Good stuff. Lots of behind the scenes antics of the former CEO. Takes digs at some of their hilarious bullshit claims about how they've perfectly encapsulated only the best and most perfect juice.


Like this nugget about inferior juicing techniques:

Juicero Blog posted:

Benefit #1: You get the good stuff
And by good stuff we mean vitamins that can get lost or destroyed by commercial juicing methods. If your juice is pasteurized, that process brings all the ingredients to a very high temperature for a short time, it then gets immediately cooled down, and along the way certain additives are applied to these ingredients to ensure harmful bacteria does not form during packaging. Unfortunately, that means that any beneficial bacteria also gets zapped out of your juice at the same time.
The same drawbacks exist with traditional centrifugal or rotary juicers. The process of centrifuging heats up fruits and vegetables and promotes oxidation, and this can cause heavy casualties to beneficial bacteria and vitamins.

Lol, how could you not quote this nugget:

quote:

And what Evans wants, allegedly, can range from impractical to humiliating. Several employees related an anecdote in which flies had begun cropping up in the company’s San Francisco office. Evans—a vegan who at one point only allowed his employees to expense vegan meals on business trips—refused to implement a solution that would kill them. “I had to interview companies and ask if they had a catch-and-release program,” an employee recounted. “I went through links to help him understand that even that is not humane. It’s actually more stressful on the pests for you to catch them and relocate them.” Gizmodo could not confirm how or if the issue was resolved, and Juicero declined to make Evans available for an interview.

Don't birds and squirrels gently caress that poo poo up? I had a squirrel eat all the peaches off my peach tree; what he didn't eat, he knocked off anyway and poo poo on it. I think he's trying to send a message.

We lose some to squirrels yeah, but not that much. It's a rural area with all kinds of predatory birds so the squirrels tend a keep a much lower profile than their more brazen city cousins. You hear them rustling around in the woods at the edge of the property more than you actually see them.

Deer are much worse. But there's several different things you can do to ward them off. Fences don't help a ton since deer can jump high as gently caress but it's worth having. There's things like a couple aluminum foil pie tins and stuff that'll make noises to startle them when a breeze comes, and motion-activated sprinklers are a good one.

In the end the wildlife get their share of it but we've never gotten wiped out.

Can we really call this thing a juicer? The word "Juicer" means it shreds/mulches/whatevers the raw materials till you can make a drinkable liquid out of it. This thing just squeezes stuff that is already juice out of a bag. It's kind of an insult to actual juicers.

I don't know. I think if you're a dominatrix then, once again, just squeezing will be more effective than using this machine.

These dumb juice packs cost $8 a piece. Generously subtract $1 for production, shipping and handling costs from that and you have $7*365=$2555 pure profit per year.

Fleecing idiots with too much money is a gold mine. That's why they got $120M in VC for that poo poo in the first place

e: the most important part of this scheme is that it shouldn't be possible to buy these juice packs off brand for $1 a piece at the store and also no way to reduce the consumption, which is where the DRM and subscription comes in. If you already got the juice in the fridge, if you already paid for it, you are probably gonna use it anyway.
