What is BIG?
It's the puzzle that's been on everyone's mind at
one time or another: How do you make a 700-gallon smoothie? Answer:
With a 16-foot blender, of course.
Which leads to the question, um, where can you find
a 16-foot blender?
Enter BIG!, a 16-part series in which host Frank
Payne challenges his team of craftsmen, fabricators, builders, designers
and artists to think big and to build even bigger each week. Whether
it's a 22-foot-tall popcorn popper or a 32-foot-long
electric guitar, everyday objects appear in a whole new dimension
every Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT, starting June 1.
So, why make a giant blender? Because the BIG! team
can, of course ... with the help of 20 car batteries strung together.
And Frank isn't just standing around whistling "Dixie" as
Wink, Lisa, Eric and Reverend Gadget battle their monumental challenge
— he's out in search of just the right tools to put his colossal
creation to the test, such as a cherry picker and 1,200 pounds of
bananas, 1,000 pounds of strawberries, 152 gallons of yogurt, 40 25-pound
blocks of ice and 2 gallons of grenadine, in the blender case.
What will these guys think of next? Stay tuned and
find out.
