The company behind the infamous DRM juicer went belly-up in sales and is shutting down. Apparently there wasn't enough demand to warrant enough product growth.

In my opinion, the juicer had everything going against it from the design phase. Making a juicer that only works with one specific product and must be linked to the internet via a smartphone app sounds so anti-consumer that EA probably invested in it. Why would anyone buy a $700 $400 juicer, when one that you can put your own produce into will run you less than half of that? What a wasteful attempt to solve a non-problem.

Edit: fuck how did i forget how to link

what's the point in a juicer that to operate it you have to:

A.) Download their app to operate it
&
B.) Only works with special Juicero packets

I don't think I properly understand why it took so long for a company like that whose only product is like that to finally die.

Really, Juicero?
Juice is just not that fucking hard people. Grab any fruit you like and squeeze it into a glass.
Give me a couple apples and a c-clamp and I'll make juice faster way faster than that gaudy, overpriced paperweight they call a juicer.
