i saw another machine like this where it works exactly the same way but you can actually put your own stuff in pouches and let the machine press it out.

You know what I forgot to add in?
It only accepts its own brand of pouches because of this QR scanning bullshit.

I know I'm late to the party (probably 2 weeks late), but this thing infuriates me.
Adam Richardson
Some people made a lot of money. This was likely used to grease so palms through various connections to make other things happen for the investing companies (or certain executives/large shareholders thereof). If you could know where every dollar and deal changed hands of every person, and/or how they're related, it would make more sense.
Cronyism and nepotism run deep. Corruption is ever present, and almost all the elites, both political and financial and holding fame, are guilty of it on so many levels it's absurd.
Brandon Adams
>This thing shouldn't even fucking exist.
I'm sorry, capitalism says anything should exist as long as there is a market for it.
Don't you have some trash cans to knock over?
William Allen
That's deep.
Andrew Bailey
>I'm sorry, capitalism says anything should exist as long as there is a market for it. Not OP but there is no market for it. They're giving everyone who bought one refunds
Jeremiah Gonzalez
I already knocked them over, but I'm too much of a lazy fuck to pick them up.
Noah Garcia
Then the free market has succeeded again. So there is no reason to be upset.
Liam Russell
But why would you need internet to use a freaking juicer? It makes no sense.
Nathan Clark
if you want to know why it exists:
1. facebook gets big 2. people get obsessed with autismo "hackers" in hooded sweatshirts 3. people give money to a bunch of other autismo hoodie wearers to "disrupt" things 4. people catch on to this and now basically every company that has been funded in the last 2 or 3 years is a total scam run by someone whose primary skill is understanding what the memelords at venture capital firms want to hear

It's a €200,- datamining hydraulic press with a QR reader which renders it useless to anything else than those overpriced branded sacks

Brandon Williams
I ranted at it in the last thread and I'm lazy so I'll just copy paste my rant
I tried to explain Juicero to my girlfriend the other day and that's exactly what she said. They have all the processing and infrastructure in place to deliver fresh high quality juice daily or weekly to people who are willing to pay for such a service. WHY HAVE A FUCKING APPLIANCE? They could be making a killing distributing fresh juice as a subscription service. I live in silicon valley. I drink alot of juice. I'd pay good money to have juice delivered. I have discretionary spending money. I spend too much money on juice already why not spend it on convenience. They used to have milk men who delivered milk. I want juicemen in stupid outfits to bring me fresh OJ in the mornings. Fuck juicero. Fuck my life. My sci-fi juice dreams will go unfullfilled. I can't wait for the apocalypse so I can disregard California's restrictive gun laws and start a motorcycle gang to hunt my own juice in the orchards of the central valley.
Christopher Martinez
They could have just packaged the pulp in fancy recyclable bottles with a plunger that squeezes the juice and yuppies would have eaten it up
Nolan Turner
Things like these are a perfect argument for fascism. Yeah, sure, the free market can handle this. Some people get scammed, then no one buys it anymore and the entire thing fades into obscurity. Cool.
You know what is better than that? Finding the people who made this and chucking them out of helicopters. Finding the people who bought this and chucking them out of helicopters.
A fascist government wouldn't allow such an atrocity to exist. A lot of people would get thrown out of helicopters. How many of these people have been thrown out of a helicopter because of capitalism? Zero. Zero people.
Lincoln Bailey
My milkman does deliver fresh orange juice tho.
Brayden Turner
You need to relax. Focus on inner peace, forget the outside world.

If that's true, i'm coming to your house to kill you and wear your skin. Does he wear a silly uniform that makes him easily identifiable as what he is?
Robert Ramirez
A fascist government wouldn't let a lot of things exist.
Ryder Davis
By the way, would you say you're a typical resident of silicon valley? Is skinstealing a normal thing there?
Brody Nguyen
I wouldn't call myself typical. I don't work in tech but everyone in my social circle does. Skin stealing is pretty abnormal but some of the biotech companies in South San Francisco kinda skeeve me out. Cytokinetics, Exelexis, Akayogen, Toshi Bioscience, Genetech, NGM Bio-pharmaceuticals, Amgen, Annexon Biosciences, Principia Biopharma, Stemcentrix. Might as well just call it the umbrella corporation and be done with it. All the lunch spots around there cater to workers who have barley time for lunch because of scrub-down procedures. Good taco truck around there.

