which a blender doesn't exactly guarantee so you can't use it for "mass" destruction as you'll have to inspect the results and possibly re-blend it until you've ensured sub-half-inch pieces.
Blending (specifically in a dedicated blender jar, not one you ever use for food) is the best way to destroy SD cards I've found, and apparently a major fruit company has done this in the past.
It's also a solid excuse to buy a blendtec 800 with sound enclosure for the office -- way quieter than any shredder. And good for making drinks.
