Juicer-fanatics and mustache aficionados alike can use The Gurefuru Chuchu as a fun and portable way to turn oranges into homemade juice-boxes.
Japanese toy company Takara Tomy has begun pre-selling and promoting the Burt Reynolds-esque juicer known as 'Mr. Gurefuru' online using an overzealous and enthusiastic commercial. It is expected to be in stock on March 29, 2012.
In about a minute, the item turns a piece of fresh fruit into a smoothie-like beverage by first poking a hole into the top and then churning a crank around in its insides.
The Gurefuru Chuchu allows one's citrus snack of choice to be turned into a tasty juice cocktail on-the-go, and could be a big hit for children and lovers of items that are novel, yet practical.
