Excuses, excuses. Perhaps you should have thought about moving closer to your job, or getting a job closer to your home, so that you could make a daily bike ride a part of your exercise routine.
I think so, probably yes. About the only benefit I can see is that it checks the bag you put on the machine to see if it's past its freshness date or if it is part oa batch that has been recalled. That would be good to know before you drink the juice.
But if you are putting out batches of veggie pulp that needs to be recalled, you have many more serious problems.
Except I actually do eat my veggies the old fashioned way, and I use a blender to make a smoothie before work. tastes good. Good for you too.
The selling point, or rather *a* selling point, is it's convenient. Using the manual method is not. Using a normal blender isn't either because you have to clean. It's a first world problem, sure, but it's still a problem.
Fast food solves a first world problem too, which is that some people don't have time to cook and don't want to sit down at a restaurant. But it still solves a problem. It creates other problems too, but that's another story.
Because the kale is fresh; I just bought it this morning too from a local corner store, and I shop there daily so I know when they get in fresh veggies. Do you have something against kale? Are you a kale-hater? A kaleophobe, if you will? Are you antikale? A misakaleopic person, mind you?
The best comments are always at the bottom, which sucks.
Anyway, my only test of these bags of juice would be the taste test, and with that I'd say the juice is excellent. I use a nutribullet regularly, so I drink a lot of juice/smoothies, and I'd say the juicero juice is very good. You definitely can taste the "freshness" in their juice. There's also a wider variety of ingredients int ehir bags, so I'm getting tastes I don't normally get in their juice, but so far so good.
As I've posted here, whether or not it's a valid business model remains to be seen. There's a large subset of the population that laughs at this sort of stuff, and perhaps rightly so, but there's also a subset that, well, wants to be healthy and believes drinking fresh juice helps with that. It can't hurt; it's an office perk for employees; it's easy and convenient, and it tastes good. It's also expensive, but hey, not my problem.
Which no one would eat. No one in an office eats fruit from a fruit basket. It just doesn't happen. I dunno why, but if you put a bowl of bananas or apples on the table in the office kitchen, chances are it will still be there, untouched a week later.
I don't know what the actual cost of those bags are to us; I suspect that the price drops if you order in bulk or have a contract over time. We do go through a lot of them. I think we were one of the early adopters, so we may have gotten some sort of deal there too; I should ask our HR person.
Look, its a perk. Some companies spend extra money for employees on massages, coffee, beer, or soda. We spend it on a juicer.:-)
Very few of the juicero juice bags are just fruit. All of them have some vegetables in them as far as i can tell. Some of them are sweet, but most of them are not as sweet as you would think or compared to Naked or Odwalla juices.
They stay fresher longer, but they still go bad like any other vegetable kept in a fridge.
The QR code on the back and the much-maligned internet connectivity ensures that when people start putting bad batches of juice in the machine, the machine won't press them, and the company gets notified that customer X's bags of veggies are past their use-by date, so they send someone over to pick up the used bags and deliver more.
I dunno if this is a good business model or not, but that's how it works, and people in my office use the heck out of that machine.
I read the article, but you didn't read my comment.
We have this thing at work. Given the choice between standing there and squeezing out juice like a moron for a minute and a half, or putting a bag in a machine and pressing a simple button, guess which one I'll pick?
Smoothie, juice; potato, pototo. Why do you need to supplement your smoothies or whole veggies with juice? Just eat more veggies or drink more smoothies. You aren't getting anything from the juice you wouldn't get from the smoothie wor whoile veggies, and you are getting less fiber.
I make a smoothie every day before work. I will use the juicer machine at work for one reason and one reason only: I like the taste. I like strong, bitter veggies. I can't stand sugary juice; gimme all the bitter melon, bok choy and other strong tasting stuff you can find; I'll eat it all.
It's sold primarily to companies with many employees. If your office has a kitchen where lots of employees mingle, getting coffee and using the refrigerator and so on, you are their market. The idea is that companies that can afford to spend money on "wellness" for their employees will be willing to spend 5-8$ a bag to keep them happy. It's an office perk, like a fancy coffee machine.
Whether that is a valid business model or not, I have no idea.
But their juice is quite tasty. I'd recommend it if that's your thing.
