$120m from investors none of whom were aware you don't need a $400 machine to squeeze the juice from fruit? How do people with so little sense get so much money?

Guys, we are talking about a juicer here.

- So the machine is 6%, give or take, more efficient than hand. If I'm serving two juices a day during weekdays for me and spouse at average cost of $6.5/unit that's $0.78/day, $3.90/week, say I do this 50 weeks a year so $195 in juice recovery value (JRV) by using the machine :).
- Also saves the household example above 3 minutes of time a day by using machine. Let's say average household who can afford $8 packets of juice is in the $100k/yr club at least so time value (for sale) of $50/hr gives me an efficiency gain of 750 minutes or $625/year in Juicer Time Return (JTR).
Using machine provides one year JRV of $195 and a JTR of $625 = $820
Product cost is $400.
FOLKS you are DOUBLING YOUR MONEY!
Huh, I wonder if this was just with certain juice bags, or if they generally pulverize the materials in the bags to make it easier to squeeze. I can easily see this for berries, citrus, etc, but it seems less likely for beets, kale, and other hardier vegetables. Regardless, their actual market has always been restaurants and offices that want to have juice without a mess or someone who knows how to make it, and that…
The bags don't have anything other than juice in them. edit: Or maybe finely chopped stuff. Unclear. I would think they wouldn't bother putting stuff like orange pulp in the bags though.
Life imitates art i guess
That looks like a waste nightmare. > The only element not recyclable by municipal methods are the Packs themselves > Request a prepaid shipping label from by clicking the “Get Started” button below. We will then collect the Packs... https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/juicero
Isn't it though? On top of not only the waste you have the waste of shipping/transportation. > Step One: Cut off the bottom section of the Pack and remove the pulp > Step Two: Rinse the Pack. > Step Three: Set the Pack aside until you’re ready to recycle. > Step Four: MAIL THEM IN Request a prepaid shipping label from by clicking the “Get Started” button below. At this point I'm better off not only saving money, pack…
I don't understand this product at all. If you're willing to buy a pack of prepared juice, why not just buy a bottle of juice instead?

The bottle of juice wouldn't let you discard a capri-sun package full of squeeze fruit husks. This lets people know you're wealthy enough to not care about excess.
