Better than word's coffee machine! The American juicer is a funny scam.

The Brother Coffee Machine has made Hong Kong notorious in the international crowdfunding community, but Arist has not yet been realized, and the victims really have no way to lodge complaints. I have supported the magnetic energy line related to the brother coffee machine, and of course it almost fell through in the end! Recently, however, an American company has built a juicer that is more "powerful" than a coffee machine. What happened?

Better than word's coffee machine! The American juicer is a funny scam.

The incident will start in 2013, when the American Doug Evans established Juicero, and its core product is the juicer, the protagonist of this time.

This guy is well-known in the vegetarian world. Ten years ago, he sold canned vegetable juice to Hollywood, so when he set up a new company, everyone believed it. This juicer costs $699, which is really expensive. The strangest thing is that in order to protect the juicer, Juicero claims that in order to protect the juicer, users should not put fresh and complete fruits and vegetables in it, and that they must buy a special material package in order to squeeze out fresh vegetable juice. Juicero further stipulates that consumers must buy a juicer before they can buy a material package. Although everyone thought it was strange, because of the boss's fame in the industry, people obediently placed orders.

Believe that smart netizens, see here will find something wrong: what kind of rule is this, can not buy material bags independently? However, for people in Silicon Valley who love vegetarianism, whether they can clean themselves and quickly drink fresh vegetable juices is simply missing and pursuing. According to statistics, Juicero has successfully received an investment of 120 million US dollars, and even Google has a share in the investment. This is a myth in the tech world, and the founders give speeches everywhere, comparing themselves to Steve Jobs.

Of course, myths will be shattered one day. One day, two bored buyers opened the so-called material bag and found that it was filled with vegetable juice squeezed early in the morning. In other words, people paid $699 for a machine to "squeeze vegetable juice out of vegetable juice". Then Bloomberg took a film and found that the speed at which people squeeze out vegetable juice is almost the same as that of machines, and sometimes even faster; in the end, Juicero is dying, and the scanner in the explanation machine can ensure that users will not drink expired vegetable juice, so it still has its value. However, the original package is printed with the best edible time limit. I'll take you.

To put it simply, this juicer is completely useless. Juicero knew this day would come a long time ago, and in January this year, the price was reduced by US $300 (all in HK $2,000), but mending the dead sheep was of no use. Juicero has now been discredited. They have not yet responded to the incident publicly. Did the founder dive? The only thing that is certain is that the market's impression of crowdfunding and smart hardware will be plugged in again, greatly making it more difficult for people with good intentions to succeed.
