I'm a lovable meme.

I am late to this thread, but since everyone's talking about horrible, scammy, kitchen gadgets, here's a video by AvE wherein he disassembles and figures out how the Juicero works. You know, the 400$ machine that needs WiFi and squeezes juice packages for you slower than you'd do by hand. Basically the company took their absolutely terrible business idea and made sure every single component was made of the highest quality. If I understand AvE correctly, some of the parts are actually worth much more than the entire machine itself - just a shame that none of that was necessary.

And aside from being completely and utterly pointless, the machine is actually quite a work of art. Think some of these scams exist because some portions of society have become so bored and wealthy that they just don't know what else to splurge money on anymore except making overengineered juice presses. Basically make stuff exclusive and expensive just for expensiveness's sake.
