I give you... ALCHEMA
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alchema/alchema-turn-fruit-into-personalized-craft-cider
Somewhere between "throwing your rotten fruit away" and "getting blasted on rubbing alcohol," there exists a magical fantasy land in which you can utilize those expensive-rear end pomegranates your kids won't eat to get ripped in the middle of the day! ALCHEMA is your own personal small-batch cider maker! Simply add fruit, sugar, and water of your own choosing, pop in one of the handy yeast packets, and then let that poo poo hang out on your counter for a week (or 16) and entertain your friends with your own terrible Cidre!
ALCHEMA is actually kind of a cool idea until you realize they're shooting for a mostly unattainable millenial ideal - one in which you have infinite free time and money to spend on fresh fruits for your hyper-advanced five gallon bucket, and not the far more realistic scenario in which you drunkenly stuff a bunch of old moldy bananas in the thing and frantically push the button before stumbling into your bathroom to polish off the mouthwash and pass out in the shower.
Amazing. If only I had one of these in jail

This dude looks hilarious but at least no one gave him $120 friggin MILLION like the Juicero crazy hippie. He is seriously insane, watch some of his interviews. He believes fruits have magical chi power and auras that he can see, feel, and capture. How he walked away out of a pitch with a bunch of suits with a $120 million dollar check after bullshitting about fruits and their chi aura for an hour is unbelievable to me. Like I would be hesitant to give even $10 to a random crazy hippie for some invention he cooked up.
He didn't walk away with a $120 million check after one pitch. He got several millions from several pitches to several investors

Ahh ok. Still, that makes it worse somehow. There are dozens of investors who all said YES! and then it added up to $120 mil. Wasn't one crazy rich guy.
Yeah, that was my point. At none of these meetings someone said wait, this is dumb as gently caress

I have a staub pan which is basically le creuset but cheaper and it's super good. I also bought unseasoned cast iron pots and pans from local ironworkers for like 20 dollars a piece and they're every bit as good if you take proper care of them. Don't overpay for cast iron, it's not that hard.