I don't understand why they would think that "hand-squeezing" would defeat their business model. You can't get all of the juice out by doing that, and it's inefficient, and the selling point is that you hook the bag up and press a button, and that's it. That's easier than pressing your own damn juice out of a bag.
You can mention it, but that doesn't make it true. I prefer the fiber in my pressed juice, so I use a nutribullet at home, which is essentially a superfast blender.
But you do get a lot of the nutrients when you use a pressed juicer like the juicero. The different packs have quite a variety of healthy greens and vegetables in them.
The selling point is that each bag has a QR patch on the back that is read by the machine when you hook the bag up. It's connected to the internet so that if you attempt to use the bag past it's freshness date, which is on the QR patch, the machine won't let you. The bags are also reusable; the company comes to our office and picks up the used bags and then reuses them (presumably after washing them) to redeliver more juice bags at a later date.
The QR patch and internet connection also allows info to be sent if there's a recall on a bad batch of juice. I would also suspect the company is collecting data on which juices are the most popular and adjusting their products accordingly, as I haven't seen the "Spicy Greens" juice packs in my office in a while, as it seems no one but me was drinking them.
This is not a product for the average user. It's sold I would suspect to companies with a fair amount of employees who can go through the packs regularly and make it worthwhile for the company to purchase packs on a constant basis. The average user probably wouldn't get a great deal of value out of it. But for our company, it is used regularly and often. It's pretty good juice, no doubt about it.
We have these at work. The juice is quite good, but I see it as a thing for companies or people with money to burn. I make my own juice at home with a Nutribullet every morning: Kale, a pear and an apple. Takes a minute and it's always fresh.
The juicero stuff is quite good, no doubt about it, so no complaints about the quality.
Wasn't he the guy who was an expert at making deals? Is this part of his "Make America Great" plan? I thought he had the business savvy and know-how to do in fact the exact opposite of this, and create tons of new jobs!
Or maybe he was selling voters a line all along (like he sold bad steaks) and maybe, just maybe, he is exactly like we told you folks he would be.
This. Many sites do it, and while it takes some setting up, it;'s fairly straightforward to prevent folks from the same IP or username from voting repeatedly. It's not normally an issue in IMDB because who cares enough about a movie to vote enough times to change the ratings in that way?
Oh wait...
Actually, when I see something with lots of single stars I'm pretty suspicious anyway.
I live in San Francisco. Numerous Asian grocery stores carry these chips near me. They are much less fattening than normal American chips, like Lays. I eat Calbee chips quite frequently, and I'm a white dude, and they have flavors most Americans wouldn't go near (Sriracha Squid flavored, wasabi and so on). I wouldn't say I'd freak out if my local Asian store stopped carrying them or started charging 12$ a bag, but it's still disappointing.
"The plane has not "boarded" until the doors have been closed and sealed."
The plane may not have boarded, but the passenger clearly has.
"And if a US cop tells me to do something, particularly a CPD, then by fuck I'm going to follow it, or risk having my 6th vertebrae snapped when the officer picks me up in a headlock."
If a CPD tells me to strip naked and sing Auld Lang Syne at the top of my lungs, I will tell him no. And I will be legally correct. The fact that he may decide to assault me doesn't change that fact.
"so you lose one internet." Nope. I assure you, I still have an internet.
Bullshit. It was not a lawful order. You do not have to follow an unlawful order.
He had boarded. All restrictions and regulations about bumping people are before a passenger boards.
"So, even if United argued that there was some ambiguity in “denied boarding” based upon “boarding priority” – and that it could possibly mean removal based upon a removal priority – a court would be forced to rule against this interpretation because United drafted the contract."
Once he is on, then he could potentially be thrown off because of "Refusal of Transport", but...
"The rule, which unlike the denied boarding rule does provide for removal “from the aircraft at any point,” lists some two dozen justifications including: unruly behavior, intoxication, inability to fit into one seat, medical problems or concerns, etc. But nowhere in the list of some two dozen reasons is there anything about over booking, the need to free up seats, the need for seats to accommodate crew members to be used on a different flight etc."
Therefore it's not a lawful order. If a cop tells you to fight another person for his or her amusement or sing Auld Lang Syne, you don't have to follow it.

...as was any lecture you took on the use of commas.
Nevertheless, the article is a good one. Biking daily is good for you. I commute to work on a bike, and it generally feels great.

I'll keep my kale; you can have your shitty iceberg lettuce, thanks.
