The Health Trend That Grips Hong Kong Has Meant a Proliferation of Juiceries
I walked past a juicery in New York yesterday that proudly displayed an article from a lifestyle magazine promulgating the newest craze–juice crawling. It’s exactly what it sounds like: in the same way you would pub crawl, ditch the pint and sub it for a green smoothie and drink your way through the city’s finest liquid carrot, mango and orange juices. It begs the question: have we reached peak juice trends? A few things indicate a mass of millennials arriving in capital cities; increase in record player purchases, juiceries, farmers’ markets etc. The United States might have hit peak farmers’ market as per a January 2015 study from the US Department of Agriculture, but Amazon claimed its highest selling piece of tech over Christmas was the record player, and it seems as though the trend of ‘local, organic, liquid’ isn’t slowing either, particularly in Hong Kong. The number of dedicated cold-pressed juiceries in Hong Kong (these stock juices which are extracted using a hydraulic press rather than in the traditional process which uses much more oxygen and heat and thereby purportedly compromises nutrients) sits at 13 at last count. While the territory is better known for barbecued meats and a filling bowl of carbs noodles and wontons, Hong Kong always had a finger in the juice pie (not a thing); typically older women and men were commonly seen at the junctures of many of the busiest side streets of Hong Kong with a singular non-commerical juicer, churned out fresh papaya, pineapple, bitter melon and carrot juices to pedestrians. But this was the extent of it. The cold-pressed juice industry did not exist in 2011, which means there’s been an increase of 550% per cent in just five years, and this is not including the many more cafes and fast-casual dining outlets that offer cold-pressed juice on their menu.

Adapt Or Fail: Watch Out For Disruptive Technologies
“(Amazon ) is a big force, which has already disrupted plenty of people and it will disrupt more. When we saw what was happening on the Internet, we jumped in with both feet.
