Oh gods, the Juicero. Yeah, it's of the same ilk. The "smart" trend of adding computers and network connections to things that literally never needed them.

Like the smart water bottle that reminded you about being thirsty and needing to drink.

IIRC the excuse for Juicero having internet access was to read QR codes on the fruit pouches that included the expiration date, and it would refuse to squeeze expired fruit. Because at it's heart, it was a screw press. A severely over-engineered screw press. Like Jurassic Park, they spared no expense.

Wasn't the Juicero also simply not strong enough to press actual fruit, so the bags were just... Bags of fruit juice? I remember seeing people buy one and just poking a hole for a straw like those lunch juice pockets.

No they were full of fruit. Thing is nothing stopped you from squeezing the bag with your hands.
