2 hours ago, I didn't know a $400 (price dropped from $700) dollar, wifi enabled juicer existed that Google invested $120 million into.

The one product on Earth dumber than manrompers.

Is it simply squeezing bags of juice?

That's it.

That's it.

and it only squeezes proprietary bags, not actual fresh fruits and vegetables which makes this an exercise in pointlessness.

I have been "juicing" (using a conventional machine) for a year now. Kale, limes, grapes, apples, oranges, carrots, and ginger root, in different combinations.  At almost 60, and after having had a terrible bout with bronchitis and asthma, my blood oxygenation has improved dramatically, my cholesterol is under 150, and I have more energy than I have in years.  The asthma remains but is far diminished. I also lost 25 lbs and have kept it off. I think it works.

From my Satsuma and Grapefruit trees I put away lots of juice with my $30 juicer.

but wouldn't you use fresh fruits and veggies and not some sealed bag that might have sat in a warehouse for months

This is a crazy thought, but theoretically couldn't you clip off one of the corners of that bag with scissors and pour the juice into the glass? Then, instead of waiting 5 minutes for the Juicer to do its thing, it would take about 30 seconds.


Scissors = $15
Juicero   = $700


$125 million for this thing. That's amazing.
