there are any number of ways they could make the packages last without adding preservatives (pasteurization, irradiation, etc) but every one of them would be abhorrent to the target market because they're big stupid morons

also what happens if you take like a ziploc bag and fill it up with fruit and cut a hole in the corner and stick that in the machine? what does FOUR TONS OF FORCE do to real fruit?

hey so btw i read that article about the juicer and at the end it has this bit

quote:

Kippy Williams, owner of Kippy’s Organic Non-Dairy Ice Cream Shop in Los Angeles and Toyko, said she purchased her Juicero late last year for $1,200. (Juicero charges businesses a premium, she said.) Williams, a self-proclaimed health-food evangelist, said she’d like to see the company sell packs by themselves to people who can’t afford the device. “It would be great if they offered people the opportunity to buy the packs and press them by hand,” she said. “I want juice for every man, woman and child.”

and that just seemed too loving on-the-nose to be real. like the name of that place and the statement the person gives could be straight out of The Onion. so i looked up Kippy's Non Dairy Organic Ice Cream and yeah, it's real.

on the website she says this

quote:

Kippy's! Ice Cream is a raw organic non-dairy coconut based ice cream sweetened with raw local honey. Our ice creams are made by hand in-house daily, from fresh raw coconut cream. Over 1,000 coconuts are cracked a week to make our exclusive Wild Harvested 1st Cold Pressed Coconut Cream.

since the pouches contain finely chopped fruit and veg the four tons just makes them into a paste. This is also why you can do it with your hands as the fruit and veg are basically a smoothie in a bag.

- mob front/money laundering
- bored wife of rich husband

heh this gets a pass from me from a mmj point of view

assuming you're an actual mmj patient without previous experience or with a functional limitation
- presenting a more sanitized image (as a medical device) helps with acceptance
- ease of dosing & no need to grind weed yourself
- they say they'll support self-fill pods right out the gate

it's a bit cheesy, but i see the value as a medical appliance

I've been juicing for a few weeks now because my parents gave me juicer and here is a price breakdown

I haven't branched out much and I make the same mix all the time
1 bunch of kale 2.50
~8 carrots $1
3 apples $1

That makes about 32oz of juice for ~4.50 CAD, a comparable juiceo pack is $6 USD for 8oz

Cost of 32oz of juice
homemade 3.33 USD
Juicero $18 USD

Also you can buy ready to drink pressed juice for the same price as unpressed juicero with less garbage and the same shelf life.

shit wizard dad

juicing: bought a Philips HR1867/21 unit in last years Amazon sales, and it does me just fine. Once you have the trick of it you can have it cleaned in like 3 minutes and the pulp empties straight into the garden compost bin.

juicer is suing a rival company that's basically the same concept except you can chop plants and fill the bag yourself.

quote:

Juicero claims that Juisir, developed by Chinese company iTaste and marketed and imported with the help of Australian company Froothie, infringes on a patent Juicero was granted in November 2016. Juicero said in its April 6 complaint that Juisir also violates the Silicon Valley company’s trade dress and trademark rights.

Juisir launched a Kickstarter earlier this year with pre-orders still underway. The company claims that its product will provide 8 tons of force to press juice from fruits and vegetables that a Juisir owner chops themselves and places in either a single-use or a re-usable bag that the plant matter gets pressed in.

Remember when anyone and everyone with "pod" in their name got the gently caress sued out of them by Apple? Profit Pod (a point of sale thing) cones to mind but there were plenty others.

Does Apple no longer give a poo poo or does that still happen, just they are all dead and there are no word worlds left for zombie Jobs to conquer?
