Huh, I wonder if this was just with certain juice bags, or if they generally pulverize the materials in the bags to make it easier to squeeze. I can easily see this for berries, citrus, etc, but it seems less likely for beets, kale, and other hardier vegetables.

Regardless, their actual market has always been restaurants and offices that want to have juice without a mess or someone who knows how to make it, and that seems less impacted, if perhaps less appealing to their investors.

The bags don't have anything other than juice in them.

edit: Or maybe finely chopped stuff. Unclear. I would think they wouldn't bother putting stuff like orange pulp in the bags though.

but if you can squeeze the juice by hand, its just juice. They're selling a $400 machine that squeezes a packet for you.

Life imitates art i guess

It says it has chopped raw vegetables and fruits in the packets. They would need to add fruits with lots of juice to compensate for vegetables that need more liquid to be juiced fully like beets or carrots.
In the video, we see a reporter squeezing green juice out of a bag. Presumably pre-pureed kale or spinach.
