The thing is, the internet connection was literally only put in to make them more money. And to make your life more difficult (I’m serious).
No internet connection? Sorry, you’re not getting juice today.
No smartphone? Sorry, you’re not getting juice today.
Forget your in-app password? Sorry, you’re not getting juice today.
Packets just one day past it’s expiration date? Sorry, you’re not getting juice today, buy another packet.
In the likely event that Juicero Inc. goes bankrupt and shuts down, customers will be left with a $400 paperweight/doorstop/modern art piece, because the machine REFUSES to work on anything but genuine Juicero-brand packets, as signified by the QR code on the back.
An even bigger slap to the face is that the remains from normal juicing (the peels and whatnot) are biodegradable/compostable. The plastic Juicero packets aren’t.
