<p>Emiller: Added Juicer Juice Drinkers ⊂ Juicer Owners</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number = 1265<br /> | date = September 16, 2013<br /> | title = Juicer<br /> | image = juicer.png<br /> | titletext = But the rind is where all the vitamins are!<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> {{incomplete}}<br /> There are several possible readings of this comic:<br /> <br /> ;Juicing Gushers<br /> Juicers are typically used to crush fruits and/or vegetables, thereby extracting a vitamin-rich juice and eliminating the ostensibly onerous task of chewing the solids. However, in this case, instead of actual fruits or vegetables, someone is making juice from {{w|Fruit_Gushers|fruit gushers}}, a chewy fruit-flavored candy, thereby extracting a nearly nutritionless juice out of a candy casing which was formulated specifically for human consumption.<br /> <br /> The title text claims that the rind is rich in vitamins is something you often hear from &quot;health freaks&quot;, but which is only partly true for certain vegetables and fruits, most prominently apples and potatoes. It is particularly absurd in this case, where the &quot;rind&quot; of a Fruit Gusher consists mainly of sugar.<br /> <br /> ;Hard '''g''' / soft '''g'''<br /> Alternatively, the joke is that &quot;Gushers&quot; could be pronounced as &quot;juicers&quot; since a 'G' can signify a soft-g sound (as in 'gin') and a 'u' can signify a {{w|Close_back_rounded_vowel|close back rounded vowel}}.<br /> <br /> ;Juicer Juice Drinkers ⊂ Juicer Owners<br /> Many people buy juicers (and exercise equipment) with the notion that the bought items will make them healthier. This comic shows a juicer with three full bottles of juice, indicating that the owner of the juice machine is making healthy juice with the intention of drinking it, but not consuming juice at the rate it is produced. The comic also shows a Fruit Gusher snack, indicating the unhealthy option that the juicer owner just can't stop eating.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :[The picture shows a package with fruit gushers, a juicer, and three bottles filled with liquid in the colors red, blue, and red.]<br /> :&quot;Oh yeah, juicers are great! I use mine all the time.&quot;<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comics with color]]</div>
