I think this page should be moved to Blender (disambiguation) and the Blender (device) page should take its place as most people who search for blender will be looking for the device. Yonatan ^talk 17:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other countries discovered outside the US shock!

"When television made its debut in 1949..." It made its debut in the 1930s in the UK.

"This commercial, which ran for several years in many markets, made the blender a household word." Nope, we used to call them liquidisers, they've only been known as blenders more recently.

"A filmed version of this early infomercial holds a special place in the Direct Marketing Association archives." There is I think a UK DMA, but I rather doubt the advert has any special place there.

And "Infomercial" may currently be too slangy a word to use in an encyclopaedia.

You're still reeling from the shock of finding out that the US is not the only country on earth, aren't you? 80.0.110.97 (talk) 23:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
