Now is the time of year when pomegranates are at their sweetest and juiciest. This video celebrates the season in one of our favorite ways: by tossing a pomegranate into our Vitamix blender and filming the vegetarian carnage in ultra-slow motion with the Phantom supercamera.
Before you cringe, rest assured: the fruit sacrificed here was a terrible runty juiceless specimen.

Try blending one of those Blendtec blenders in your blender and record it in slow motion.
that was week... lets see a banana or a steak or a hotdog or a couple layers of different colored jello, or a cell phone. (but no live animals) unless you want to.
The ice video was fun and I did enjoy it,
but this was just a let down. It's like watch Star Wars twice and learning twice that Lukes father is Darth Vader. Sure, it was a surprise the first time, but where is the excitement the second time.
Though, I am sure vitamix makes great blenders
and the camera is still cool.

@ winterulz.....don't be an idiot. i'd rather see your hand being forced in there while your screaming and crying like a baby before even thinking of someone putting a live animal in there. retard.
@drinny26
I second the notion !
drinny26,
Using the word retard is simuliar to using the N. word or other hate words. I do appreciate a good opinion and so you should express yours, but please do not ruin reading the words of expressed opinion with hate words. Thanks.

Come on you guys it was just a joke, no need for all the negativity, I apologize if you have never laughed at anything’s misfortune before….. Besides maybe the animal has it coming. who are you to decide?
