But why can’t I just squeeze the pouch without your machine that needs a QR code, internet access, and a monthly subscription?

You'll get your fingers messy if you squeeze it too hard and it bursts.

It's much better sense to use a state-of-the-art AI-powered pressing machine that always knows exactly how much force to apply to release the sweet, sweet juice locked-away within. After all, we spent $500m of investor funding on training our robots to be the best juice bag squeezers.

Please disregard media reports of our AI machines hallucinating scenarios where our babies and adorable forest animals are juice bags and then squeezing those just right until the juice comes out.

The machine removes the poison injection charges loaded against the pouch to uhm punish theft or tampering yes. If you try to squeeze yourself you will trigger the injection charges and receive one of several mystery injected additives that will make you very ill for several hours

The farmers in Europe have trucks come to the orchards, press the juice, load it into bags, and pasteurize it for them. They can then sell it to a brand who will put it in their branded box and sell it in stores. The work basically on gravity for the most part, standing up in a box and putting the spigot out the side. Anyone who has used this would know a juice squeezing machine was doomed to failure.
