This $400 Juicer Has One Big Flaw

• Juicero, a Very Fancy juicing start-up that collected more than $120 million in funding, has one big issue, as Bloomberg has discovered: Consumers don’t actually need to purchase the $400 machine in order to drink the Very Fancy juice packs that Juicero sells. The brand’s proprietary “produce packs,” which retail for $5-8 each, can be squeezed by hand nearly as efficiently as when a drinker uses the machine, which itself dropped its price from $700 to $400 earlier this year. As Bloomberg notes, “Built on the promise of technology, Juicero was among the top-funded U.S. hardware startups in 2016” — turns out, the hardware was totally not necessary.