*Genentech. Also I spelled Akayogen wrong its Acheogen. I know from a friend they have a bunch of live anthrax cultures there. That explains all the smoked glass and armed guards. Whatever genetic hoodoo those guys are doing in those glass towers is advancing medicine I guess.
Carter Perez
Googles creepy in this neighborhood too. There was the weird unexplained barges with secret construction all over them that came with a weird cover story. There was also the fact they bought Moffit field from the military which begs the question "What does google need a military airfield and zeppelin hangar for?", also those self driving test cars look so fucking derpy. It's weird watching them navigate crappy SF traffic better than real drivers.
Henry Ortiz
Does something like this exist that isn't retarded? Just some kind of premade juicing pouches.
Angel Ross
Yeah you can literally buy juice instead of giving google a backdoor to a crotch shot photo op, since they haven't got cameras on refrigerators ye... Nevermind, they do.
Colton Miller
>I spend too much money on juice already how much money could you possibly spend on juice
Nathaniel Campbell
Not him but where I live (NYC) if you buy good juice as opposed to making it, it's substantially more expensive than the most expensive beers (like imported microbrews from scotland and denmark), and approximately as asspensive as, say, an entry-level wine from a prestigious AOC. Which on a certain level makes sense since juice is juice
I mean you could head out to hunts point or union city or brooklyn, or some terrible place like that, and ask a street walker to squeeze some oranges while you hold your nose, but by the same token you can go buy some dirt and grow your own grapes but honestly who has time for that shit. Specialization of labor happened for a reason, aspie-kun
Adrian Martinez
As someone who enjoys masturbating while I prepare my cups of juice, I appreciate a contraption that removes the hand-squeezing portion.
Henry Peterson
The idea of submitting yourself to an authoritarian government is pure cuckery. Not to mention fascists don't look kindly upon autists or NEETs, making it pretty fucking stupid for you to support them.

Ironic because most liberals I know live like shit crusading for their precious $15 an hour faggotry to flip burgers.

Logan Powell
Most kids dont understand how to budget and thats a large part of why these whiny fags want more money. >waah i cant eat at restaurants all the time >waah why cant i buy nice things all the time >waah why cant i just have things handed to me The only things truly working against them is greedy landlords in some places, and where the cost of living is super high. Thats not everywhere though. If they just live with roommates to share rent and cook their own food thats a huge savings in their budget. I was raised that if you want more money, you do a good job and ask the boss for a raise, not do a shitty job and act like you should have your dick sucked just by showing up to work. Kids now dont have work ethics, they just work fast food jobs and steal from the register and act like the company owes them because they choose to live beyond their means and make themselves constantly poor. This is what happens when people dont parent their children and give asspats and participation trophies.
Nicholas Diaz
This. Maybe the juice product itself is actually decent, but if you go to the VCs and pitch bags of juice, you'll get nothing. If you go to the VCs and pitch a $400 wifi juicer that uses $8 bags of juice, you get $120 million.
Bentley Barnes
Agreed. But credit is due. Have you seen a teardown of this thing? It's a fucking beast from an engineering perspective even though it's worthless as an actual product. It should be a mandatory case study on over engineering a design.
Jeremiah Richardson
I assumed this was done on purpose to mystify investors. Or is it just really an over engineered piece of IoT shit?
Liam Wright

