6 Fake Products That Fooled The Entire World

Juicero – The $120 Million Wi-Fi Juicer

Juicero raised over $120 million from investors, including Google, to build a Wi-Fi-connected juicer. The machine cost $699 and applied four tons of force to squeeze juice from proprietary packets. The only catch? The packets were already filled with pre-juiced liquid—you could get the same result by squeezing them with your hands. The machine was completely useless. The company was widely mocked and went bankrupt. Silicon Valley’s $120 million mistake.
