now that I think about it, this is literally something that could taken place in the show silicon valley lol
*steals the idea and starts designing the commercial*I want a $400 internet connected machine that removes frozen juice from a can and adds three parts water.
I went to Parsons for product design and the school was absolutely rife with this type of thinking and many professors were happy to reinforce it. Don't solve problems, make news ones you can sell people sexy solutions too. I remember turning blue in the face trying to explain how a classmates entire product concept was flawed because it defied the laws of physics, but all they could talk about was how it looked like it could be in an Apple store. Industrial design is awesome, but there are some really toxic trends and this juicer is a perfect manifestation of it. I take a tremendous amount of delight at seeing this blow up in their face and hopefully a bunch of VC wankers losing their money. Also, juicing in general is a waste imo. Fruits and vegetables are amazing, just eat the whole damn thing.
Next up a microwave with DRM, only pre approver ready meal blocks can be cooked.
They can rebrand the incident as a 'real life hack'.

I feel they'd do better with Goujon John as a spokesman

Do you like Juice? Would you like Juice? I'm going to bring Juice to you RIGHT NOW, WHEVER YOU ARE. I'm GOING TO RAM JUICE INTO YOUR FACE
Why not just eat fruit?
Honestly? It seems kinda cool to me. Some interesting ideas here.
If it were $100 for the unit and $2.50 per pouch, there would be a solid market for this, I think.
I don't know how to connect a piece of fruit to the internet.
You made me spit out my coffee. You owe me a new keyboard.
The inside of the pack just looks like mulched fruit. I don't see why they insist on four tonnes of pressure for that.
This is escalating. Now people are using scissor hacks on the bags?! Pure madness!They are offering refunds and begging people to not squeeze the bags.
You can't make this up if you tried.

Someone opening one of the bag.

Probably.Given the Bloomberg reporter was able to get all but half an ounce of the juice out of the bag by hand squeezing vs. the juicer, I don't think it actually applies that much pressure. That's why the contents are so mulched up.

Honestly, there are enough people on GAF who talk like this that my satire detector is going haywire.Am I allowed to monetize my Juicero twitch stream and youtube videos or do I have to join the "Juicero creators program" and kick them 75% of my rev in order to obtain a license to broadcast with their IP?
Bagged juice? It's this like bagged liquor?
But juice boxes aren't the same thing as this. Not even remotely.Or you just buy a pack of juice boxes for a fraction of the cost
Yep that's probably why it only has a week shelf life.its bagged pre crushed wet fruit that needs to be squeezed a bit to get the juice out
There's a good reason why juicers are so loud and big since they have to deal with raw unprocessed fruit and not glorified applesauce
You could prob. put those carrots in a bottle, shake them vigourously for a minute and pour it thru a coffee filter to get juice
wouldn't be surprised if they dont last long since they're pre crushed and a quarter juiced already vs whole non leaking fruit

He claimed the "hacking" of the pouches did not produce the same quality of juice. saying the machine was calibrated to deal with different ingredients differently.
Then buy a bottle of fresh squeezed juice for a fraction of the cost
Reroute the interwebs to a fake timeserver in order to get juice even though the bag is past its expiration date. LIFE HACKED!it's amazing that the bagged juice has an 8 day expiration date and the machine locks you out.
Bagged juice should last longer.

but..my suggestion was that these would be $2.50.
$2.50/glass for legit freshly squeezed juice drinks is quite competitive. Less than say...Jamba Juice while being similarly "fresh squeezed".
Yea you'd have to buy the machine, but that's why I suggested $100. Maybe a bit more.
So what I'm suggesting is that at a $100 pricepoint you pay a little more up front, but if you're a juice-head or Jamba Juice regular and use the thing regularly instead, maybe you can get the Jamba Juice experience for half the daily cost or less.
I think there is a market for that. You don't have to agree. There is probably not, however, a market for a $600 juicier that taxes $6-$10 per cup.

Sounds like you could use a $100 juicer then.
One of my friends has one, and it's just hilarious how poorly implied the DRM is.
He came home from a very late dinner just before midnight, and decided to use the last bag remaining before it expired. He put the bag in the machine just as midnight hit and poof, it wouldn't let him use it because it was 1 minute past expiration. Of course as you know, much like other food items, once midnight hits in your time zone, mold and disease just explodes all over the food like a forest in Mononoke.
