That thing was built like a Bugatti. And he's like "why not use a roller instead of a press??".
- mtreis86 3y agoIt really is, he is equally impressed and disgusted with this one, a rare combination. Most impressively built stuff isn't so wasteful. And most useless junk isn't nearly so well made.
- etrautmann 3y agoEven when first announced, it became a meme among friends Juicero (and Ubeam) were peak Silicon Valley.
- jacobwilliamroy 3y agoI think they were trying to turn food into a subscription service? Having complete control over a person's food supply sounds like an 8 million dollar idea. It still sounds like a really bad idea, but I think that is how Juicero was pitched to investors, rather than a spaceship that squeezes bags marginally worse than a person can.
- junon 3y agoI love AvE and somehow understand exactly what he's saying whilst simultaneously having no idea what he's saying half the time. Does anyone know if this is some regional slang? Or is AvE just very unique in how he speaks?
- callalex 3y agoIt is very Canadian and is full to the brim with references to the Red Green Show, including his sign-off telling you to “keep your stick on the ice”.
- junon 3y agoAha! Thank you :)
- switchbak 3y agoHe's mostly putting it on, with the "vidjaeos, J-A-Pan" and such. He does combine a bunch of Quebecois and Western rural slang in a very impressive way though!
