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.
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.

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.

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.

Because, I can afford it.

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:
