The Juicero Juicer Scam
- Mark describes the Juicero device and how it sold expensive hardware to squeeze prefilled pouches.
- He explains the machine was unnecessary because you could squeeze the pouch by hand and get the same juice.

- He notes demos even showed people trying to juice hamburgers and other absurd items for shock value.
