Juicero isn't actually that crazy of an idea in terms of subscription services, if anything SHOULD have a subscription service is something fresh and consumable like juice
Off topic, but that reminds me of something tangentially related that happened a ways back. I'd posted on a department store's FB about some troubles I was having with their website. The website issues were resolved, I went back to consooming, and completely forgot about the whole experience. I despise FB with a passion but unfortunately everyone I know is on it, so I try to log on semi regularly. Well, about a week after making the post to the department store's website, I revived a friend request from a complete random. I checked their page to see if it were a friend of a friend, but it turned out to be a 'psychic' with a lot of immaculately dyed hair, a taste for Tree-Of-Life 'Renaissance' gowns, and a habit of peering moodily through some foliage at the camera. My fb profile is private and not visible to searches so this sort of thing doesn't really happen to me. I eventually found the notification that, a week earlier, the 'psychic' had come across my post on the department store's FB and replied that she'd had a huge, dark, violent premonition about me and that I needed to contact her RIGHT NOW.
Anytime you're selling a "lifestyle" you will inevitably find someone who wholeheartedly lives that "lifestyle" and Juicero did. There aren't many of them, but the whole "cold pressed juice" thing has legit rabid supporters and there are plenty of them who live at the corner of vegan street and technophile court.
An army of toothless heartburn enthusiasts, eh?
Having an extra room for a hoard is such a privilege, I love it when they get caught whining about being broke but they have way more spending power than the average family.
Is anyone else feeling an intense urge to purge their personal possessions right now?
Every time I see shit like this, I’m torn between “I’m not so bad” and “I need to become a minimalist NOW”
I'm taking a blood oath to keep my collection to a single shelf and no more.
Part of me wishes I had that space, but the other part is glad I don't, because it might get filled with stupid shit like that instead of becoming a office or something useful.
I had a three bedroom house to myself some years back. I turned one bedroom into an office, but the third bedroom just accumulated random crap and maybe got opened once a month.
Minimalists are just the Vegetarians of Consoomers.
True. It’s turned into a whole brand of consooming in and of itself.
Pffft. You can still see the floor in there. 0/10, would not admire hoard again.
Suffer, my friends.
