22. The Juiceman Juice Machine
“It’s just the quality of the juice you get with the Juiceman… it’s very rich and it’s very wholesome and hearty and fresh and just drinking that feels like my body saying ‘Thank you! You just cleansed me.’”
The Juiceman Juice Machine’s infomercial feels like it appeals to everyone’s worst fear in the ‘90s: being fat. Testimonials include lowering blood pressure, heightened libido, quitting smoking, and more solely based on the nutrients you’re gonna get by using the Juiceman. Research indicates, however, that juicing offers no leg-up over just eating fruits and vegetables. Everyone’s into smoothies these days anyway. One could argue there’s a straight line from the Juiceman to the Liver King.
