I was just looking at how much the meat pulled (shrunk) away from the end of the rib bone, which is usually but not always the best indicator. Just sayin

I understand. When I picked them up with the tongs, they folded to about 90°. That says done to me.

So the juice bar craze is still trending here. I know people gotta make a buck, but for $7, I can do all of these blends at home and make two-three days' worth of on-the-go or take-to-lunch juice-shakes in larger sizes, yet. Not even a hassle to make 'em. Maybe cleaning the blender when you're finished is a minor chore, but...I love using mah blender.

I don't think I've bought a straight-up juice from a shop since this juice cart that used to be outside my office went out of biz over ten years ago...and they charged no more than $4 or $5 for their blends.

The most expensive one I found (to date) was $9. Fuuuuuuck that. Unless you got a magic fruit that's gonna give my dick powers to control the weather, ain't no juice worth more than an alcoholic drank. :D
 
How much does an alcoholic drink cost?

Depends on where you go, but the average price of a mixed drink at a nondescript bar is usually $5 to $8. These places are steadily disappearing within the greater city. With the trendier joints going a little more upscale, mixed drinks will run you $10-$12 and at the scenester hipster velvet ropey joints or rooftop bars, drinks will run you $15 on up to maybe $20-something. This is all pre-tip, mind you.

So, paying almost $10 for just juice is really being privileged.
 
I'm thinking of buying one of those Nutri Bullets I see on TV. I wonder if it really does totally liquefies fruits n veggies seed, peel and all. Does anyone have one?

Also that machine that turns frozen fruit into something similar to soft serve ice cream has caught my attention. I think it's called Yonanna?

The NutriBullet is around 250W.
I found a generic brand machine for a quarter the price that does exactly the same and is 350W (much stronger motor).
It juices everything except carrot. I still get some chunks of carrot, which is fine because I dislike carrot in my juice anyway. And cleanup really is as fast as the ads show - much, much simpler than cleaning a juicer!

Are you sure you are not confusing the Nutri Bullet with the magic bullet or the baby bullet? That power rating sounds very low. Dam so many bullets.... DUCK!

Are there different models of the NutriBullet?
I saw it in a store here that brings out tv models of stuff fairly quickly, and compared it to other models available.
The one I unpacked in the shop was 250W.

Wow! I had no idea.
