Contents[edit]

we need a source showing the contents of the packs to be pre-shredded, not just cut. the contents appear to be simply the end product of a regular juicing machine, the liquid and the pulp, just not separated. so they dont separate the juice from the pulp, but they do separate the money from the rubes.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 19:38, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are YT Videos showing the content. It is what you would expect from a regular juicer, but not separated from the liquid. Did the company ever advertise why their product was in any way better than just selling the juice itself? As stated in the article, they claimed it is less messy with their product. Yeah. But so is juice in a bottle. Same amount of plastic waste. Even less mess, because you do not have to supply the drinking glass. And the non liquid can be recycled by the company that makes the juice and does not land in the garbage can of the customer, where it might start to stink. Or was that stuff biodegradeable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.57.7.102 (talk) 13:25, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"A simpler and cheaper implementation, suggested Einstein, would likely have produced much the same quality of juice at a price several hundred US dollars cheaper." Einstein is, to my knowledge, not alive. 109.149.69.173 (talk) 22:58, 8 September 2018 (UTC)Black-Photon[reply]

@DGG: This is more complicated than I had thought. The company evidently marketed the contents as being "cut" and reliable sources e.g. happily repeated it The packs, which cost about $5 to $7 apiece, hold the diced up fruits and vegetables that get turned into juice but the later ones are more uncertain about what state the contents of the packs were in e.g. the Bloomberg story which started the downfall says One of the investors said they ... wouldn’t have met with Evans if he were hawking bags of juice and arstechica said Some investors said they assumed the Juicero would press large chunks of fruit and vegetables, but instead... delivered bags of pre-cut pulp. From more recently This says colourful bloodbags of prepulped fruit and vegetables while this says described a supply chain that delivered juice packs significantly less fresh than advertised. From reading sources years ago, I had thought it was clear it was juice, but now I think it is something closer to a smoothie? Frustratingly I can't find anything which really explains their contents. SmartSE (talk) 22:43, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think including Einstein in there was just a joke. But yeah, it sounds awfully inaccurate. Zatrp (talk) 09:37, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why have mentions of teardown by Ave been repeatedly removed?[edit]

Why have mentions of teardown by Ave been repeatedly deleted? Any edits I've made, accurately and clearly describing this teardown video, with citations, have been promptly removed. This teardown video is far more detailed and thorough than the one currently described in the article, and performed by someone widely recognized as an expert in the subject matter.

I don't understand the arbitrary nature of such reversal of edits, and I don't see any explanation given. AnswerManDan (talk) 23:57, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

wiki editors have a somewhat luddite tendency to remove anything that acknowledges that youtube videos are sometimes significant sources 2601:642:C481:4640:0:0:0:6DE (talk) 05:24, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
