It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, I don't know anything about juicers, but I found this for you: [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Octopuses are very smart. They are easily bored and require diversion. So at one aquarium they hit upon a solution - give the octopus a Mr. Potato Head filled with smelt.

The article is worth it just for the picture....

That is SO freaking cool!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Toddson, how do you clean that juicer?

I know that locally - the zoo? - they had an octopus that they'd feed by dropping a jar with a screwtop lid filled with the food. The octopus would unscrew the jar to get the food. Obviously, Mr. Potatohead is more fun!

We have a crazy heavy old school juicer which we have used approximately never. It lives in the laundry room with the dehydrator we've never used to make bannana chips or jerky.

ita, the one I have (much simpler than the one I linked to) has a cone that you put the half-fruit on and a tray with a hole that the juice runs into. The parts that are used in the actual squeezing come out and can be washed. And I usually run a damp dishcloth over the rest of it, since the juice spatters a little (or, at least, it does for me - you may not have that problem). I like it because it's easy to use, easy to clean, and not complicated. Less strenuous than the ones where you do all the squeezing yourself.

Now I'm imagining an octopus using a juicer (orange halves in each tentacle).

Remember the octopus bartender in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Now that was good use of all those tentacles!

That was an insane game.
