Press vs. electric: which makes better orange juice?

charlCharles Perry was serious about his research. Sixteen pounds of Valencia oranges and a few Navels, a heavy manual juice press and an electric juicer, phone calls to experts all over the country, blind taste tests, and a fancy refractometer. All this to discover that, while pressed orange juice seems to taste better than reamed juice, there is no scientific evidence - or even a generally-held theory - as to why this might be. Oh well. Either way, Perry is going to stick with his "Amazing Hulk of a juicer" because "the proof is in the juice."

Indigestion. That is fucking funny.
