So, it's not just a pouch filled with pre-pressed juice? Or is it a scam where he uses actual chopped up stuff for the media but the shipped product is like a capri sun?

It angers me that so much time, money, engineering and labour went into such a dumb, wasteful product. It's the Silicon Valley mentality of "could we?" instead of "should we?"

120 million loving dollars. gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress

it's not pre-pressed. it's just very, very easy to squeeze juice out of a fruit with your bare hands and people have been doing that since forever. it's even easier if you chop the fruit up into tiny pieces before squeezing.

the cool thing about the collapse of the western roman empire is that it was such a complex and poly-causal process that you can blame everything and everyone for it and be right. like immigrants, decadence, christianity, the climate, taxes, juicers, etc.

that's kinda cool, but you can build this yourself with a cheap arduino knockoff, a cardboard box and some minor homedepot/radioshack crap for $59.99

millennials are too lazy to take care of a plant and too lazy to build an automated growbox that would take care of the plant. is there anything in existence that millenials are not too lazy for?

OMG. The only thing the "Juicero Platform" does is decide if it will let their $400 machine press out a bag of juice that they sold you and they are reserving the right to charge you for that too.

in 100000 years some ape archeologist will find the remains of one of these retarded juicers in the nuked out ruins of san fransisco and it will start an entire debate on what the hell it was used for. someone will propose that it was NOT a religious or decorative item because it had a wifi antenna and some kind of optical scanner and he will come up with the crackpot idea that it was used for making juice. he will be ridiculed by ape academia for this and it will probably end his ape career and for the rest of this life he will have to moderate the alien astronaut show on ape history channel.

He had pancreatic cancer which generally means you are completely hosed but he managed to get an extremely rare form that has a really good prognosis. Like almost every person with pancreatic cancer would murder someone and drink the blood of freshly juiced puppies to have his cancer and he decided, nah, I'm good, I'm going to try natural cures and poo poo. By the time he realized the juice and stuff wasn't going to work and he needed actual medical care it was too late, the cancer had metastasized to his liver and he was hosed.

Seems like tech bros and fruit have a long and tragic history together

Electric kettles are like the most common appliance in a European kitchen and they only cost something like 15$. They are probably not that common in the US due to your hillbilly 110V electrical grid.

Smoothie guy, it's more or less the same. But you still need to use your jaw muscles from time to time, so that they don't atrophy. Same goes for your teeth. Apparently the roots can weaken, if you don't use them.

The Soylent Green community recommend chewing on your pillow once or twice per day to stay healthy.

so idk dick about engineering but from that Canadian guy's video these juicers cost $1000+ to make and they had so much faith in their subscription model they were selling them for $400? lol

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.
