Attach a flask and this is sure to be a hit with a certain demographic I won't mention... let's just say it rhymes with "trostitutes"

@lpranal: Enlighen me as to your regional dialect...

Given the city of my birth I first thought "Troost-itutes", I'll award you one Epic Win for guessing that one, and alternatively explain it after you explain yours...

Just sign at the bottom and initial, here, here, here, and a drop of blood here...

@ppeetteeyy: careful.. if you roll too fat of a joint, it looks like it won't fit in the part that lights it. pipes, bongs, etc. would be right out as well.

if it produced a flame however, then i could see this catching on for ganja. subtle smoke session in one handy device...

"Nunchuck Lighter-Flashlight Combo Won't Leave You Left 4 Dead"

Try brandishing this at a stranger in a dark alley.

Does waking up hours later after being beaten unconscious only to find your pants around your ankles and said nunchucks buried halfway into your ass count as not being left for dead?

@Jrsy Devil's Food Cake®: It all depends. If its the lighter half thats lodged in there, open, and you get gassy, yeah, you're left for dead.

If it's the flash light half, and the flash light is strong enough, you're just left highly uncomfortable with a glowing butt. The same kind of feeling you get when someone hooks up a speaker in a fleshlight that makes a really loud sound when you put it in before moving out of your parent's place.

Well, not exactly, you still want to shit your pants after both incidents, but you can comfortably sit down after a fleshlight horn.

Sounds like you've had some personal experience in that area...

You can't film in slo-mo, you can only film in real time. You can present in slo-mo.

Just sayin'.

@Dave Bunting:
Presenting slo-mo footage that doesn't look like you're watching a stack of flip-cards requires a high-speed camera which is specifically designed to film footage that will look slo-mo when run at a normal FPS. Therefore, you _can_ film in slo-mo. Sort of.

I'm having some trouble understanding how the fuel got under the blender in the first place. The lighter(s) are in the blender, covered with a lid (which doesn't even blow off, as I would have expected, once the fireball reached the level of the lid). Those lids seal pretty well, as does the base assembly. So how does the fuel get to the level of the motor?

I'm suspicious of something added to make the video more dramatic. Like some fuel gas blown into the base, maybe?

@PeterSimpson: I agree. I can understand that the blender motor cools by taking air from under the base and funneling it past the motor and out the base. The only way this would not be Bravo Sierra is that butane is more dense than air. So if they blended it with the little cover on the lid off or replaced with a mesh screen, as it blended, the butane would fill the jug, and flow over the sides, and then get sucked into the motor. It would then get a spark from the motor spinning, and might result in what we see.

This ranks right up there with trying to kill the ants in your vacuum cleaner with natural gas.

This looks more like 100 lighters and a few bottles of lighter fluid.

I've experienced often enough what happens when a lighter breaks or melts (in a fire). And the "explosion" is much smaller and gone within a fraction of a second.

@Knirfie:

yeah but a regular lighter 'explosion' is just the release of the pressurized propane - even if you shoot a lighter, it tends to just release the gas, no ignite.

I modify my lighters in a way that allows me to put a thick wire loop on them, so they hang with my keys, and every time i'm filing the requisite grooves into the side i always think, i should probably be wearing safety goggles.

Mostly stuff that's too big to fit in the blender, or made of material that's harder than the blender blades. Like a depleted-uranium-clad tank.