Isaiah Hall
Arrogance at it's best. Blinded by the easy investment income. They genuinely believed their own hype.
Anyone who buys this over a vitamix or other good blender for juicing for health reasons is a Jew kike faggot.
It's way healthier to blend fruits and veg into a smoothie than to fuckin juice them and leave all the fiber behind. Having smoothies can actually help your beneficial gut bacteria thrive and multiply while having the fiberless sugar smash of a fruit smoothie is going to do far less to help and is probabaly a bad idea for most fat Jew led kike nigger fucks
The Jew faggot who made this juicer should be shoahed
Asher Martin
I fucked up this post
I meant to say "fiberless sugar smash of juice"
How come I can't edit posts Iike I can on reddit?
Dominic Ortiz
Because you have to own your mistakes here so you may be publicly humiliated. That will make you think twice before posting.
Gavin Perez
Amazing how such an expensive to build device can be completely bottlenecked by a QR reader that works when it feels like it. Like that's the one thing they cheaped out on.
Mason Jenkins
People prefer the pretense of healthy living habits that come with a juicer to the actual health benefits of making vegetable-based smoothies. And as an owner of 2kW blender, I can see why people are eager to return those to the store, motherfucker sounds like a jet plane taking off. And I can't use it in the mornings because it'd wake up the whole floor.
Kayden Ross
>A USELESS PRODUCT WAS MARKETED TO A PROFITABLE DEMOGRAPHIC BY A CORPORATION
What an outrage, eh? Honestly though, user, why are you so upset? It's not like you were duped into buying it, and the folks who did are likely so divorced from your cohort that you'd never hear of the thing without the online exposure it's gotten. A fool and their money are soon parted, and this machine was designed to go after a certain kind of mark. More specifically, fairly high-income people who want to get (or stay) healthy and are willing to throw cash at something pretty in service of that goal.
These people would throw their money down a particularly attractive wishing well if they were convinced it would make them look and feel better without a real lifestyle change, and if Google wanted in on that, why shouldn't they invest? At the end of the day, it was just a little too much of a reach to sell, but corporations pull more sinister shit than this all the time and against much more vulnerable communities.
Next time you wanna be outraged by a kitchen product think about infomercial-trash that gets sold to the poor and elderly for $20-$40 then breaks in a month rather than a $400 sack squeezer that a 45 year-old nurse anesthetist buys so she can feel healthy while she drives her kids to school in a G-Wagon
Mason Miller
I think it's a piece of plastic that squeezes the juice out of a juice box for you, while having a camera and microphone to watch and record you.
I mean what the fuck are you talking about "people who want to get healthy?" It literally squeezes the fucking premade juice out of a bag into a cup. You have got to be joking.
Jack Smith
What if you found a way to spoof the QR codes and put one on your penis Then the machine could squeeze your dick while you have two hands free to juice
Jonathan Lopez
You have to have a QR code to even access the juice? What the fuck is going on here? Why does this sound so terrible?
Logan Watson
>I mean what the fuck are you talking about "people who want to get healthy?" >It literally squeezes the fucking premade juice out of a bag into a cup. You have got to be joking.
That's obvious, try to understand the context of the buyer's lifestyle. They don't really know that much about health, but they have an understanding of the aesthetics of health, which have been pushed on them by corporations and products which advocate buying 6 dollar bottles of green stuff rather than consuming vegetables. For these people, owning a juicer is the next logical step in increasing the healthiness of their lifestyle. However, given that these people have no understanding of what actually makes juice healthy or why they should be drinking it beyond "getting their five servings per day", they aren't going to simply blend vegetables together. In this context, it's pretty obvious that they'll purchase the most convenient, aesthetically pleasing solution available to them. This is the purpose of the Juicero. It's not supposed to actually help anybody, it's meant to provide a convenient option for people out of the know to have something that they can feel good about.
Also, I don't know about the spying capabilities of this squeezy machine, but that's another concern that these buyers wouldn't bother themselves with.
Caleb King
Yes, it only works with their juice packs. It scans the QR code on the pack to make sure it's genuine. Each pack has a unique code that can't be used again. This is why it requires an internet connection with the app you're required to use.
Gabriel Cook
You mean like California right?
Inb4 our bread requires a username and password to access.
Nathan Martinez
>You mean like California right?
Pretty much, but they come in all shapes and sizes. Really any place with just enough sense to know that they should be eating some fruit and vegetables but not quite enough to know why.
Zachary Hughes
>150 million dollars from Google >"I don't know about the spying capabilities of this machine"
Well a piece of plastic certainly doesn't cost $400, but one with a motion sensor, two HD cameras, a microphone, wifi and Bluetooth connectivity certainly does.
Bentley Flores
Oh, I'm not denying that they could exist, my justifiably paranoid friend, I'm only saying that I literally don't know about it. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
Aiden Cooper
>Ensures you have a genuine juiceroo organic pouch >Validates the expiration date has not passed >Adjusts the pressure based on the juice pack to optimize pressure for the specific ingredients
That's their pitch on the QR code. They basically looked at kcups and said we can do that for juice but even better. Remember that Keurig tried to DRM their machines but they pissed off their customers who had come to expect to be able to use any kcup. Printers and razors do the same thing in different ways.
Benjamin Bennett
I don't know about it either but the government and Google are attempting to get into our homes at an alarming rate to monitor the absolutely nothing we do. I don't fucking get it. Tape the cameras, block the microphones and shoot at drones.
Henry Martin
>anecdotal evidence kys faggot
Jack Barnes
They're marketing it as the most convenient and reliable way to have quality juice at home and the internet of things is still profitable so

Genentech used to be a pretty laid-back and cool start-up type environment until Rosch took it over, wouldn't lump them in with the rest.
From the commercial it looked like some old tech guru hired some fresh out of college kids to design and make a product and then attracted some investors It's obviously a stupid concept but there are a lot of novel and stupid products on the market Just watch Shark Tank to see them
Zachary Brown
Just eat the fruits and vegetables If you're really need >first sipp of the day, just make a smoothie. Tastes better, you can make it in seconds (as compared to the hilarious 1+ minutes it takes to press fresh juice) and keeps all the fiber in to stop you from shitting your hip, handmade, curated, one-of-a-kind soy-ink polka-dot city boy diaper.
