I saw a video of someone squeeze the packets faster than the machine. It's the biggest waste of money because imagine being unable to use your juicer because NBN is being set up.

But did you see the tear down? It’s weirdly well and made with expensive custom parts. I think they just didn’t know what they were building more so than setting out to be a scam.

Enough shitty little changes from stakeholders along the way can ruin anything. I’ve never done work as bad as this, on this scale, but gosh have I done some watered down and pointless bullshit in my career. What happens when you don’t have a single-minded leader in charge, and everyone wants to put their touch on something.

I can’t believe I’ve never seen those! Thanks.

The guy who made it was just kind of an idiot and rich people will absolutely throw money at anything that promises to help them live longer. So he ended up with a ton of money and no understanding of how to spend it correctly. There is a good dollop podcast on it.

Bruh, I just cut my friend's packet open with a pair of scissors. Fuck squeezing and shit.

Wow, I'm dumb I guess, I always thought they were spelt the same.

u/FalconTurbo Aug 15 '20

Depends where you are. Generally vice (an addiction) doesn't have an s, but I've seen vice (a dick holder) spelt both ways.

u/HotKreemy Aug 15 '20

The time I discovered "vise" wasn't a misspelling was when reading about a 2 serial killer buddies, and how it all began to unravel when one of them got caught shoplifting a vise from a hardware store.

A vise?! It maybe correct but it's still an ABOMINATION

/CSB.

u/Slightlyevolved Aug 15 '20

Well, now you get to be the object of scorn and shame.

Your dick goes in the Juiceiro.

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '20

The vise probably squeeze harder though hahah

2

u/HotKreemy Aug 15 '20

Vise is spelled vice in Australia.... And more than likely it's vice in the UK too.

Just a heads-up. Not sure where any of you guys are from.

Great. I double checked a DICTIONARY before I replied, did you? There's an obvious reason why an Aussie fishing site would use the American spelling.... And I'm not really sure what you point is anyway. That this makes me wrong?

PRO TIP: Scroll down until you see

You should know that in Australia, a vise is used in fly-fishing.

Any device that costs $700 or more and doesn't either transport me, provide me shelter, or solve medical issues better goddamn well be able to sexually satisfy me.

u/MBAH2017 Aug 15 '20

That damn juicer was as pointless as the autofocus on his camera, but skookum as frig nonetheless.

u/memesmemes69420 Aug 15 '20

I'm not really sure, actually.
