I thought that said Zune at first
Same lol
Me too!
Despite its overflowing war chest, however, Zume’s business suffered from a critical flaw: it’s apparently quite difficult to cook a pizza while it’s in the back of a moving vehicle
Zume went the way of Zune.
We need to have a running tally on the amount of VC money that has been burned on completely idiotic investments like these.
I think you could’ve told this to a six year old and they would’ve told you this is a stupid idea.
I'm not so sure about the last part, this seems exactly like an idea a 6-year-old would suggest but just with additional tech buzzwords.
Truly ahead of its time.
Wow, this beats Juicero in the “stupid food startup” category.
It's not exactly the same but my city has "robot pizza machines" that are basically glorified vending machines with pizza that's cooked daily and reheated on demand. It works really well for the company because they specifically put the machines in neighbourhoods where people go to drink.
I think as far as automated pizza goes, that's the best way to do it.
Kind of like the Japanese vending machines. I think those kind of thing are awesome (and practical if you need a fast bite) and would love to see them in America more.
I'm in Tokyo right now and got 100% real orange juice squeezed in a vending machine. Every five seconds I just go "man America fucking SUCKS"
How different is that than buying 100% fruit juice from the supermarket? Like does it really taste different.
No but it juiced it for me and that's cool as hell
Vending machines like this are reliant on foot traffic. It would be viable in some American cities, but the majority of the country is car dependent.
Of course we would have to fix that major issue with all of America. Car centric cities are simply terrible.
