling bin. But no, it definitely has to go through the paper shredder. I look at it as my way to help make the recycling process easier by already breaking down the paper into more manageable slivers.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, I present a series of videos about different machinery that can crush and pulverize everyday objects.<\/p>\n

Blendtec Blenders<\/strong> – “Will It Blend?<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Blendtec has been running a series of YouTube videos<\/a> for a few years now showing how great their blenders are by blending up everyday items like marbles, baseballs, golf balls, and crowbars. I think this is a fantastic marketing ploy because when it comes to blenders, how many of you can name a specific brand of blender? I can only think of Blendtec. Here are two of my favorites.<\/p>\n

SSI Shredders<\/strong> – “Watch it Shred!<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, SSI Shredders has come up with their own series of videos<\/a> to demonstrate the capabilities of their industrial-sided shredding machines.<\/p>\n

Bowling Balls<\/em><\/p>\n

St. Thomas Creations<\/strong> – “Quattro Flushing Technology<\/a>”<\/p>\n

St. Thomas Creations, a company that makes bathroom fixtures, has produced a video of their own showing how much their toilets can handle including three pounds of gummi bears and 20 golf balls. They’ve got the video on their site<\/a>, but it looks like one of their distributors stuck the video up on YouTube.<\/p>\n
