I must apologise as I haven't captured it...hope someone else has, but I was watching mouth agape and couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
17 piece blender set - Now I know it's cr*p through experience, so when Mark started loading the ingredients for hummous into the jug, I thought "YESS! this should be funny, you see even a bona fide magic bullet struggles with this one, you can make decent hummous but it's certainly not a ten second job, as for a cheapo imitation like this - I wouldn't even bother trying! Undettered he said in a few seconds we'll have delicious hummous! He turned the machine on, and it started to blend, but in a matter of seconds it started making this whirring sound whilst the ingredients stayed put.
He left it running whilst talking, trying to ignore the fact this thing wasn't actually doing what it was meant to - I was thinking, Mark, if you don't turn the damn thing off any second it'll start to smoke!! He switched it off (obvs he could smell burning), then suddenly another screen came on with bid's phone number etc, you could still hear mark telling us how to buy it, but you could also hear a lot of hubbub in the background, sounded like someone frantically trying to blend the contents of the blender with a spoon! Eventually they returned and as if by magic the hummous was a bit more blended, still not perfect, you could still see lumps and a thick layer of oil sitting on top. We'll return to that in a bit he said..let's make a smoothie! Now if it can't do that, then there's no hope. He threw strawberries etc in and sure enough it appeared to blend pretty well, he gave it the 10 or 20 seconds required and proudly poured it into a glass, conveniently not noticing the huge lumps of fruit that were still there, and when he sipped it, it was clear that he'd taken in a great big unblended lump.
Back to the hummous, I'll just give it one more blend for luck (ie to trick the viewer into thinking that this hummous was blended in this machine) It made that awful whirring sound, so he quickly removed it from the base and started to pour it out, first out came a trickle of liquid, the hummous looked ok, but there was still a load of olive oil sat on the top.
For some reason they slapped on a VT of Mark demo'ing a different blender (he said it was the same- it wasn't) and obviously this had been properly produced and edited so it looked like a half decent product - Really funny, but actually really naughty of them. I doubt they'll ever live demo that pile of sh*t again lol!
