Nothing. It's a perfect product.
Gives shit load of money while having zero usability. It's exactly what silicon valley wanted to produce and to earn on.
It needed many intelligent people to imagine a DRM people would like to pay for.

Greed.

The product sucks, seriously a fucking $400 (originallay $600 juicer) PLUS juice packs that cost 5-10 bucks EACH.

Maybe there is a niche market for these things, in stupid hipster stores.

Everyone is trying to jump on this 'subscription' model business with all sorts of dumb shit.

Even if it's temporary, I'm making way more in SF than I would anywhere else. The cost of living is high but it's still a much lower percentage of my income than if I lived in a shitty flyover state.

That's the real, non-autist answer.

I work somewhere where these are free in the break rooms. Because of all the buzz about these, today everyone was hand-squeezing the bags and then using the machine to compare, cutting the bags to examine the mostly-liquid-anyway mush inside, etc. We probably went through 200 bags today just from people fucking around.

maybe I'm retarded, but WTF does this thing even do?
is there a filter in each pouch that separates the pulp from the juice or something?

also, is there an inherent benefit to having the juice co-mingled with the pulp until right before consumption? I don't get why you wouldn't just buy juice.

That reminds me. I did this quite a while ago, each one of the four piles has the same amount of sugar as the can of Coke.

People freak about the amount of sugar in Coke but I would drink that can over an hour or more, most of the snacks I would consume in a few minutes.

Not saying there is no problem here, but it isn't just Coke and soft drinks. A lot of foods and especially snack foods have a lot of sugar in them which is far easier to consume large quantities of than Coke.

>>60075129
holy shit the packaging alone must cost a fortune

>>60075395
I believe the sugar in foods isn't as easily broken down because of the other things surrounding and containing it. With soda you're pretty much consuming just sugar

>>60075640
Idk but people prefer mexican coke.

I used to know this one guy who used to trap with his shawty when i was younger and he told me that everyone wanted the mexican shit because it was apparently better for some reason.

I think its because americans make drugs so lazily. If you ever tried american weed compared to weed from an immigrant or from mexico or canada, american weed sucks ass.

>>60075640

Unfortunately, that isn't the case.

I don't get it. So instead of buying fruit to use in my juicer, I should buy this where I'm supposed to buy special juice packs from the company to even use the fucking thing? I don't even know the cost of this thing or the juice packets but I'm certain that it is way more expensive than buying a regular juicer and using fruit from the store.

>>60075640
high fructose corn syrup
Corn is far cheaper in the US than cane.
In mexico they make it with cane sugar, supposedly.

>>60075814
Isn't that the case with fruits? I don't know about chocolate

>>60075875
They used to, I think they use corn syrup too now but the "mexican coke" they sell in America is still cane sugar. It's also more expensive

Fucking brilliant.

>>60075860
>I don't even know the cost of this thing or the juice packets but I'm certain that it is way more expensive than buying a regular juicer and using fruit from the store.
$400 "juicer" (which requires being connected to the internet and logged in etc to even work) and ~$10 per 8 oz juice packet.

What a fucking deal.

>>60075892
Fruits have different kinds of sugars in them.

>>60075912
There's a tariff on cane sugar, which is why it's more expensive.

>>60075860
They made a video about this. They argue that it takes more time and is less of a hassle.

Sure, but you can buy organic drinks straight from the fucking store that cost less. Or you can make a lot at a time and then keep it for later. Or you can just, you know, drink regular store bought orange juice, apple juice, whatever etc for 3 bucks a gallon.

This product is essentially a tech CEO deciding that the health fad is a luxury market, and making it the most luxurious and stupid product ever gives you an edge. So they decided, "We need to make THE PERFECT JUICING EXPERIENCE." Minimal effort, great. Packs delivered to your house, great. Looks good, great. Wifi connected, great (remember we're dealing with rich hipsters who think IoT is the future.)
They were more obsessed with the brand than the product. If they were smart they'd sell those packets as easy to use squeezable fresh produce pouches you just tear open and squeeze in 10 seconds into a glass and you're good to go. It's small and convenient, each one is a single serve. That's a smart product. But the brand is the whole thing.

Also, the juicer is ridiculously overengineered. It's built really goddamn well, but holy hell.
