WTF: Do you need a 400$ juicer?

Silicon Valley’s $400 Juicer May Be Feeling the Squeeze - Bloomberg[^]:
Google’s venture capital arm and other backers poured about $120 million into the startup. Juicero sells the machine for $400, plus the cost of individual juice packs delivered weekly. Tech blogs have dubbed it a “Keurig for juice.” 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.
But it matches my ipad recipe book so well! :sigh:

Kewl! It's on sale for £55, with a saving of £34.99! Since I'm in NL, could you buy one for me? You'll save £34.99, so I'll give you the difference of £20.01! Cheers!

Only if you first loan me £1000, and only give me £500...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Seems like a dud to me :laugh:
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Here we have this[^], which is more or less a blender that can cook, and is sold between €800 and €1200 depending on the "accessories". No advertisement, same sales principle as tupperware, with meeting organization and gifts, and etc... Roughly estimated, 50% of the households in Germany have one. :wtf: On the same idea, lots of people have a true coffee machine at home, we are again talking about €900 to €2000. So I have no worries the €400 will sell. If you see how much money people are putting in Nespresso each year, this is even a bargain.
That thing is costly but helps a lot in kitchen, if someone likes to cook elaborate / has to cook a lot of elaborate foods daily. It's expensive but it may be worth it - my GF (the official house cook) prefers cheap basic instruments, but she has the skills to make up for them.

While I would not buy this product, there are others that might. I like my coffee - drip or percolated is fine by me. Does it meets other's 'standards'? Probably not, but, I'm the one drinking it, not them. Similarly, I heat my house largely with wood in a wood burning insert. I cut the wood myself and split by hand; I could borrow a hydraulic wood splitter, but I like the exercise. So.. to each his own.

I was :omg: It's not a juicer--it's a delivery appliance for pre-processed food. Doesn't that erase the entire point of taking "fresh" fruits and vegetables and mashing them together? (The juice bar my oldest likes just uses blenders.)

They were better before Hershey bought out Leaf, but they're still pretty good despite now being made from Hershey's mediocre chocolate.

People want those because they want to be fat and constipated for some reason.

Thanks for reminding me. I have some wood to split this weekend. I look forward to the exercise.

Democracy is a nice idea but fundamentally flawed really.. As a country Britain seemed a lot stronger, safer and more influential in the world when we had less of it :laugh:
