Yup, just look up some of the crazy (and dangerous) inventions from when X-Rays were trendy.

This happens with every technology that captures the public mind.

Don't knock this product, it works. You can't have "gout problems" or be "anemic" if you're dead.

I saw one of these today and the guy who's office it was in swears it was a gift.

Here's just another trick: the juice packs come in the mail. This guy swore those were part of the gift. Now, the packs are only good for seven days. They have a bar code on them, and after the seven days, the machine will not juice them!

If any of you guys are in the financial services industry, do not have something like this in your office if you want to be taken seriously.

Aloha!

It is funny and equally terrifying for a company when people who own that stuff instantly swear that they did not buy it themselves and that it was a gift.

"I would not buy something as stupid as that - I got it for free! Believe me! You do believe me don't you?"

Somewhat off topic, but does anyone have recommendations for an affordable, quality juicer?

Ya, it's called your mouth, stomach and small intestine. It works way better than some machine that sucks a sugar bomb out of fruits for you to drink while you throw away the rest of the stuff your body is expecting with the sugar.

Omega 2005. I've been using my mine 3 time a week for the last 3 years. Never had a problem. It's only $250 on amazon.

And if anyone's interested, Juicero is actually looking to hire a copywriter to write advertisements for them.

I don't know if I could sleep at night screwing people over so badly but may one of you guys can. But on the other-hand, they've probably got a lot of money to burn selling $500 juicers....

As faggy as this thing is I bet they are selling a bunch

Quote:The maker of a much ridiculed $400 juicer is apparently partying away at the 'Burning Man' festival in Nevada as his business said it was preparing to lay off employees and shutter its doors for good.

A spokesperson for Juicero said in a statement Friday that the company will be 'suspending the sale of the Juicero Press and Produce Packs immediately' and offering customers a full refund, according to online publication Eater.

The product, which can be controlled remotely through wifi, was originally priced at $700.
Founder of the Silicon Valley start-up Doug Evans, meanwhile, was pictured at Black Rock Desert partying it up at the Burning Man art and music festival in Nevada, which is scheduled to run until September 4.

In an Instagram message, Evans posted a picture of an unidentified man holding a flame propelled instrument, with the caption 'Fire breathing bike dragon' written to the side.

In another message, Evans posted a picture of a man 'disappearing into a windstorm,' due to to heavy sand gusts that covered the festival in dust earlier this week.

Bay area venture capitalist invested over $120 million into the idea, hailing the machine as the 'Keurig for juice.'

But the product came under scrutiny earlier this year when consumers discovered they could simply use their hands to squeeze juice out of a bag instead of putting it through the $399 Juicero machine.

The Juicero is a machine that squeezes packets of pre-cut produce to make healthy juices.

The packets range in price from $5 to $8 and can't be purchased unless customers already own a Juicero machine, which costs $399.

But a test by Bloomberg showed that squeezing the packets by hand was nearly just as effective - and actually faster - than using the machine.

Reporters were able to wring out 7.5 ounces of juice from the packets in a minute and a half while the machine squeezed out 8 ounces in two minutes.

Soon after Bloomberg published its findings, the company became a social media punch line, being ridiculed for its extravagant pricing.

In a last ditch effort to save the company earlier this year, Juicero executives vowed to make a cheaper version of the product, saying that the price for the machine and packets were 'not realistic,' according to Fortune Magazine.

The company subsequently fired 25 per cent of their sales and marketing team in July.

The company also said in the statement that they wanted 'to express the deepest gratitude to our employees who have poured their hearts and souls into developing, launching and growing Juicero over the past 3 years.'

The end of the embarrassing story.

The good thing is that he made millions in those 3 years anyway.
