The steve jobs of juicer technology

But after the product hit the market, some investors were surprised to discover a much cheaper alternative: You can squeeze the Juicero bags with your bare hands. Two backers said the final device was bulkier than what was originally pitched and that they were puzzled to find that customers could achieve similar results without it. Bloomberg performed its own press test, pitting a Juicero machine against a reporter’s grip. The experiment found that squeezing the bag yields nearly the same amount of juice just as quickly—and in some cases, faster—than using the device.

The juice packs cost $5 - $8 and yield 8oz. juice. (only 7.5 oz. if you use your hands)

Forget about the machine, what dumbass pays $8 for a plastic bag of juice?

The same people who spend over a buck for one hit of Nuspresso in a cartridge.

Kleiner, Perkins & Doolittle was an investor, kind of surprising they'd fall for the pitch. Unnecessary juice squeezer market must be bigger than we think.

And Elizabeth Holmes still isn't in jail.

Its really amazing to me that this guy was able to con $120mm out of supposedly sophisticated investors instead of having to resort to kickstarter and scam individuals a few hundy at a time.

Apparently, the same kind of self-important twat who eats a mostly raw, vegan diet. He must really enjoy his own farts.

Well Juicero is a pretty cool name.

[wyeaster]

That was partly my point. Those kooks sure as hell aren't eating anything that touched plastic.

I was thinking that we'll all find out that this is an elaborate ruse fostered upon us by the writers of Silicon Valley to promote the new season.

Juicero will lose the next round of VC funding when people see that vertically shot company video. That's fucking inexcusable.
