Juicero is a juicing machine and service that secured about $120 million in funding from the likes of Google and other venture capitalists before it rolled out to 17 states this
week. The pricey machine is built to squeeze the subscription-only
Juicero bags of fruit and veggies, which it cold-presses using four tons of force. Some have called the machine a Keurig for juice.

But
there’s one teeny problem: It turns out you don’t need the machine.
Bloomberg reports that recently, “some investors were surprised to
discover a much cheaper alternative: You can squeeze the Juicero bags with your bare hands.” Hand-squeezing the bags for 90 seconds, they found, rendered almost as much juice as using the $400 machine for two minutes.

please watch this video, it is mind boggling

“the press needs to be connected to wi-fi to make juice” this is literally indistinguishable from a parody of the app economy
