I don’t understand the juicero. If you are “juicing” what is basically canned fruit, in what world could that be better than blending and straining fresh fruit?

And now you know why it failed (well, that and product reviews that were rivaled only by the ones for the Humane Pin for their scathing take). I don't know how much you know about the product, or how much of the blurb you read, but VCs threw money at a company making a complicated hydraulic/electric military-grade internet-connected industrial press suitable for stamping out automobile doors. Turns out, though, you could get equal results just squeezing the bags with your hands, skipping the $800 hardware piece.
