"R.I.P.-PED", Way to Die #673, is the fourth death featured in "Today's Menu: Deep Fried Death", which aired on December 8, 2010.
Plot
Ted, a 70-year-old man, pumped muscle like he was in a 35-year-old body. He not only relied on bodybuilding and his own equipment, but also his own juicer, which he truly loved. With a three quarter horsepower engine, it's razor-sharp blades spun at over 60 miles per hour. It sliced the raw produce into bits, and then centrifical force seperated out into juice. He used his juicer to a pulp to maintain his muscles, including dozens of pineapples, stalks of celery and anything else Ted could squeeze in. However, the juicer has an expiration date; after years of abuse, one of the wires shorted out, causing it to to overheat and suddenly explodes. The force of the explosion sent the blade flying, impaling itself in Ted's neck, severing his carotid artery, causing massive hemorrhaging. When the smoke cleared, Ted was dead.
"Ted was a big old bull moose who liked to juice. But then his juicer blew a gasket, and Ted wound up in a casket."
