Japanese toy company [Takara Tomy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-anime-collectibles) has begun pre-selling and promoting the Burt Reynolds-esque juicer known as 'Mr. Gurefuru' online using an overzealous and enthusiastic commercial. It is expected to be in stock on March 29, 2012. In about a minute, the item turns a piece of fresh fruit into a smoothie-like beverage by first poking a hole into the top and then churning a crank around in its insides. The Gurefuru Chuchu allows one's [citrus snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-snack-cups) of choice to be turned into a tasty [juice cocktail on-the-go](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-back-to-school), and could be a big hit for children and lovers of items that are novel, yet practical.
