It's on my list when I have fuck you money. Next to a pacojet

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The pacojet is way expensive, also, the pacojet patents runned off and now there exists way cheaper alternatives that work in the same way. Check out the NinjaCream.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did but I really want the pacojet :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why? Not challenging, just wondering what the pacojet does that other machines can't

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Just reading a quick review of the Ninja Creamy, the Pacojet can run without putting chunks of plastic in your ice cream.

"In early 2023, a moderator in the Ninja Creami Community Facebook group introduced a new rule: No more posts about the plastic issue, lest they clog up the group."

Yeah that seems bad lol. I feel like there has to be an option in between $200(creami) and $7000(pacojet) that can avoid chunks of plastic though

Oh. That's concerning. ๐Ÿ˜•

Lol, what? My mother bought that stupid ninja thing. Now my kids are going to be fed even more plastic?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I have no idea how safe it is; from a health perspective, but it doesn't sound appetizing to me.

Here's the review in question, so you can be a little more informed: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/ninja-creami-ice-cream-maker-review/

You know, a Pacojet can produce a powderized, uh, snow-like texture.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Weird, I JUST watched that movie.

I just looked at the website for the pacojet since Iโ€™d never heard of it: legit the most patronising website Iโ€™ve ever seen in my life

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think you mean pacotizingยฎ โ€‹

[โ€“] otterpop 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Check out the Ninja Creamie for something almost exactly like the Pacojet but much more affordable.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well, yes, but then I wouldn't need fuckyou money
