while this MAY be of questionable scientific value, it certainly seems like a great way to witness/discuss some interesting phenomena. But also it is just AMAZINGLY cool, that this blender company has the courage to follow through with this sort of a campaign. To me this shows an authentic passion for the product that (were I looking for a blender) would really pull a lot of weight.

The "coke float" is astonishing. I think the POWER of this tool, and the dangerous curiosity are why I posted this on my Science blog

Thoughts: When I say Science needs more Magic, I am not referring to Science: the process of using the scientific method I am really referring to Science: the act of looking under the hood, and questioning everything. To that end, a well timed hoax, is a very valuable tool in the advancement of science (see piltdown man)
