Silicon Valley thinks you do
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-04-19/silicon-valley-s-400-juicer-may-be-feeling-the-squeeze One of the most lavishly funded gadget startups in Silicon Valley last year was Juicero Inc. It makes a juice machine. The product was an unlikely pick for top technology investors, but they were drawn to the idea of an internet-connected device that transforms single-serving packets of chopped fruits and vegetables into a refreshing and healthy beverage. I want to take a moment to think about the techies who invested in a $400 Capri Sun machine. Edit: it apparently used to be $700. I regret the error. --- an aspirin the size of the sun. ...

The device also reads a QR code printed on the back of each produce pack and checks the source against an online database to ensure the contents haven’t expired or been recalled, the person said. The expiration date is also printed on the pack. classic --- And in an infinite regress, tell me, why is the pain of birth lighter borne than the pain of death? http://www.last.fm/user/followthegospel ...

considering that juicing is just about the dumbest fucking idea to begin with (lets take a piece of food, squeeze all the sugar out of it to drink and discard the only healthy part of it. might as well just drink a coke), spending that amount of money for a device is just ridiculous.
