<div class="bbWrapper">The real question is:<br /> How does a product/company receive that much funding and fail to see the market doesn&#039;t want it?</div>

Maybe they did, but my guess is that they tried the idea, it failed, so they closed up shop early.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The juicer was total trash is what it was. An overpriced bag squeezer that squeezed overpriced pre-made juice packs for you. Ones that you can just squeeze with your hand. Not to mention it has to be connected to the internet which is completely useless as well.<br /> <br /> <div class="bbMediaWrapper" data-media-site-id="youtube" data-media-key="5lutHF5HhVA"> <div class="bbMediaWrapper-inner"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5lutHF5HhVA?wmode=opaque" loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe> </div> </div></div>
